What a stunning bar with stunning views! My boyfriend and I came here for a drink after we watched a show at the Paramount theater. They were quite busy and the wait took a bit before we were able to order, and the bar tender was like "wow you guys have been waiting so patiently thank you so much" and gave us our two drinks on the house. How kind! We then cozied up in one of their big chairs and took in the city lights below us. Definitely one of my new to go spots to bring friends for a nice drinks if you want a step above the normal casual bar vibe. read more

This review is based on a super-short visit on 6/28/24. - Access: The rooftop bar is located inside of Le Méridien. You need to check in with the host, who is standing behind a bar of sorts , located next to the check-in area (left, if you are facing the check-in area). - Space: When I received a text (approx 20 min later), I was escorted up to the bar, which wasn't fully shaded (I think it would be great if they added some sail shades or something) and it was PACKED. Granted, it was around 4:40 at this point on a Friday afternoon which is the prime time to visit a rooftop bar. To me, most of the seating arrangements were better suited to large groups. I could have gotten a seat, but doing so would have been basically like barging in to another group. I probably could have squeezed myself in a the bar which was standing-room only, but both options seemed super awkward, so I ended up leaving. - View: Gorgeous! I could see why this place was such a draw. I debated posting a review because I didn't have a chance to order a drink or a bite, but erred on the side of posting because I would have appreciated having this information in advance of my visit. read more

My friends and I went to the rooftop bar on a weekday after work. We were seated immediately, as there were a few tables available. The view was stunning! We ordered a couple of drinks, but I'd say they were just okay; nothing special. I think it's a place I'd visit once, but probably not again. read more

Great place ... can be totally full on a Friday or Saturday night but they have great drinks, good laid back vibe and it's on a rooftop what could be better ? read more

Ambiance is a bit reminiscent of Los Angeles, except lacking the fantastic view. The view looks to the south side of Denver, so you're not going to get skyscrapers The drinks were around $16-18. Nothing to brag about. Service was fast, but it was also not a crowded night. I would recommend just to check it out but if there's a long wait time, feel free to skip read more

A great spot in downtown Denver! It has amazing views of the mountains with delicious food & drink options.

This is the highest rooftop bar in Denver, and one of the only rooftop bars downtown where you can really see the mountains. I didn't try the food because it looked only okay, but my cherry limeade slushee was delicious! I had no issues with service and was lucky enough to find a spot to sit. read more

This is one of my favorite places in the area. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, perfect for relaxing with friends or after a hard day. The wine flights here are generous and delicious, and the drink selection is varied. I especially liked the non-alcoholic drink, similar to an Aperol Spritz refreshing and delicious. The service is excellent, even when the place is busier. Next time, I will definitely try the food. This is a place I want to return to! I recommend it for any occasion. read more

Great service, great atmosphere and beautiful views. This reminds me of many great Marriott Rooftops and that is a really good thing. Always a great way to start a happy hour. read more

Vibes on vibes with this tallest rooftop bar in Denver. Drinks with a view are the best! Went at night so it was very loud. I wonder if it is just as loud during the day. Or maybe I am getting old. I would love for it to be a bit more chill but that's me. Definitely worth the pop up there to grab a drink. Got a very yummy blackberry gin sour. Didn't get any food, but the homemade chips coming out looked yum. read more

Overall a nice little spot for drinks and snacks. The service was pretty casual which seems to be the norm for most Denver spots. All the areas have some heat source available though the ones with fire seem to be most warm. The grilled cheese and butternut soup was pretty great, I just wish the soup had a tad more salt to bring out the flavor. Otherwise it was a great treat for a cold night. The drinks were well balanced and the view and ambiance were nice as well. read more

Love love the views and vibes of this place! A friend and I Were visiting Denver and I stumbled upon this place when trying to find a rooftop right before dinner. There was a little wait to get upstairs since its first come first serve. We had a drink at the downstairs bar of the hotel. When we got upstairs, it was packed! The views were immaculate. I had a raspberry gin and my friend ordered an espresso martini. We watched the sunset, gorgeous! Definitely will be back next time I'm in Denver. We recommended it to some friends that live in Denver too read more

Great views of the city with a very relaxed atmosphere. A lot of comfy chairs to sit in and great for larger parties (7-8 people). Fire pits and heaters are amazing especially when it's cold. The drinks are very expensive although they are tasty! I spent about $24 on one drink, when I upgraded the whiskey. I feel like this is ridiculously expensive. If I spent more time I can't imagine what my bill would cost. Great for a one-and-done cocktail or special occasion. read more

I went to the rooftop to go workout at the gym in the hotel. 54thirty is literally right next door. So after working up a sweat I was obviously parched....so I went to the bar... I stood at the bar for 8 minutes (stand in silence for 8 minutes and you'll understand how long that really feels). Not on my phone...just taking in the scene. The bartender was busy with server tickets and I completely understand that. But the was not any sort of acknowledgement, greeting, smile or even eye contact. After 6 minutes the bartender was done and was just standing there talking to another bartender who I believe might've been starting his shift. After 2 minutes I just left! And literally as I took one step back THEN he decides to walk up to see if I needed something. I walked away and just said "NOPE!" I wish I could say the service is awful....but I never received any to know. So if you wanna be ignored....go to 54thirty! If you want amazing service and great food then GO DOWNSTAIRS TO CORINNE! read more

