If you're looking to celebrate something special in Downtown Denver:
Tom's Watch Bar – Coors Field is a great choice. It's massive. Some rooms can hold over 500 people, and the space has a fun, sports-bar vibe that's perfect for birthdays, team events, or big group dinners. Prices are usually around $65 per person, and food and drinks are included in that.
Blanchard Family Wines in Lo-Do has a totally different vibe—perfect for wine lovers or more intimate celebrations. They have two spaces, one that fits up to 60 people and another smaller one for about 20 guests. You can book the space for a flat hourly or daily rate, starting around $150 an hour or $500 for the day.
Venture X LoDo is another cool option. It isn't a restaurant in the traditional sense but works well if you're planning something like a stylish private dinner or cocktail-style event. They offer flexible room sizes, from 75 up to 250 people, and prices start at $500 per hour. You can bring in your own catering, which gives you lots of freedom to personalise your celebration.
EL Five in Lo-Hi is one of the top spots for a wow-factor dinner. It's perched up high with killer city views, Mediterranean tapas, and multiple room sizes. They've got you covered if you want a private dinner for 18 or a full buyout for 225 guests. Just keep in mind that minimum spend starts around $3,000 and can go way up for larger groups.
Linger, also in Lo-Hi, is another great find. It's got a funky, modern menu and cool decor (the building used to be a mortuary, oddly enough). Smaller rooms start around a $2,000 minimum spend, and their largest space fits up to 450 people—great for weddings, receptions, or big company parties. It's popular, so booking early is a good idea.
Byblos Express Greek and Lebanese in Speer. It's great for people who want good food and good company without going overboard. It can hold up to 100 guests, and pricing is $30 per person, covering the space and food. It's a great pick for casual parties or family gatherings.
