Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you have to stay in every night to avoid the winter chill. You just need to find a cozy and warm atmosphere. What’s cozier than a fireplace restaurant on a cold winter night? Denver has several restaurants and bars where you can get comfy and warm by the fire; check them out!
Rhein Haus
Cozy up at the Rhein Haus on Market Street for German inspired food and beer. Enjoy giant pretzels, bratwurst or a smorgasbord to share with your party. Don’t forget the full list of 24 German beers and local drafts to go along with your meal.
You can enjoy all of this while sitting and relaxing by one of several fireplaces. One of the fireplaces at Rhein Haus is hand-carved and salvaged from a Bavarian castle. The Rhein Haus is also home to a Philippine fireplace from Brussels. If you were looking for a more active night out, take advantage of one of four bocce courts the Rhein Haus has to offer. You can reserve a court Sunday-Thursday while it’s walk-in availability only Friday and Saturday. The Rhein Haus serves dinner every day of the week and brunch on the weekends.