Great ambiance here and fabulous views. Can get a little windy being outside on a roof but views are worth it. The drinks here are a little pricey but you are essentially paying for the view. The drinks themselves were pretty good. They only offer apps, not entrees here. All of the apps we got were great! Some of the spicy dishes were a lot spicier than I was anticipating. I've been here multiple times and will keep coming back for the amazing views. It can get crowded here but seating is first come first serve so you can always stand somewhere until a seat opens up and grab it. read more

I was in Denver visiting a friend, and we decided to check out this bar. Honestly, it was just okay. The service was slow, and it felt a bit overhyped. Having to hold my card just to place an order felt a bit odd. There wasn't really anywhere comfortable to sit, either. The view wasn't anything special -- just other buildings. The drinks were decent but overpriced for what they were. After the experience, I don't feel any need to go back. There are definitely better spots outside of Denver that offer great service and much better scenery. Once was more than enough for me. read more

Really unique and interesting cocktails, albeit a touch pricey. Good service. Can get busy but we came around 4pm and found a few seats available. Nice view from one direction but otherwise nothing too spectacular. Worth a visit. Easy access if staying at the hotel but open to the public, also. read more

Best ambiance in the city! We went up after having dinner at the hotel and ended up sharing a table with a couple. We all had a great time! The bartender was very knowledgeable and made us cocktails that weren't even on the menu but absolutely delicious. read more

James and Meg were amazing. Great suggestions on how to make my drink better. Very friendly.

Even though it was cold out, the rooftop bar has a beautiful atmosphere. The fire was warm, and there were blankets. Service was attentive and great. We tried the charcuterie plate which was ok (suggestion- add nuts and olives to it!) and I tried both mocktails (Dry January) and they were tasty. It was our first visit to Denver and I definitely would go back to the rooftop. read more

Awesome service and easily accessible with an electric wheelchair. I live in Denver but was trying new downtown restaurants with friends visiting for a conference. This is right across the street from Hyatt Regency Convention Center. We ordered a few things to try. Everything was great and tasty. It has a great view of the mountains. It was still a little chilly even with the heaters in September. We will for sure come again. read more

Came here for a birthday party on a Saturday a few weeks ago. I ubered because I was drinking anyway, but also the parking situation seemed sketchy. They do have valet for about 10$ I think which isn't bad. But about the same as an uber if you live close by. We had reservations so there was no wait, although it was for 8 people and it was made months ago...they still ended up separating the 2 tables which was kind of awkward. The views are amazing! Got to see a great view of Denver while enjoying a nice evening. I got a few glasses of the rose, and the seabass for food. The amount of food on the plate was not a lot, but I know it's supposed to be a tapas place. What was on the place was delicious, the sea bass was flaky and tender. Was nice with the greens on top. But I was still hungry after and the prices are kind of high, so if you want to leave this place full expect to pay a lot. The outside patio is where you really want to be, went there after for some pictures, you can really see the outline of the city and the moon. I think next time I'd come back just for drinks to sit on the patio on a full moon night. read more

James and Nate were the best. Thank you for creating an unforgettable experience. I'm visiting from San Diego and not only did they give a great experience, they were able to give me so many recommendations. It meant so much to a new comer. Thank you guys again. read more

Picture this, you stroll through the hotel entrance around a quick corner and are greeted by a small cart with a big smile from the hostess. We were lucky the bar was not too crowded (understatement). As the hostess, walks you to the elevator and use their straight to the roof access card, you might be in anticipation of the reviews on the rooftop view which are well warranted. Once you leave the elevators and follow the narrow corridor around to the left it opens up with fresh air and party vibes. The fun begins when trying to find a seat to enjoy the views and drinks. I wish it was more like Europe with community seating because there are a few places that could accomodate 6 to 8 people, but a few patrons preferred to have space to do their IG poses. If you head to the balcony facing the mountains there is enough space for about 15 people and provides you not only a beautiful view of the mountains, but also prime location to procure open seating as it becomes available. If you arrive towards the evening time bring a jacket because after the sun starts to set behind the mountains, the temperature drops and gets a bit breezy. The drinks are strong and well made. Shout out to the bar staff, I left my tab open and forgot my credit card. Once I realized this an hour later, headed back to the spot approached the bar and we all had a chuckle. Kudos! read more

