Denver Brewery Taprooms: Patios, Rooftops and Pub Hours

Bull & Bush closes at 11 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, Breckenridge Brewery RiNo Patio closes at 10 PM every night, and the Coors Field rooftop keeps its own schedule. That is the order of business for anyone planning a taproom afternoon in Denver. Three open breweries are covered here: a large industrial taproom in RiNo with a dog-friendly courtyard, a London-style pub on Cherry Creek South Drive with a full week of listed hours, and a rooftop beer garden half a block from Coors Field. This refresh keeps what the listings and venue sites state about hours, seating, access and parking, and leaves out pint prices and happy hour windows that no source gives. Hours and offerings change, so the venue pages carry the current details.

The venue's site lists Domestica American Golden Ale at 4.9% ABV and 11 IBU (ratiobeerworks.com), a useful number for anyone planning more than one round. Google rates the taproom 4.6 of 5 from 892 ratings, and the listing puts it in the inexpensive price band. The same listing shows free street parking and paid street parking, with a wheelchair accessible entrance and wheelchair accessible parking.

For the wider neighborhood, the site's RiNo happy hour guide covers other taprooms and craft bars nearby.

Bull & Bush Pub & Brewery at 4700 Cherry Creek S Dr is a mock-up of a famed London pub and a local fixture for craft beer, bar bites and occasional live jazz. The pub has been in Glendale, Colorado since 1971, according to its site, which describes hand-crafted beer and excellent dining in an English pub atmosphere.

The week runs like this: 11 AM to 10 PM Monday through Thursday, 11 AM to 11 PM on Friday, 10 AM to 11 PM on Saturday and 10 AM to 10 PM on Sunday. Saturday and Sunday both open an hour earlier than the weekdays, which suits a late-morning pint more than most taprooms allow. The pub serves beer and takeout, and Google rates it 4.6 of 5 from 1746 ratings.

Live jazz is occasional, so a night built around the music is worth confirming on the venue page first. The pub's free street parking and wheelchair accessible entrance and parking are covered in the parking section below.

Rooftop Brewing Co. at 1920 Blake St is a rooftop beer garden half a block from Coors Field. According to tapfourteen.com, it pours 70 Colorado craft beers on draft and serves crafted cocktails, with skyline views from the roof. The Google listing calls it a convivial hangout with local beers and spirits, plus a rooftop patio with city views.

The listing also shows outdoor seating, live music, brunch and coffee, and the venue takes reservations. That makes it the one stop of the three where a group can book ahead instead of waiting for a table. Google rates it 4.4 of 5 from 1862 ratings, and the price band is moderate.

The draft list is the reason to climb the stairs, and the skyline is the reason to stay for a second round. For other rooftops across the city, the Denver rooftop happy hours guide has the wider rundown.

The two venues with listed hours differ in how they end the night. Breckenridge Brewery RiNo Patio keeps one schedule seven days a week, 11am to 10pm. Bull & Bush changes by day, and it is the only one of the three that stays open until 11 PM, on Friday and Saturday.

Put side by side, the choices sort themselves:

• Weekday lunch or an early pint: both Breckenridge Brewery RiNo Patio and Bull & Bush open at 11 in the morning.
• Weekend morning: Bull & Bush opens at 10 AM on Saturday and Sunday (bullandbush.com).
• The latest close: Bull & Bush at 11 PM on Friday and Saturday.
• A fixed schedule that never changes by day: Breckenridge Brewery RiNo Patio, daily 11am-10pm (ratiobeerworks.com).

Sunday is the shortest night at Bull & Bush, which closes at 10 PM, the same time as its Monday to Thursday evenings.

Each venue has a different kind of outdoor or social space, so the choice comes down to what the group wants to do.

The courtyard at Breckenridge Brewery RiNo Patio is the one built around dogs and games, and the large industrial room behind it gives a group space to spread out. Rooftop Brewing Co. offers outdoor seating on the roof with city views, and its listing shows live music and reservations (tapfourteen.com). Bull & Bush Pub & Brewery is the indoor English-pub option, where bar bites and the occasional live jazz night come with the room.

Food and drink options per the listings: Breckenridge Brewery RiNo Patio serves beer and delivers. Bull & Bush serves beer and takeout, with bar bites on the menu. Rooftop Brewing Co. lists local beers and spirits, brunch and coffee, and its site adds crafted cocktails.
