Whitewater Rooftop Social

Canon City's Modern Rooftop Destination

Whitewater Rooftop Social opened in spring 2024 as Canon City's newest gathering spot. This locally-owned modern lounge occupies a striking two-story white building on Royal Gorge Blvd, with a massive 2,000 sq ft rooftop patio that captures the essence of what makes Canon City special.

The Space

Four garage doors open during spring and summer, flooding the space with Colorado sunshine. From the rooftop, you can see the train rolling past and the river in the distance—the perfect backdrop for celebrating after a day of Royal Gorge adventures. The design feels easygoing and outdoors-forward, just like Canon City itself.

Food & Cocktails

The menu centers on signature sandwiches—BLTA, caprese, chicken bacon ranch, Italian hoagie—alongside shareables like meatballs with vodka sauce. Craft cocktails are the specialty, designed to toast the view and celebrate wins big and small. Check the full menu online.

Events & Live Music

The rooftop hosts live music nights and themed events throughout the season. Check their events calendar for upcoming happenings.
