This rooftop bar might be one of the best ones I've been to in Denver if it's not the best.
Located atop of Jacquard Hotel in the heart of Cherry Creek shopping district, this chic hotel has another restaurant on the first floor which I've been to in the past. Kisbee On The Roof is not only for the guests who are staying at the hotel, non-guests can enjoy it for a romantic date night or even a group of friends for happy hour.
It appears that you can make a reservation (not sure what the requirements are however), my friend arrived a little before me so he secured two bar seats for us right at the so-called peak time of 6:30pm/6:45pm window on a beautiful Friday night.
You can see the whole Denver: to the southwest there is the lush Wash Park area and to the northwest, downtown. Some people left a review saying that this rooftop can be hot during the summer months but we got lucky by having occasional appearances of the sun between the moving clouds.
The lady at the bar was super attentive to our needs. I asked her about the French Rose which caught my attention on the menu
(2021 Peyrassol La Croix.) I'm more of a red wine person but on a beautiful Friday evening in its upper 70/lower 80-degree temperature, I wanted something refreshing. I was wondering about the overall sweetness of it so I asked her to see if it was worth a try. She then kindly gave me more than a sip size of pour for me to try it first. I appreciate this kind of generosity. There is/was a bit of sweetness but it's mostly dry. Nicely chilled at the right temperature, this was exactly what I needed to enjoy the exquisite ambience that surrounded us at the poolside bar.
For food to munch, we ordered Mediterranean Dip Trio. This is a good portion. And we enjoyed it tremendously! I was super hungry but between the two adults, this fed us pretty well. The plate contains honey-whipped feta dip, traditional hummus and white bean & piquillo pepper hummus with sides of rainbow carrots (cut long and skinny), pieces of triangle-shaped pita bread and potato chips (kettle cooked). All dips entertained our palates.
I can see that this place can get super crowded although it's a decent size so like I said, call them to inquire about the reservation requirements. Also, definitely utilize the valet parking at the hotel because if you dine at the restaurants, they will validate your valet ticket so your parking will be free. This is a nice system as well!
