http://www.3kingstavern.com First it was Zu Denver, then 60 South, then the South Park Tavern, then the Cherry Pit. Then it was a vacant, smoldering hole. But in January this year, months after a fire demolished the insides of the Pit, the 3 Kings Tavern rose, phoenix-like, from the...well, you get the picture. What no one really expected, though, was for someone to pump some real life and character back into the room. But co-owners Jim Norris, Jeff Campbell and Martin Kilorin, along with promoter and soundman Ross McAfee, have done exactly that. With a punk/rock/metal bent that perfectly complements the rest of SoBo's varied hipster establishments, 3 Kings offers enough great sound and cheap drinks to carve something special out of Denver's crowded club scene.

http://www.aggietheatre.com Fort Collins's biggest live-music hall is a converted movie theater retrofitted with two bars. The Aggie sports a broad, multi-leveled floor that ensures a good view from anywhere, although a brutal chain-link fence separates the aged from the under-aged. More >>

http://www.aqualoungedenver.com Talk about your 180s: The Mozart Lounge long held a place in the hearts of dive-bar diehards, serving cheap, early-morning beers to workers just off the job at nearby hospitals and late-night cocktails to the riff-raff and bikers who might grace those same med centers later in the evening. But now the space has been completely reinvented by the owners of the Barker Lounge as a slick, H2O-themed cocktail lounge, complete with sleek leather furniture, live entertainment, a VIP area and dim lighting. It might seem a little out of place on a block sandwiched between Colfax and one of the busiest King Soopers in the state, but Aqua Lounge is making it work. And even those Mozart regulars might be lured back by the four-hour happy hour Aqua offers each day, plus the karaoke on Thursdays and pianists on Fridays and Saturdays. More >>

The crowd reflects the folksy, friendly vibe of the music calendar: lots of bluegrass acts, country, jam bands, rock, acoustic guitarists/singers and a solid open mic night. More >>

Bringing in at least three or four shows a week, the 450-person spot is one of the main medium-sized live-music venues in the Springs to host both local and nationally known punk, metal, rock and hip-hop acts.

http://www.bluebirdtheater.net The Bluebird Theater started hosting live music in 1994, and it didn't take long for the theater, built in 1913, to become one of the city's best midsized venues. With sculpted capitals, restored Victorian-style paintings and a vaulted ceiling, the place is as much a work of art as any of the touring and local bands that grace its stage. The marquee regularly lights up Colfax with some of the most important names in independent music, as well as lauded locals ready to make the leap from clubs to a bigger stage. In 2006, AEG Live took over the room and made significant upgrades to the production aspects of the place. More >>

http://www.bouldertheater.com The Boulder Theater is not the kind of place you go to get loaded on cheap beer and talk through a performance. Audiences in the palatial, art-deco-style hall come to actually listen to music, and for good reason: The historic theater's schedule is so well-rounded, there really is something for everyone. An eclectic mix of funk, jazz, hip-hop and rock performances and dynamic high-concept shows from local and national artists help fill the Boulder nights. This lovely, historic space offers as much for your eyes as it does for your ears. More >>
