Irene Glazer:Forest Room 5in the Denver Highlands is one of my favs. This oldie but goodie nestles their patio amongst their sweet little yard.

Jana Miller:Brazen's patio and food make a killer combo in Denver's West Highlands. They're open for sunny brunches as well as late night for those upcoming hot summer nights. Tie up the dog in the cool grass and enjoy small plates, wines by the glass and a view of the original Elitch Gardens carousel.
