Denver Happy Hour Deals by Neighborhood

Start with Jax Fish House in LoDo on a Monday: its happy hour runs all night, so there is no clock to watch, per The Scout Guide. The rest of Denver's happy hour deals cluster in Union Station, Larimer Square, LoDo and RiNo. This page lays them out by neighborhood first, then by drink, then by day, so the day of the week picks the stop. The walk runs from the train hall outward, and each section starts with the days a place runs, because a Saturday plan and a Monday plan are not the same plan.

Eight places follow, across four neighborhoods: two in Union Station, three on Larimer Square, one in LoDo and two in RiNo. The order is the walk order, from the train hall outward.

Every window below is given with its days wherever a source states them. Days come first, then the seat, then the items on the list. A deal with three conditions is a menu, not a deal, so read the conditions before anything else. Dollar amounts and clock times stay off this page, because the sources name the days and the items and nothing firmer than that.

The Scout Guide has Jax Fish House running all night on Monday. That makes Monday the easiest night of the week to plan, and it is the reason the page opens there.

Tavernetta is the pick for a seat with a view of the comings and goings: the happy hour is at the bar across from the train hall, according to the Denver Happy Hours guide. That guide puts the deal in a bar-and-lounge setting, so a table in the dining room is a different plan. Ask for the bar seat by name.

Ultreia runs every day, and The Scout Guide names a Gilda, a tapas board, a cerveza, a Negroni and vino on its list. Because it runs every day, it is the dependable Union Station stop on any night of the week, including the nights when Tavernetta's bar seat is not the plan.

The list reads as drinks first, with a tapas board to share. Order down the list by glass: the cerveza for something light, the Negroni for something bitter, and vino for a long evening. With only two stops in the neighborhood, the plan is short: Ultreia on any day, Tavernetta when the bar seat across from the train hall is the point.

For Union Station and the rest of downtown, the page on Denver rooftop happy hours covers a different kind of window, the kind that comes with stairs and a view.

Osteria Marco is the weekday stop for a plate and a glass. It runs Monday through Friday, and The Scout Guide names a house meatball, housemade ricotta, Prosecco, draft beers, house wine and a Negroni. The window is weekdays only, which makes it an after-work stop rather than a weekend one.

Rioja splits its deal in two. The Scout Guide has drinks running daily and food running Monday through Friday. Wine, Montucky, cocktails and cured meats are on the list, and seating is at the bar. A Saturday visit gets the drink deal, and the food belongs to the weekday window. That split is the fine print worth reading twice, because the same bar can honor one half of the deal and not the other.

Corridor 44 is a Champagne bar and runs Monday through Friday, and The Scout Guide puts oysters on its list. Because Corridor 44 and Osteria Marco are both weekday stops, a Saturday plan on Larimer Square leans on Rioja's drink deal alone.

On a weekday, all three Larimer Square places are in play. The order that suits the list is Rioja for the first drink and food, Osteria Marco for the plate, and Corridor 44 for the Champagne and oysters.

Jax Fish House has the window that changes shape by day. The Scout Guide has it running all night on Monday and in an afternoon window Tuesday through Sunday. The list there is built around oysters: Crackerjax oysters, chargrilled oysters, a fried oyster roll and an oyster shooter, with peel-and-eat shrimp, mussels and cocktails on tap alongside. Drafts are discounted.

The reason to go is the oyster list, since four preparations sit inside the one window and a table can compare them in a single sitting. On Monday the window has no end time to race, so the second round can be taken slowly, which is the round that judges a bar anyway.

From Tuesday through Sunday the afternoon window does have an end, so the sensible order is to sit down early and order the oysters first. Shrimp, mussels and the tap cocktails can follow once the oysters are on the table. For more on the neighborhood, see LoDo and downtown happy hours.

Mister Oso is the one to choose for the patio, which The Scout Guide calls one of the better ones on Larimer. It runs every day, and the list has a margarita, a Modelo tall boy, tequila shots and Death Bear nachos. It also has a frito pie, a mini queso and a Gordo crunch. The daily schedule means no day of the week rules it out, which makes it the easy answer for a Sunday.

Uchi runs daily, per The Scout Guide, with cocktails, Sapporo, sake and wine on the list and a happy hour omakase for two. That makes it a pick for a pair rather than a solo stop. Between the two RiNo places, the choice is the patio and the nachos at Mister Oso, or the sake and the omakase for two at Uchi. Both run every day, so the day never makes the choice for you.

For breweries and craft bars in the same neighborhood, see RiNo happy hours.

For when the craving comes before the neighborhood. Items here are from The Scout Guide.

Oysters. Jax Fish House has Crackerjax oysters, chargrilled oysters, a fried oyster roll and an oyster shooter, so it is the choice for a table that wants to compare them. Corridor 44 also serves oysters, on weekdays only.

Cocktails. Mister Oso has a margarita, Uchi and Rioja have cocktails, and Jax Fish House has cocktails on tap. Ultreia and Osteria Marco each have a Negroni. Tavernetta's deal is built around the bar seat rather than a drink, so it belongs in a plan about where to sit.

Beer. Rioja pours Montucky, Mister Oso has a Modelo tall boy, Uchi has Sapporo, Ultreia has a cerveza and Osteria Marco has draft beers. Jax Fish House discounts its drafts.

Food. Osteria Marco has a house meatball and housemade ricotta, and Rioja has cured meats. Jax Fish House has peel-and-eat shrimp and mussels, Ultreia has a Gilda and a tapas board, and Mister Oso has nachos, a frito pie and a mini queso. For restaurant-style food deals elsewhere in the city, see Denver restaurant food deals.

Ace Eat Serve is a ping pong hall serving Asian-inspired food, and First in Denver calls it a weekday after-work spot, with drinks included in its loosened-up menu. That suits a group that wants something to do with its hands between rounds. It is a weekday plan, so keep it off the weekend list.

Clock times and dollar amounts stay out of the table because the sources name days and items, not prices.

On a Monday, Jax Fish House is the choice, since its deal runs all night then. On a weekday, the Larimer Square stops are all open, so Rioja's food comes first and Corridor 44 can follow, with Osteria Marco between them. On a weekend, Ultreia, Mister Oso and Uchi run daily, which makes them the dependable choices, and Rioja's drink deal still runs on Saturday. Plan the ride home before the second round, and use transit or a rideshare rather than driving.

Updated 2026-10-15: removed the "insider" phrasing, the Do303 details and the "check with the bar" hedge; rebuilt the day reference as a full table with Tavernetta added.
