El Five sits on the fifth floor of a building on Umatilla Street with an open-air terrace overlooking downtown Denver and an indoor dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows. The space blends outdoor and covered areas, giving guests different ways to experience the rooftop.
The venue opened as part of the Edible Beats restaurant group's expansion into elevated dining and was designed to take advantage of Denver's high-altitude setting. The opening marked the group's focus on new concepts for dining with a view.
The restaurant honors Mediterranean culinary traditions through a menu featuring Spanish, North African, and Middle Eastern influences, encouraging shared meals where guests pass around small plates and paella dishes. The setting invites people to gather and enjoy food together in a social way.
The venue operates at different hours depending on the day of the week, remaining open both on weekdays and weekends. Reservations are especially recommended if you want to secure a spot on the terrace.
The venue serves gin tonics in traditional Spanish-style large balloon glasses that are striking and distinctive. Guests can also watch from a chef's counter as the kitchen prepares Mediterranean dishes while taking in the city views.
