54thirty is definitely a spot you go for the experience and views. The drinks are well made, but they are definitely on the expensive side. You're paying a little more for the rooftop atmosphere and the views of Denver. That being said, it's a fun place to bring people who are visiting or for a special occasion. The views are hard to beat, and it's a great spot to enjoy a drink while taking in the city. I wouldn't say it's an everyday bar for me because of the prices, but it's worth checking out for the rooftop experience.

On top of a luxury hotel is a fun rooftop bar. It has a wonderful view of the mountains, tasty snacks, and delightful drinks!

This bar is decent. The views are cool and the cocktails are good. The drinks are a bit pricey but for the views and ambiance, it's worth it. We also stayed in this hotel so it was convenient to check out. The service from the staff was nice as well.

On the rooftop of Le Méridien hotel, 54thirty sits at 5,430 feet in downtown Denver. With excellent views of the city and the Rocky Mountains, it is a great place to grab a cocktail. Seating is first-come, first-served and is usually very busy. We were lucky to grab a small table on a lovely, sunny afternoon. 54thirty offers seasonal cocktails, but I was craving a slightly dirty vodka martini, so that was my drink of choice. Our server was friendly and kept checking in. On this day, they had brand ambassadors for Tito's Vodka/Vodka for Dog People. They were handing out merch for pets and making customized pet tags. We even got to pet some dogs in the hotel lobby that were up for adoption. Sadly, my pup is a one-person, one-dog kinda gal, but she did score some swag. Love that 54thirty provided such a fun opportunity, an amazing view, and a refreshing martini!

Extremely busy. Don't plan on coming here after a concert at the Ball Arena (without a reservation) if you want a place to sit. However, the atmosphere is spectacular. Wonderful breeze on the rooftop and a good selection of wines + full bar. Casual, but nice attire. Note: their kitchen closes around 11pm on Saturdays. Great vibe but have a "plan B"/ backup bar picked out in advance.

A Sexy drink.

Drinks Atmosphere Servers and Service Not too loud Not messy People come, have their drinks and dip. It's a good place to add to a bar hop.

Located on the rooftop of Le Meridien in downtown Denver. They have their own desk in the lobby where you can check in show your ID and then get sent up the elevator to the 20th floor. Great views of the mountains and Denver here. They had lots of blankets and heaters to make sure that everyone could stay warm even in the winter time. It took a while for someone to come to where we were sitting. We were about to go up to the bar and order when our server finally showed up. None of the drinks on their menu were speaking to me so I just got a classic cosmopolitan. Our server messed up my husband's order. He asked for a Manhattan and she brought back a rye whiskey on the rocks. I'd try out another rooftop bar before heading back here, but if someone has not been before I'd still tell them it's worth checking out.

54thirty Rooftop in downtown Denver delivers on both atmosphere and food. A refined perch atop Le Méridien Denver Downtown, 54thirty is Denver's highest open-air rooftop bar. Their focus is on unique, hand-crafted cocktails and globally inspired bites. Named for its elevation of 5,430 feet, 54thirty Rooftop Bar in Denver is at a whole new level. After 6pm, entry is restricted to guests 21 and over. The rooftop views are amazing, it is a great spot to relax, especially around sunset. The vibe is lively but still comfortable enough to enjoy a conversation. There is plenty of seating but it was crowded when we arrived but we were able to find some seats close to a fire pit to stay warm. They offer a menu of shareable bites with a global spin. We ordered the chips and guacamole made with avocado and fresh made tortilla chips. We split the braised short rib tacos with avocado, cojita and radish that came with three tacos per order. The steak tacos were very tender and plentiful with toppings. We also tried a variety of cocktails from their bar. Their winter drink menu that highlights warm and spiced cocktails, a curated wine bottle list, and a spectrum of Denver's favorite craft beers. I tried the mezcal hot chocolate that was served with toasted marshmallows on top. Also tried a peach mocktail and asked them to add mezcal. Both cocktails were elevated and hand crafted. Other people in my party tried the Elevated Old Fashioned with Brush creek strait bourbon, angostura amaro, dry curacao, honey. Service was friendly and efficient, and everything came out quickly. It's a great spot for drinks with a view, light bites, or for a fun night on the town.

This rooftop bar is a great place to grab a drink with a view. There is cozy seating with fire pits. I went in January so it was chilly but they provided blankets. I got a hot drink which was a little on the sweet side for me but still enjoyable. I also got a small bite of grilled cheese a side soup which was enjoyable. The service was prompt and friendly. The view is the star for sure though.

