About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1720 Pearl St Parking facility is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking lot located in the vibrant Uptown (North Capitol Hill) neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. Positioned on the east side of Pearl Street between East 17th Avenue and East 18th Avenue, this lot offers simple, self-park drive-in access for daily visitors, neighborhood diners, and commuters. Because this is an open-air surface lot without an overhead deck or low-hanging clearance beams, it features unrestricted vertical headroom, making it exceptionally well-suited for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, conversion vans, roof-rack-equipped vehicles, and standard passenger cars alike.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When arriving during peak Friday and Saturday evening dinner rushes, spaces can fill up briskly; plan to arrive by 6:00 PM to secure prime spots.
