ViewHouse Ballpark
Rooftop with a real look at Coors Field, 35 taps, yard downstairs
A three-story bar and eatery a three-minute walk from Coors Field, with a rooftop that actually faces the stadium and a large outdoor yard on the ground floor for lawn games and big groups. Thirty-five local taps, a long house cocktail list, food running to burgers and tacos. It is the loud, obvious choice before or after a Rockies game, and it handles that volume better than the smaller bars up on Larimer.
Why go. A rooftop with a genuine view of the field, which almost nothing else here has.
The rooftop is first come, first served on game days; get there about two hours before first pitch.