Lucky to get a fireplace seat!

Such a nice atmosphere and vibe. Chloe is the best! Great service and recommendations! She was also so attentive and never made us feel rushed! First time and can't wait to come back! The views are clearly incredible and they have plenty of fireplaces and heat lamps around bar to make it enjoyable to sit outside on the rooftop in any temperature! Drinks were excellent! Highly recommend if both local or a tourist in the area!

Ryan B.

Loved the drinks. Prices are comparable to other options in the area and ambiance was great. Nicely lit at night with fire pits if the weather gets chilly. The chicken skewers were good as a snack and the server was nice and attentive. Definitely recommend!

I saw other reviews on Yelp showing how nice this place looked, and that really drew me here! It is located on the rooftop of the Meridian hotel. It was difficult to get up there since we weren't staying there and needed a room key to have the elevator move. Maybe there was a different way up and it was our error, but we had to stop at the 17th floor and walk the rest of the way up. We went at sunset, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I got tons of great pictures and had a great drink as well. I got the guava daiquiri, which was delicious, but expensive at $16, although that is what you can expect for such a nice place. My boyfriend had the elevated old fashioned, which he enjoyed. I noticed people with charcuterie boards as well, but we did not eat anything. Nice place for relaxing and socializing.

Mythili M.

The views are lovely. That's all. I ordered a $26 glass of red wine, a blend. Before ordering, I asked my server to tell me a little about the profile of the wine. She said "I'm not sure. I don't really drink wine." Ok? Can you tell me about it though? No? Then why is it on your menu? If you can't tell patrons about what you're serving then, you should probably stick to offering one option, call it a house red, and quit while you're ahead, like a dive bar does. Come for the view and leave immediately afterward. This is just a sports bar with nicer fixtures. Nothing more. Don't get your hopes up.

Cheers.

Ask the Community - 54thirty Rooftop

Are kids allowed?

I believe they aren't since it's a bar setting but I'm not sure.

How can I make a reservation for January 8th?

I believe you that this place is a first come first serve. I don't think they take reservations.

We are staying at the hotel with our 4 year old, is he allowed at the rooftop?

Hi Gloria - we allow children until 8pm. Die to weather we expect to close around 7pm this evening. Look forward to seeing you!

Is there a way I can make a reservation day of?

Trinidad, We currently do not accept RSVP's for the summer season, but operate on a first come, first served, waitlist that is established in person in the lobby of the Le… 

Is it kid friendly?

Not really, more of trendy millennial crowd type of place . If you stay in Le Meridien or AC, it is ok to bring the kids, otherwise, I don't think so

Closes at 8 or 10PM?

Closes 8 Monday to Thursday and 10 Friday to Sunday.

What months will you be closed?

Hi Monica - 54thirty is open through the end of the year, weather permitting. 54thirty will be closed January-March, 2021.

Is it open in December? What is it like in with the cold weather, worth the visit?

We are open everyday, until December 31st, weather permitting. Although 54thirty is open-air we have heated cabanas, overhead heaters and fireplaces to keep you cozy in colder weather! Definitely worth a visit.

How old do you have to be to get in?

21 and older after 6pm.

What is the parking situation like/options?

It's in a hotel in downtown so you can either valet, look for street parking or a parking garage.

Can you see fireworks from here for 4th?

The fireworks from Civic Center Park are visible from 54thirty but it's the personal fireworks over the wide front range that are truly a sight to behold!

Do they do sparklers in bottle service?

Hi Micah, we do not offer liquor bottle service. However, we do have AMAZING champagnes.

Is there a dress code?

No but it's definitely loungy! Dress up!

Is there a smoking section?

Not in the restaurant, you would have to exit to the first floor.

Other times I'm just in the mood for a cocktail that reminds me why I don't waste my time at places that think whiskey and cola is "craft." This visit was all about the cocktails, and Seven Grand absolutely delivered. Josh, our bartender, was running the room like a conductor leading an orchestra of happy whiskey drinkers. He asked what we liked, made a couple of recommendations for Old Fashioneds based on our preferences, and absolutely nailed it. Every drink was balanced, flavorful, and dangerously easy to sip. The guy knows his whiskey, knows his cocktails, and somehow still manages to make everyone at the bar feel like they're his only customer. The whiskey selection is enough to make a bourbon nerd lose all sense of financial responsibility, but surprisingly, we escaped without needing to refinance the house. If Josh doesn't own Seven Grand, someone should probably look into fixing that. Until then, I'll keep showing up to "try just one drink"... knowing full well that's a lie I tell myself every single time. Highly recommend. Just don't blame me when two hours mysteriously disappear.

