How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone needs a low-pressure venue for a first meeting. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of cafe-type venues in Denver. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Denver venues are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 598 venues in Denver that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 16 have Wi-Fi recorded and 39 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Denver venues have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, Linger Restaurant, Starbucks, Ultreia, Perdida and The Corner Beet all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these venues stay open late?

Miya Moon, Linger Restaurant, Kona Grill, Henry's Tavern and Little India are open until 11pm or later on at least one day of the week, according to the opening hours published in OpenStreetMap.

Which of these venues are step-free?

The Goods Neighborhood Kitchen and Bar, Bang Up To The Elephant, The Kitchen Denver, Linger Restaurant and The Ponti are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - outdoor seating, takes reservations, opening hours published, non-smoking indoors, no live music - easier to talk - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
