Elevated Rooftop Bar

Hey Fancy pants, oh you talking to me! I guess you are! Some co workers and I heard the rooftop here was top notch so we wanted to check it out!
Naturally, no one told us, that the rooftop pool and lounge was actually on the 7th floor, not the R button in the elevator.. so the next thing you know we are stuck walking flights of stairs down to the beautiful ground level bar!
The place is called Departure, and has an old school looking flying machine above the bar!
Yes fancy people drinking, fancy drinks all around the bar! Our waitress was super sweet and we told her about our attempt to get upstairs! So after she brought our round of drinks, she said she would get the manager to take us up to the "rooftop" bar himself.. Which was very sweet and wonderful service!

The drinks were great, (I had beer) but they are pricey! If you want to hang with fancy pants folks (I did see a women with red leather socks under her high heels?) you gotta pay the price!
Finally we did get up stairs to check out the outdoor bar thanks to the manager exclusive tour.. It was a beautiful view as you see downtown Denver in the distance, and during the day I guarantee this would be a legit view of the mountains!

There is a nice bar upstairs and a beautiful pool! The manager said they pride themselves on having some of the best bartenders in town and they even have a small basement bar that is reservation only!
I dig this place for sure, and would go back.. But next time I might see if someone else wants to get this round.. $$ :)

Absolutely lovely spot. Great vibes, and everyone is amazing. Special shout out to Bridgette- she was extra attentive, and made the experience that much more special.

Their cocktails are average. Views are great. Beetroot hummus is yummy. White wine sangria is very mediocre. Wines are good choice. Their champagne is very good. Best views, nice place to sit and hang out.

Honestly one of the best roof top bars I’ve been to ina long time. The management is extremely helpful. I had a problem with a tab and they cleared it right up. Can’t remember if the managers name was Ashley, but she is an excellent individual in this fantastic team

Great drinks and an awesome view of the Denver skyline. A good recommendation would be the Frosé. It's pretty strong, but it makes for a great summer drink. The service was great as well.

the food menu isn't very extensive, but the few little bites they have are yummy. its cute up there and has a nice view. go during sunset, its beautiful

Could not be happier! The experience is by far the best in Denver! I been searching for a roof top bar like this and I found it. Classy at its best!

Jessica and Rob and wonderful and very welcoming. Best roof top bar in Cherry Creek

Such a fun spot in Denver! It's a great place to watch the sunset!

Comfortable with a fun atmosphere!
