Two Restaurants · One Adventure
FUEL YOURADVENTURE
BBQ and cold beers after your river trip. Craft cocktails with mountain views to close the night. Canon City's two best restaurants — both ours.
BBQ, CRAFT BEER & FAMOUS MARGARITAS

GOOD TIMES GUARANTEED




The place where adventurers eat. Whitewater Bar & Grill has been Canon City's go-to spot for over a decade — famous for slow-smoked BBQ, ice-cold margaritas, and the kind of atmosphere that turns strangers into friends.
Whether you just came off the river or you're kicking off a big night out, this is where it happens. Live music on Saturdays, craft beer on tap, volleyball courts, and a menu built for hungry people. Burgers that'll ruin every other burger for you. Tacos that locals drive across town for. And a margarita that has its own fan club.
A Canon City favorite for over a decade. Family-friendly, dog-friendly, and adventure-ready. Open seasonally April 17 through October 31.

After the Adventure
ELEVATE YOUR EVENING
From the patio at Whitewater to the rooftop downtown — your adventure day ends with Canon City's finest cocktails and mountain views.
CRAFT COCKTAILS & MOUNTAIN VIEWS

2,000 SQFT ROOFTOP PATIO



Canon City's premier rooftop experience. Craft cocktails, creative small plates, and panoramic mountain views from a 2,000 square foot open-air rooftop patio in the heart of downtown.
Rooftop Social is where locals go for date night and where visitors discover Canon City has a seriously good food scene. Our bartenders craft cocktails with premium spirits and fresh ingredients — Colorado whiskey flights, house-infused syrups, and a cocktail menu that changes with the seasons.
The food matches the drinks. Think burrata with pistachio and balsamic, poke dip with crispy wontons, green chile artichoke dip, and elevated sandwiches that redefine what a rooftop bar can serve. Pair it all with a mountain sunset and you've got the best evening in the Royal Gorge region.
