When it comes to happy hours, Denver has its fair share, normally its the same watered down drinks and greasy appetizers you find. While known for their big bowls of comforting and slurp-worthy ramen noodles, Glo Noodle House (4450 W 38th Ave #130, Denver, CO 80212), the Asian-inspired Highland hangout from industry vets and husband and wife duo Christopher and Ariana Tiegland are also serving up some pretty serious sips and bites on their new daily happy hour menu offered from 4 – 6 pm throughout the restaurant and pup-friendly patio. Overlooked by the many overpriced options on Tennyson street, GLO delivers one of the best.

From specialized delicious drinks, to classic asian inspired bites, GLO makes it affordable for just about anybody. The “Ball Out” Special is a must, you get two amazing skewers from chicken/chili to an array of rotating options, two bao buns (try their brisket), and two temaki of your choice all for merely $30.

The real stars of the happy hour menu are the cocktails. Created by Glo’s beverage director and co-owner, Ariana Tiegland, boast some impressively creative cocktails like the Still Walking, made with a house tonic (a multi-day process) infused with Japanese botanicals like shiso, yuzu, sakura blossoms and kome shochu or the Lady Eboshi a cocktail as delicious as it is beautiful, made with strawberry, white rum, sweet red bean and nirogi sake. There’s also the Fireworks, a sipper for the season, made with mezcal, yuzo kosho, spicy serrano and fresh citrus, along with a variety of highballs, a traditional cocktail to the Japanese culture, featuring a spirit and citrus with a daily special based on what’s in season.
