Christmas Bars in Denver 2021

Christmas is the most magical time of year. All of the lights make cities sparkle, and when the snow starts falling, places like Denver, Colorado, become perfect little snow globe towns. Christmas is coming up soon, and it’s time to celebrate! 
​
Every year, restaurants and bars transform into holiday-themed party places with specialty cocktails and menus made just for the Christmas season. Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like sipping egg nog out of a T-Rex Santa mug.

​Here is a list of bars in Denver that have decorated, dressed up, and gone all-out for the 2021 season:

Adrift - 218 S. Broadway

Denver’s local tiki bar has changed to SNOWDRIFT this year with Christmas lights around the palm trees and tiki statues. Sip on fun tropical Christmas drinks like the Rum Rum Rudolph and say “Mele Kalikimaka” at Adrift. See more, here!
