Wine Spots in Highland: From 7 AM to 2 AM

Four Highland places pour wine, and their hours run from Avanti Food & Beverage opening at 7 a.m. to The Coffee Joint closing at 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. They are set in order by the hour each one opens, not ranked.

Avanti Food & Beverage is the earliest opening of the places on this list, at 7 a.m. every day. It is a bi-level shipping container holding a variety of vendors, pizza and sushi among them, plus a rooftop bar, at 3200 N Pecos St. Its site lists affordably priced wines. Hours are Mon-Thu 7 a.m.-11 p.m., Fri-Sat 7 a.m.-1 a.m. and Sun 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Brunch runs Sat-Sun 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Outdoor seating is available and reservations are taken.

Blue Pan Pizza Brunch is the only place on this list that serves dessert and lists vegetarian options. It is an airy, casual pizzeria at 3934 W 32nd Ave, serving Italian specialties alongside Colorado-centric beer and cocktails, and it serves wine too. Its site gives the hours: Mon-Thu 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Fri-Sat 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and Sun 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Street parking is free or paid on the block.

El Five Rooftop Terrace serves Spanish and Eastern Mediterranean small plates and drinks, wine among them, in a funky, buzzy top-floor penthouse at 2930 Umatilla St Unit #500. Edible Beats describes a large, open-air patio with rooftop views, five floors above LoHi. It is open Mon-Sat 4 p.m.-10 p.m., so last call comes early by Highland standards. Reservations are taken and outdoor seating is available. The price level is expensive.

The Coffee Joint has the latest closing of the places on this list: 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. It is also the only one listed as good for groups.
