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.coclubs.com City Hall is part of the SoCo (South of Colfax) nightlife district, which also controls Funky Buddha, Milk and Vinyl, among others. City Hall, though, operates as more of an events venue and less of a nightclub. Although the large, outdoor space hosts an occasional rave, it is far more likely to be the location for a special, eclectic event, anything from a politician's election party to a film screening where patrons can view their favorite movie under the stars.

http://www.cubacubacafe.com Cuba Cuba occupies two conjoined Victorian homes deep in the Golden Triangle - but at its heart, this spot could be smack-dab in Havana. Owner Kristy Socarras Bigelow is a first-generation Cuban-American whose mother fled Castro's revolution for Miami in 1959. Bigelow has re-created her mother's homeland here, in a colorful space that serves muy authentic (and meat-focused) Cuban dishes in the homey dining room. The bright front bar shimmers with activity, from a killer mojito happy hour Monday through Thursday to the last drink of the evening for SoCo club-hoppers. And while, yes, this can sometimes make for a maddening wait, it's totally worth it once a seat has been procured and the plates of plantains, lechon asada and Cuban sandwiches start arriving. And if you must have something to occupy yourself while you wait, Cuba Cuba's bartenders make some of the best, most powerful mojitos in the city. This is as close to Cuba as you can get without boarding a plane - and no visa required. More >>
http://www.livenation.com Built in 1907 as the Mammoth Roller Rink, the Fillmore Auditorium has a long and storied history as an entertainment venue. As Mammoth Gardens and Mammoth Events Center, the building hosted sporting events, parties and shows for more than six decades. After a multimillion-dollar renovation in 1999, the venue reopened as the Fillmore -- with decor reminiscent of Bill Graham's famous Fillmore in San Francisco -- and has hosted countless renowned musical acts, including Bob Dylan, David Bowie and Coldplay.

http://www.myspace.com/gypsy_housecafe Put this in your pipe and smoke it: If you like your coffee strong and the atmosphere in which you drink it just as pungent, head for Gypsy House Cafe. The specialty here is Turkish coffee, which is a leap for the Starbucks connoisseur, but it's well worth the plunge. The food is good, the wi-fi is free -- and they'll hook you up with just the right tobacco for your hookah. More >>
http://www.myspace.com/lionslairdenver Small and curiously laid out -- a huge bar takes up more than half the room -- the Lion's Lair has been a Denver rock-and-roll institution since the spot (once a jazz club where Dexter Gordon and Billie Holiday played) started hosting live music in 1991. Local punk, rock and garage bands are most likely to be found on the elevated stage, though hot touring acts such as John Doe, Jonathan Richman and Graham Parker sometimes pack the place, which holds about a hundred people. Regulars drop by for cheap draft beer and the company of an occasionally crusty clientele. More >>
http://www.ogdentheater.net Built in 1919 by the same person who designed the Bluebird Theater, the Ogden Theatre has gone through a few incarnations since then, including being home to vaudeville acts before becoming a movie theater in 1937. In the early '90s, Doug Kauffman of Nobody in Particular Presents turned it into a music venue. In recent years, the place, which is now being operated by AEG Live, received a major upgrade, including new flooring, a new sound system and a wraparound balcony, making it one of Denver's premier venues for national acts.

http://www.quixotes.com Live bands stake out Sancho's Broken Arrow on Mondays, but jukebox jockeys normally take care of the music. The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix and more modern jammers are house favorites in this tie-dyed hippie hangout. The place is packed before and after shows at the Fillmore Auditorium next door; otherwise, the vibe is easygoing, roomy and kind. More >>
http://www.skylarklounge.com Regulars at the Skylark Lounge know what a difference a couple of blocks can make: not much. The stalwart watering hole moved in 2003 from its sixty-year home at 58 South Broadway to roomier digs at 140 South, but the revered smoky atmosphere was carefully transferred, along with the pinups and classic Western and sci-fi movie posters that still hang over maroon booths. In fact, there's just more of everything we loved from the old place: more live bands, more parking, and more swaying room -- whether in time with the music or as a result of those generous 'Lark libations. Just don't ask to see the martini specials: The Skylark is for drinkers and dancers, not trendy scenesters. We'll drink to that. More >>
http://www.twistandshout.com If Twist & Shout heralds the end of the record store as we know it, well, we feel fine. With the advent of digital music files, most record stores are vanishing from the commercial landscape. But rather than passively wait for its demise, Paul and Jill Epstein are raging against the dying of the light. The sprawling Twist & Shout -- relocated in 2006 from its former home on Alameda to the Lowenstein Center on East Colfax -- brings together CDs, DVDs, vinyl, books and rock-era paraphernalia of every description in an enormous yet wonderfully warm space that consumers won’t want to leave. It’s as fine a place to shop for music as any in America, not to mention a terrific venue in which to hear special shows by touring performers. And with a roster that changes monthly, the store's Local Listening Post is a smart way to keep up with the music being made by the people in your neighborhood. More >>
http://www.coclubs.com This basement club is all about the music, which reverberates off the concrete floor. The sparsely furnished Two AM treats decor almost as an afterthought; the sheer wall coverings and translucent art tapestries are functional as well as ornamental. And the lighting's kept low, so you can easily hook up to the DJ's vibe and keep that 2 a.m. state of mind. More >>
http://www.coclubs.com Vinyl is a four-story behemoth of a dance club, with three floors all featuring different music (including house, electronica, hip-hop, R&B and Top 40) and an uber-swanky lounge for those who just want to chill and have a drink. The club brings in national hip-hop acts on Fridays and internationally known DJs on Saturdays. Vinyl's rooftop patio offers some great views of Denver's skyline. More >>
