Driving back up Parker Road after a long, hot day on the southestern plains Saturday, the temptation to brake for the Emerald Isle was almost overwhelming. Not just because the bar itself is such a classic roadhouse — but because the patio behind it may just be the closest Denver comes to an actual beach. But who needs a beach — all that sand! and those mosquitos! — when the deck is this expansive, and the view of Cherry Creek Reservoir as refreshing as any ocean breeze.
The Emerald Isle happy hour only runs from 3-6 p.m. on weekdays, but we can guarantee that almost any hour you spend on this patio will be a happy one. Land ho!
