The 5 Best Late-Night Scenes Around Grand County

When the sun dips behind the Rockies, the fun doesn’t stop — it just shifts gears. Across the U.S., nightlife accounts for more than $20 billion annually in entertainment spending, proof that people love a good excuse to stay out after dark. In Grand County, late-night energy is equal parts mountain casual and big-city cool. Featured in the Best of Grand, these spots keep the lights glowing and the good times rolling long after sunset.

Devil's Craft

Devil’s Craft is the kind of venue that checks every late-night box. With craft drinks, hearty food, and a stage for live music, it’s where Winter Park locals and visitors alike wind down — or wind up — depending on the night. The vibe mixes ski-town camaraderie with a touch of edge, making it as much about community as cocktails.

Fisher's Bar

A Fraser favorite, Fisher’s Bar has been pouring drinks and serving up classic bar fare for decades. Its late-night appeal lies in its come-as-you-are atmosphere — no frills, just good drinks, friendly faces, and plenty of character. For those who prefer their nightlife laid-back, Fisher’s delivers every time.

The Foundry Cinema & Bowl

The Foundry isn’t just family-friendly by day — it’s also a lively late-night option. Couples on date night or groups of friends can catch a movie, bowl into the evening, and linger over food and drinks. Its versatility makes it a rare venue where “going out” can mean several things at once.

Alchemy Pizza

Pizza is often the unsung hero of late-night culture, and Alchemy Pizza in Winter Park takes it seriously. Known for wood-fired pies with creative toppings, the restaurant keeps the ovens hot for those craving a midnight slice. It’s both a pit stop for the hungry and a hangout for anyone who wants to stretch the night just a little longer.

At The Birdie Lounge, nightlife gets a modern twist.
