Hidden Gems in Sunnyside: Wild Ales and a Dog Patio

Last call first: Sunnyside Supply Co. closes at midnight daily, and Mockery Brewing closes at 10 p.m. daily. Both sit in the 80211 ZIP code, and together they make a Sunnyside day plan built around the clock. One is a bar and bottle shop on W 44th Ave with a dog-friendly patio that opens at 8 a.m. The other is a wild ale taproom that opens at 2 p.m. Both run a happy hour every day, and the two windows overlap for exactly one hour, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. That is the whole plan, and it fits on a napkin.

Sunnyside Supply Co. is a neighborhood bar and bottle shop at 2885 W 44th Ave, Denver, CO 80211. The location page is the listed source for that address. The 303Happenings venue page lists it as opening at 8 a.m. The patio is spacious and dog-friendly, which settles the question of what to do with the dog. Buy a bottle to take home, or grab a draft and sit outside with your pup.

The doors are open daily from 8 a.m. to midnight, and pickup runs the same hours, every day of the week. That is sixteen hours of open door, and of the places on this list Sunnyside Supply Co. has the earliest opening and the latest closing, Monday through Sunday. It is also the only place on this list with outdoor seating, dogs allowed and free street parking.

Google users have rated it 4.9 of 5 across 905 ratings, the highest Google rating on the list. It is an inexpensive stop. The bottle shop side means the visit does not have to end at the table: finish the draft, then take something home. For a dog patio in Sunnyside and a Sunnyside bottle shop under one roof, this is the entry. For more patios that welcome dogs elsewhere in the city, Dog-Friendly Denver collects patios, breweries and parks.

Mockery Brewing is an anti-establishment craft brewery at 1441 W 46th Ave Unit 19, Denver, CO 80211, listed in RiNo, and its taproom is the no-nonsense kind. The brewery's site describes its wild and sour, barrel-aged beers. For wild ales in Denver, that is a direct answer, and the taproom is an easy place to plan an afternoon around.

The taproom is open daily from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. and serves beer. Google users have rated it 4.8 of 5 across 214 ratings, and it is an inexpensive stop. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, and so is the parking, which is worth knowing before you plan the route.

The afternoon opening shapes the day. Mornings and lunch belong to the bottle shop, because the bottle shop is already open while the taproom is still dark. The taproom is the stop that waits for the afternoon, then keeps the evening until 10 p.m. Its doors are open eight hours a day, and its happy hour ends at 6 p.m., which leaves the last four hours of the day at regular pace for a second round.

Both places run a happy hour every day of the week, so a Tuesday works as well as a Saturday. The windows are listed by time and day only, and what each deal covers is a question for the venue. A deal with three conditions is a menu, not a deal, and neither entry lists conditions, only the window.

• Sunnyside Supply Co.: happy hour daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., which starts three hours after the doors open at 8 a.m. The 303Happenings page is the place to check current details.
• Mockery Brewing: happy hour daily from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., which starts the moment the taproom opens. The brewery's site is the place to check what it offers.

The Sunnyside window closes at 3 p.m. and the Mockery window opens at 2 p.m., so both deals are running between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. That is the one hour to know if you want a Sunnyside happy hour and a taproom happy hour in the same afternoon. Arrive at the taproom at 2 p.m. and the bottle shop window still has an hour left on the clock. Hours and specials change, so confirm on the venue pages before heading out.

Sunnyside Supply Co. lists free street parking, and it is the only place on this list that does. Mockery Brewing lists a wheelchair accessible entrance and wheelchair accessible parking. Every place on this list is open Monday through Sunday, so there is no day when the plan falls through.

The 8 a.m. opening and midnight close at Sunnyside Supply Co. leave room for either an early bottle pickup or a late draft on the patio. Mockery Brewing's 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. hours suit an afternoon running into early evening, and the taproom is the later of the two to open.

For a plan across both, start at Sunnyside Supply Co. while its 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. happy hour is running. Then move to Mockery Brewing, which opens at 2 p.m. and keeps its happy hour going until 6 p.m. If the plan runs late, take transit or a rideshare home rather than driving.

Updated 2026-10-15: cut the repeated stock phrase and the marketing wording, removed links outside the allowed list, and tied each address, hour and happy hour window to its listed source.