54thirty Rooftop - Do not forget to look up after you view the mountains! - Lounges Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Rooftop bars have been gaining popularity around the country, and in Southern California, they became a staple even before the pandemic, solidifying their status as restrictions eased. ASG did their homework before heading out to Denver and chose to stay at Le Méridien hotel, conveniently located within walking distance to key attractions like the holiday Christkindl Market and the Denver Art Museum. And, they host the 54 Thirty rooftop bar, offering stunning views of the city. What better way to experience Denver than from above? Despite the chilly weather during our visit, 54 Thirty remained open, as long as the conditions weren't too harsh. If you find yourself braving the cold, we highly recommend sitting near the bar and the heat lamps--or, like us, close to one of the fireplaces. We kicked off our evening with a Boozy Hot Chocolate (featuring Mezcal), Korean BBQ Chips with Gochujang Onion Dip, and Lamb Meatball Sliders. There was also a special that night: Salmon Poke Lettuce Wraps, which we couldn't resist. The Hot Chocolate was a handful and packed quite a punch of Mezcal. The Korean BBQ Chips were lightly seasoned but freshly prepared, perfectly complementing the tangy Gochujang dip. Fresh chips are a must-order for us, anytime they're on the menu. The Lamb Sliders stole the show--they were everything we expected, and more. The whipped burrata, tomato sauce, and microgreens added a delightful Asian flair to the dish. Lamb on a Hawaiian roll is always a win, and the sliders were the ideal size for our appetites. The Poke Lettuce Wraps, while decent, could have used a bit more salt and sweetness. Personally, I prefer my poke drenched in soy sauce and sugar. However, they were completely guilt-free, which was a nice touch. The views from 54 Thirty are unparalleled. Facing west-south, the bar offers a unique perspective of the city. We made sure to arrive early to catch the sunset, and the Denver sky did not disappoint. 54 Thirty is a fantastic spot to kick off any trip, and its vantage point allows you to get a lay of the land and plan your adventures. We highly recommend making reservations or at least calling ahead, as the bar often hosts private parties that can close down the entire facility for the night. Upon arrival at Le Méridien, check in with the hostess to the left of the Hotel Desk or to the right of the charming bar in the lobby. The lobby itself is a cozy place to relax while you wait. Parking in the city can be a challenge, so plan ahead. We found that the shopping center across the street offers the best value for covered parking and is within easy walking distance.

This place is awesome! The view is lovely, they have little fire pits that keep you warm, and the bartenders were very nice!

If you are looking for this place, start by walking into the lobby of the Le' Meridian Hotel and find the hostess stand to your left. Upon arrival, place yourself on the wait list, and they text you when space us available, normally 5-10 mins or 45 mins when busy. When you are buzzed, you are led to elevators to take you to the rooftop. Upon leaving the elevator, you come upon a huge bar with plenty of really good & fast bartenders. There is plenty of seating. As you walk to the back, it is full of open-air seating spaces with beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains. There is a nice cocktail & small bites menu to choose from. Ww ended up trying a couple of their cocktails but shaped the tequila for mezcal in them instead. We also tried about 4/5 food items, and all were truly good. One of the best parts of our evening was the sunset. You get some of the best 180° views of the Rocky Mountains as the sun is going down. So cool views, cocktails, and small bites are what to fully enjoy and you will have at this rooftop bar. If you are in Denver for a vacation or just visiting downtown, drop on in & take an elevator ride up to 5280 views & vibes. read more

This place was recommended to us while we were in town for a few days. This rooftop has an amazing view of the city. Perfect on a nice a sunny day. They have a nice variety of drinks on their menu but you can also request something else off the menu too if you don't find anything you like. They also have food options. Staff are great. Definitely check it out! Would recommend to anyone! read more

We really wanted to eat here but the seats filled up immediately after the rooftop opened so we had to go somewhere else. It's first come, first serve only. I wish they had a way to reserve a table and a bit of a quieter atmosphere. read more

My friend and I had just flew in from California and we decided to go check this place out. We walked in went to the little cart they have set up for the roof top and spoke with the lady she advised us there was no room and we could wait until someone left to go up so we sat outside the restaurant which is right next to the cart, waiting and another couple walked up and she took them right up no reservation as we were within ear shot of the conversation. We thought that was strange so we continued to wait, a gentleman walked up and once again she took him up. So at this point it's pretty clear they just didn't want us up there for whatever reason we aren't sure so we left. Very disappointed and sad to see as we felt judged maybe by our appearance or the fact I have tattoos all over not sure it's all speculation but the fact was they didn't want us up there. Hopefully they will change their policies and allow all different types of people in and not just the ones that "look" a certain way. read more

Nice little touristy rooftop with great drinks and yummy appetizers. It was crowded before sunset but we got lucky with a party leaving their table as we arrived. It's first come, first serve yet one of the tables had a reserved sign on it when we arrived so don't know how that works. The staff was friendly but not the most attentive and seemed to be a little overwhelmed by the number of customers. Although our food arrived a bit cold, I throughly enjoyed the short rib tacos, the elote dip, and my summer crush cocktail. It's just apps, so I wouldn't recommend going too hungry. The view also isn't that great but we did get a pretty spectacular sunset! I don't think I would return. read more
