Start with Drag Bingo at Hamburger Mary's Denver on Wednesday at 7 PM, then work outward. This week in Denver runs from an outdoor food truck space on Monday to a late-night club on Saturday. Forest Room 5 keeps a fire-pit patio open until 2 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and Club Vinyl opens its doors at 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Here is how the week of Oct 26 to 31 lines up, day by day.

Hamburger Mary's Denver, Denver

Monday and Tuesday Events

Improper City for Food Trucks and Dogs

Improper City: RiNo

Improper City is a massive outdoor space ringed with food trucks, set in a warehouselike building at 3201 Walnut St #107. On Monday and Tuesday it is open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and it takes reservations. Dogs are allowed, which makes it the only place on this page where they are. Happy hour runs Monday through Thursday, 3 to 6 p.m., according to Improper City , and the site covers the outdoor space and hours. Hours and specials change, so confirm before heading out.

    Forest Room 5 is shut all day Monday, so Tuesday is the first night of the week to use it. It opens at 4:30 p.m. and closes at 2 a.m., and the artsy, rustic interior sits beside an outdoor area with fire pits and a flowing creek. The address is 2532 15th St. Happy hour runs daily from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., so the first stretch after opening is the cheaper one. It takes reservations and serves beer and wine.

Wednesday and Thursday Events

  1. 2
    The Irish Rover (Denver), Denver

    The Irish Rover is a homey bar at 54 S Broadway with a long lineup of Celtic brews and a whiskey selection. On Wednesday it opens at 3 p.m. and stays open until 2 a.m. The spacious rooftop patio is open year round, according to The Irish Rover, with retractable awnings and walls, fireplace tables, overhead heaters and misters. That makes it a sensible choice as the weather turns cold. Trivia fans can find this week's quiz nights in Free and Cheap in Denver This Week.

Hamburger Mary's Denver for Drag Bingo

Drag Bingo is the draw at Hamburger Mary's Denver , 1336 E 17th Ave, where it runs every Wednesday at 7 PM. The place is an American bar and grill where diner classics and cocktails meet quirky entertainment. The site has the rest. It takes reservations and has outdoor seating, and it has free street parking.

    Los Chingones is a graffiti-splashed Mexican eatery and lounge at 2463 Larimer St, with innovative tacos, cocktails and a patio. On Thursday it serves from 11:30 a.m. until 9 p.m., which suits an early dinner more than a late night. It serves beer, wine and cocktails, and its own site has the rest. Street parking is both free and paid.

Friday and Saturday Nights

Club Vinyl for a Late-Night Dance Floor

Club Vinyl: Capitol Hill

Club Vinyl is the late-night answer this week: a stylish nightspot at 1082 Broadway with 4 levels and dance floors, outdoor seating, hookahs and bottle service. It is open Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., and closed every other night. It serves beer, wine and cocktails and has live music, and the club's site has more. The entrance and the restroom are wheelchair accessible, and street parking is paid.

Getting there and parking

Club Vinyl: Capitol Hill

Hamburger Mary's has free street parking, and Los Chingones has free and paid street parking. Club Vinyl has paid street parking, so budget for it on Friday and Saturday. The late closers are Forest Room 5, The Irish Rover and Club Vinyl, all at 2 a.m., so a rideshare or transit home beats driving on those nights.

The week in order: Improper City on Monday, Forest Room 5 on Tuesday, Drag Bingo on Wednesday, an early dinner at Los Chingones on Thursday, and Club Vinyl to close out Friday and Saturday.
