Guard and Grace is a sophisticated steakhouse with a modern ambiance. We love their top-tier service and personal touch from the staff. They have multiple refined private rooms, with our personal favorite being the intimate and bright Grace Room for 18 (which can be combined with the Jagger Room to seat up to 53 guests)! This is one of the best downtown Denver private dining rooms, and it works perfectly for corporate dinners or special celebrations.
Luca is a high-end Italian restaurant on Capitol Hill, with a stylish interior and rustic yet refined menu. This is a neighborhood favorite because you feel taken care of by friendly servers, and the menu never disappoints, no matter how it changes with the seasons. They have an intimate private dining space for up to 18 guests, as well as a semi-private main dining room for up to 40. These refined spaces are great for corporate dinners and anniversary parties.
Mercantile is serving up a farm-to-table dining experience in an industrial-chic space. Every meal here feels like an event, with the evolving menu repeatedly hitting it out of the park, and the servers being knowledgeable and attentive. You can book a semi–private event for up to 20 in the bar and market area, which is a lot of fun because you still get the energy of the clientele without being overwhelmed by the noise. The semi-private dining area is ideal for intimate gatherings or corporate luncheons.
Mister Oso is a colorful Latin restaurant, known for its juicy tacos and the adorable bear glasses in which they serve the delightfully strong frozen margs in. This is often the first restaurant I send friends visiting Denver to when they arrive off the plane and need to refuel and seize the day. If you want to enjoy a meal with a big group at this hotspot, booking the private room is wise because the main dining room is almost always packed and bumping! This is a great private dining room for family celebrations, reunions, and birthdays.
Red Square Bistro is a whimsical restaurant serving up sophisticated European fare. Guests rave about the vodka infusion shots here, and with a bar stacked with over 100 vodka brands, it makes sense that it’s their speciality. Their semi-private dining space allows some of the sounds of the lively private dining room while still giving your group the comforting feeling of being tucked away from the hubbub. This is a great spot for a team-building dinner or boozy birthday party.
Rioja is inspired by the flavors of the Mediterranean serving up their dishes in a stylish, contemporary setting. When you peruse the menu, you see the spirit of innovation and hospitality everywhere in their cooking and curation. We love the semi-private dining space here— the decor is both classy and whimsical, and the service is always impeccable! The private dining rooms have an elegant atmosphere, perfect for intimate dinners or corporate events.
Table 6 is serving up high-brow twists on New American classics to satisfied customers. The reliable menu, warm service, and dessert menu keep us coming back for more. The private room here is light, bright, and intimate, and you will be given the choice between ordering the seasonal menu for your guest or creating something custom! This cozy private room is great for a laid-back birthday celebration or a casual team building dinner.
Temaki Den is a vibrant Japanese restaurant that specializes in innovative sushi rolls. Sushi lovers flock here to enjoy temaki, nigiri, and omakase, resplendent with fresh fish and bold umami flavors. Guests in the private room are partitioned off from the rest of the restaurant and treated to a stylish, long dining space where everyone can sit together and talk. This private party room has a lively atmosphere, making it perfect for group dining or birthday celebrations.

Denver restaurants with private rooms offer exclusive spaces within their establishments for intimate gatherings, corporate events, or special celebrations. These private dining rooms provide seclusion, allowing guests to enjoy personalized service, tailored menus, and a unique atmosphere away from the main dining area. From upscale to casual settings, these venues cater to various group sizes and offer diverse cuisines to suit every palate.
Semi-private spaces are ideal for small, intimate gatherings when total privacy isn’t required. Large private dining rooms or full buyouts are more common for big parties and receptions. So what’s better depends on the vibe you’re going for. For small groups and lively energy, go with semi-private. For large groups and more exclusivity, go with a private room.
The cost of a private dining room in Denver can range widely, typically from $50–$100 per person on the low end and $300–$400 per person on the high end (at Michelin restaurants or when booking on peak dates). It all depends on the venue, location, time of day, and group size. Some venues may charge a room fee, while others may include food and beverage minimums. And don’t forget that gratuity, service fees, and tax can add 30% or more to the final price. It’s best to discuss your budget and needs with the restaurant to get an accurate quote.
That’s a big part of why organizers love our Interactive Meals: we make pricing simple and straightforward. Our all-inclusive per-person price means there are no surprise fees or charges along the way. This price guarantees you a delicious four-course meal, three perfectly-paired alcoholic or N/A beverages, three unique activities, and an expert Avital host to take care of everything.
Traditional dinners are boring. Avital Experiences are awesome! Highlights include:
More Opportunity to Mingle – Guests get up from their seats to mix and mingle, creating a more dynamic atmosphere and more authentic connection.
Hosted Experience – An expert Avital Emcee facilitates the event, so the organizer can relax and enjoy the experience without having to manage it.
Venue Selection & Turnkey Booking – Avital coordinates with the restaurant to find the perfect venue for your group and handles all of the logistics, so you can just show up on the day of the event.
Dietary Restrictions – Avital takes care of all dietary needs, ensuring everyone is included and cared for.
Simplified Pricing – Unlike traditional private dining, which is convoluted with minimums and gratuity, Avital offers clear and easy-to-understand pricing per person.
Branded Opportunities – Customize materials, including menus and cocktail recipes, to reflect your brand. Great for client entertainment dinners.
Many Denver restaurants can accommodate dietary restrictions with enough notice, especially more common restrictions like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergies. Always check in advance because private dining menus are often set or prix-fixe, and restrictions reported during the meal may not be able to be accommodated. The rule is that earlier communication = a better guest experience when it comes to dietary restrictions.
At Avital we can accommodate all dietary restrictions. You’ll be asked to provide guest restrictions during booking, then we’ll take it from there!
For weekends and holidays, you should book 8–12 weeks in advance. For weekdays, book 4–6 weeks in advance. Also, bigger events or events with specific needs should book as early as possible.
Yes, most private dining rooms do require a deposit. It may be in the form of a flat amount or a percentage of the minimum spend. This deposit is often non-refundable, so be sure you’re highly confident you’re going to proceed with the restaurant you put down a deposit with.
Private dining events typically last 3-4 hours. If you’re looking to book a larger time block, it may cost extra. Always confirm timing in advance with the restaurant.
If you’re looking for a more interactive and engaging private dining experience, consider booking Avital’s Denver Interactive Meal. It’s your meal and activity all in one and works perfectly for team building events, celebrations, reunions, and more!
