El Five occupies the fifth floor of a LoHi warehouse conversion with panoramic views of downtown Denver and the Front Range that have made it one of the most-photographed happy hour spots in the city. The Edible Beats concept spans Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors — house-made arancini, excellent spritz cocktails — and the outdoor rooftop at golden hour, with the snowcapped Rockies blazing behind the city skyline, is a view that demands a proper drink.