They've gotten do much busier though. There must've been over 30 people at the bar getting drinks. But the 4 bartenders at the bar were slinging them out quickly. Even though they were fast the drinks were extremely well made and the customer service wad amazing. The ambiance was great!! Everyone was here to have a good time. But no one was overly rowdy or raucous. People were friendly and conversational but stayed in their lanes also. Even though all these years have passed. And the pandemic has ravaged many businesses. The quality and service here still makes this place one of the best whiskey bars around!!!

The music is good, mostly. But you may need to hop around as it can change so much. So, wander around, you might get lost, but you'll find you way again! (or just ask! ha) Not as great, the drinks are SO weak. It's a little ridic. If I'm paying $15 or whatever for one shot and soda, please let me taste the alcohol? Like, come on! I can buy a bottle for that. Just let me taste it. Bartenders can be hit or miss. I've had some totally cool ones and some really strange ones that seem to have personality issues. Not as much lately, though, just overall in the times I've come here over a few years. Maybe the current bar manager (who introduces themselves as such when you walk in) has got it whipped more into shape. Can you just tell them to include booze in drinks?!

Now the life of the party is lost like a chicken McNugget dropped in the ball pit of a McDonald's play place. What's left is a random collection of half-baked ideas by management with no understanding of a music scene whose ever-changing themes seem copied from the websites of clubs in Europe, or maybe, Alabama, who knows? Go upstairs and things are worse with a Janky wanna-be suburban gangsta DJ playing pre-recorded mixes from songs that were obviously ripped from YouTube, and shooting monopoly money from toy guns like an anamatronic rat at Chick E. Cheezy's. Anything that was truly edgy and cool has now been thrown out and replaced by pure neglect, promos slapped together by some AI they didn't even bother buying a subscription to--you know, the basic version which is completely on brand--reduced to a desperate cash grab. This is apparent as soon as you step over puddles of urine and walk in the door, and through the fake metal detector (and oh yeah, then over sand bags and puddles from sewer pipes that overflow because the owner is too cheap to invest in repairs or ensure customer safety), finally into a building that is in disrepair. Yeah, it's a vibe from a backwater dancehall in Khazakhstan but unintentionally, not so much as a place of entertainment. Almost everything, and I mean everything in the venue is old, outdated, or broken, from the ATM (you'd be crazy to trust that anyway) and arcade games, to the club rooms with broken, non-working club lights, and again pipes that drip and leak (you'll literally see buckets on the middle of the dance floor, and garbage bags draped over the DJ booths and the bar--and no, they don't sanitize after these accidents, evveeeer. The place is in disrepair and what used to be rooms with cool decor are now just generic and dirty looking as basic cleanliness is non-existent--the whole venue reeks the moment you walk in. Most worrisome is the lack of security (good luck finding anyone if you need help after you get past the door person) making the disorganized chaos feel unsafe and gross and anything but exciting. While Milk was once a cool and celebrated part of the Denver club scene up until a few years before the pandemic, the owner has obviously lost touch with reality and has no sense of loyalty to a clientele and commujity who made his clubs successful. But this has been a long time coming as Milk has been on the slow and steady decline for years. Over the last year the place has spiraled into a complete free fall with the last regular DJs pushed out and replaced by amateurs like the dude who needs a platform to stand on whose sets sound like a complication of greatest hits CDs played on random, with no theme or identity. The events and nights seem thrown together at the last minute, like you know splattered against the wall to see what will stick, but it's stinking instead. Its consistency, its soul, its relevance is gone. Most damning and reflective is the point several other reviewers have made about the vibe of sexism that exudes like the toxic masculinity that produces it from those who run this place as it's almost all male managers, DJs and bartenders, with a few women in the lowest, menial positions. And that obvious bias and grossness speaks volumes! My humble advice: save your night, your money, your self-respect and conscience choosing instead to support venues and spaces that actually know something about loyalty and principles other than greed and pettiness, which actually cares about and respects its patrons and customers.
