303-993-4200
Happy-hour hours: 4:30-7 p.m. Monday-Friday, 3-5 p.m. Saturday-Sunday
Happy-hour deals: $3-$5 cocktails, $5 wines, $3 beers, $3.50-$6 snacks
Justin Cucci's Root Down opened in an old garage space in December 2008 and immediately attracted a crowd of hipsters drawn by the aesthetic (Grandma Pack Rat meets Andy Warhol), the local food focus, and the well-stocked bar. During happy hour, groups post up in the round booths and at high tables, sipping a rotating list of cocktails and munching on such snacks as veggie-burger sliders and edamame hummus with wonton chips. Our favorite order: the 42 Below Rosemary-Lavender Lemonade and sweet-potato fries dipped in lime curry. Bonus points for a lovely deck with a stunning view of downtown.
STEUBEN'S
523 East 17th Avenue, Denver
303-830-1001
Happy-hour hours: 4-7 p.m. daily, $5 deal after 10 p.m.
Happy-hour deals: $1 off wine, wells, select domestics
Steuben's has become a favorite go-to location at all hours, with a menu that offers something for everyone, with regional specialties from across the country. But if you just want to grab a stool at the bar, that's okay, too: Mixologist Sean Kenyon oversees a staff that creates wonderful things, including fig-infused Stranahan's and classic cocktails resurrected from pre-Prohibition days. The real deal here is offered after 10 p.m. daily, when you can get a burger or Chicago dog, a side (great fries, coleslaw or hush puppies) and a can of domestic beer for just $5.
TAG
1441 Larimer Street, Denver
303-996-9985
Happy-hour hours: 2-6 p.m. Monday-Friday
Happy-hour deals: $5 beer, wine, cocktails and snacks
When TAG opened last May, it gave a shot of sex appeal to Larimer Square. The swank booths in the funky dining room are usually full of Denver scenesters, talking animatedly over Troy Guard's brand of East-meets-West fare. And TAG brings out its best during happy hour, when diners can indulge in such Guard classics as Kobe beef sliders and Baja fish tacos, paired with cocktail creations from bar manager Mike Henderson, a leader in Denver's cocktail scene. Don't miss the daily mojito, crafted from seasonal fruit, or any of the drinks featuring the housemade tonic. The math-impaired will appreciate that everything on the happy-hour list is a flat $5.
TAMBIEN
250 Steele Street, Denver
303-333-1763
Happy-hour hours: 4-6 p.m., 10 p.m.-midnight daily
Happy-hour deals: $2 PBR, $3 Tecate, Dos XX and Sol, $3 wells, $4.50 mojitos, $5 margs; $2 happy-hour food menu and $1 tacos (10 p.m.-midnight only)
If Cherry Creek has a clubhouse, it's Tambien. The downstairs patio is a neighborhood gathering place, the dark restaurant/bar beyond a riot of Mexican memorabilia. And if you order a couple of the award-winning margs at the $5 happy-hour price, you could be making a few memories of your own. (Not that you'll be able to recall them the next day.) Smart regulars are already pouncing on Sean Yontz's excellent, $2 happy-hour food menu, which includes commendable queso and killer green-chile cheese fries. And buck tacos make the late-night happy hour even happier.
TONY'S MARKET
950 Broadway, Denver
720-880-4501
Happy-hour hours: 3-7 p.m. Monday-Saturday
Happy-hour deals: Bistro Bites ranging from $3 to $8; $2 house wines and bottled beers, $3 premium drafts, $10 pitchers
When Tony's Market opened a downtown store a year ago, it added a few amenities that have made for many happy hours. This Tony's not only has all the features of its suburban siblings, but there's an eat-in bistro where you can get burgers, pizzas and salads for lunch and dinner (breakfast is coming soon), as well as an array of appetizers at happy hour. Some of our favorites: meatball sliders in Tony's homemade sauce, 2 for $4 or 3 for $5; Mile High wings (order them hot) that really fly at 6 for $3 or 12 for $5; and an incredible antipasto plate featuring Tony's meats and cheeses for $8. On Friday afternoons, the bistro even brings in live music. And on any day, Tony's has one unbeatable feature: Since the liquor license covers the entire store, you can buy a happy-hour beverage and sip it while you shop.
VITA
1575 Boulder Street, Denver
303-477-4600
Happy-hour hours: 3-6:30 p.m. daily
Happy-hour deals: 2-for-1 wines, $4 wells, $3 draft beers, $2.50 Bud and Bud Light, $5 snacks, $3 sliders
Highland has become Denver's hottest restaurant neighborhood, and from the stunning rooftop of Vita, with its view of the Platte Valley and downtown beyond, you'll feel on top of the world. And definitely above the LoDo fray; this is just the spot for those who enjoy drinking outdoors without having to fight plastic-cup-carrying crowds. During happy hour, Vita attracts all kinds, enjoying an afternoon in the sun while sipping 2-for-1 glasses of wine while snacking on $5 bruschetta and $3 pulled-pork sliders.
837 East 17th Avenue, Denver
303-832-7313
Happy-hour hours: 3-6 p.m. Monday-Friday, 9-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday
Happy-hour deals: $2.50 drafts; $4 house wine; $3.50-$5 appetizers; some $8 entrees during late-night happy hour
You may eat healthy, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself. At WaterCourse, you can down a Great Divide brew for less than three bucks, when drafts are discounted 50 percent during happy hour. This vegetarian restaurant also has a worthwhile selection of apps that mirror (in a meat-free way) what you might find at your neighborhood sports bar: nachos, egg rolls and the like. Like its sibling, City, O' City, WaterCourse has an inviting feel, even if it's a little more formal and less rough around the edges.
