A standing Thursday night French happy hour that floats between Denver's patios and wine bars in RiNo/Highlands, with the venue rotating weekly.
L'Apero de Denver is back this Thursday, October 15, at 7 PM. It's a French happy hour that floats between Denver's patios and wine bars in RiNo and the Highlands, and the venue rotates every week. Past spots have included Forest Room 5, Improper City, and Barcelona Wine Bar, so the location changes depending on when you drop in.
The whole thing is built around the idea of a standing Thursday night apero. The organizers describe it as having French happy hour energy—wine in hand and zero pretension—and it's designed to land you in a WhatsApp group where you can practice your French over a drink with a crowd that's fun and skews young. If you've been looking for a low-stakes way to get some conversation in, this is a good place to start.

Because it's a rotating event, the venue changes from week to week, and it stays within the RiNo and Highlands area. It's a standing tradition rather than a one-off, so if you miss this one, there'll be another one soon after. It kicks off at 7 PM on Thursday, October 15.
