Whitewater Rooftop Social Experience

Canon City's newest rooftop destination with a 2,000 sq ft patio, river and train views, craft cocktails, and signature sandwiches in downtown.

Southern Colorado's Newest Rooftop

Whitewater Rooftop Social opened in spring 2024 and quickly became Canon City's must-visit dining destination. This locally-owned modern lounge occupies a striking two-story white building on Royal Gorge Blvd, right in the heart of downtown.

The Space

The 2,000 sq ft rooftop patio is the star attraction. Four garage doors open during spring and summer, flooding the space with Colorado sunshine. From your table, you can watch the train roll past and see the river in the distance—a perfect backdrop for toasting your Royal Gorge adventures.

Food & Cocktails

The menu focuses on elevated comfort food: signature sandwiches like the BLTA, caprese, chicken bacon ranch, and Italian hoagie. Shareables include meatballs with vodka sauce. But it's the craft cocktails that really shine—designed to complement the views and atmosphere.

The Vibe

The owners wanted a place that feels like Canon City—easygoing, outdoors-forward, and a little elevated. Whether you're celebrating after a day of rafting, enjoying date night, or gathering with friends, this rooftop delivers an experience you won't find anywhere else in the region.
