The Best Photo Booths in Denver

Denver has no shortage of places where you can document your night out, but a true photo booth still feels like an anomaly in a world dominated by digital snapshots.

“When we got started in 2012, there were three cool photobooths in town: Sputnik, Lost Lake and Lucky Strike,” says Vince Dressel, who restores all of Colorado’s photobooths. “They were all usually out of order, and there was no photobooth culture in Denver. I wanted to create something like in other metropolitan cities with photobooths all over. You won’t find screens in our 39 booths (except for our two oldest ones). Screens are too easy and have no style … we care about great portraits, privacy and the analog experience — even in our digital booths.”

These twelve spots span bars, venues and neighborhood hangouts across the city — each offering its own version of analog charm and a memorable way to capture a moment.

Stanley Marketplace
2501 Dallas Street, Aurora
Vintage-style photo strips are having a big moment right now. For the perfect shot, look no farther than Stanley Marketplace, our Best Photo Booth in the Best of Denver 2026. Located on the second floor of the mixed-use urban marketplace, the unassuming photo booth provides sharp, high-contrast black-and-white portraits with a cute retro background. The pictures that result are higher quality and more flattering than those from any other photo booth we’ve tried in the metro. So stop by the Stanley to grab a new Instagram profile picture, and check out one of the dozens of local restaurants and businesses while you’re there.

Mutiny Information Cafe
3483 South Broadway, Englewood
Mutiny’s iconic photo booth isn’t a novelty; it’s a relic. One of four analog booths in Colorado, the machine dates back to the 1950s and still produces stark black-and-white strips that somehow make everyone look incredible. The key is patience — this booth takes its time, echoing an era when photography wasn’t instant or disposable. The wait becomes part of the experience, and the payoff is consistently beautiful.

TrashHawk Tavern
1539 South Broadway
In just four years, this watering hole has become a neighborhood favorite known for its divey vibes, cheap drinks and a lineup of events that range from trivia and bluegrass jam sessions to drag shows and euchre tournaments. Oh, and don’t forget about the free hot dogs and Jello shots and enthusiastic respect for Malört. But recently, our reigning 2026 Best of Denver winner for Best Place to Get Trashed got even better with the addition of a digital retro photo booth from Photo Bang. “This one was built ten years ago in a home garage in the middle of winter,” the company says. “We pulled it from a business that no longer deserved it, and it lived at our shop as a testing booth for a spell. After a brief facelift, it looks like new again and takes soft, more analog-looking photos and prints out two copies on matte strips.”

Sputnik
3 South Broadway
Sputnik pairs its punk-leaning personality with a photo booth that’s equally unfussy. The restaurant’s film booth produces results that lean delightfully chaotic — the kind of imperfect moments that feel more honest than posed. This retro analog setup is one of Denver’s most beloved and should be on the list of any photo strip collector.

Hi-Dive
7 South Broadway
Hi-Dive’s photo booth feels like a tiny landmark inside an already unmistakably cool venue. Its exterior is covered in years of photo strips — a living collage of blurry grins, post-show adrenaline and late-night bravado. Inside, the booth shoots in full color, capturing the venue’s raw, earnest energy without polishing away its character. Musicians and regulars have packed into it for years, leaving behind a visual history that could fill a book.

The Colorado Photographic Arts Center
1200 Lincoln Street, #111
The Colorado Photographic Arts Center is home to one of the state’s rarest gems: a fully restored 1960s photo booth, now transformed with a touch of David Bowie flair. As Colorado’s third functioning analog booth, it’s a true treasure tucked inside an already impressive (and free) photography gallery. The staff is genuinely delighted when people stop by just to use the booth, making it one of the most welcoming and creatively charged spots in the city for a strip of analog magic.

Gold Point
3126 Larimer Street
Gold Point is one of those places where the photo booth feels almost foundational — as if the bar was built around it. The black and white prints match the warm, amber-lit atmosphere, giving each strip a soft, easy glow. It’s perfect for small groups or the “we never take photos together, do we?” couples who finally decide to document the night.

The Squire Lounge
1800 East Colfax Avenue
The Squire Lounge’s photo booth fits right in with the bar’s reputation: unapologetically divey and proudly unvarnished. Tucked into the neon-lit hum, it spits out stark black-and-white strips that make every moment look a little more cinematic than it felt. Slip in between cheap beers and live sets, and you’ll walk away with a souvenir that feels like a slice of old-school Colfax — unpolished in the best way.

Front Porch
1215 15th Street
Front Porch is famous for its rotating “your name drinks free” board, but the photo booth is just as strong a draw. It produces bright, clean strips with enough punch to hold up on a fridge for years. It’s one of the few LoDo booths that doesn’t feel like an afterthought — a small but welcome surprise.

Mission Ballroom
4242 Wynkoop Street
At Mission Ballroom, head upstairs to find a perfect keepsake from your night. The booth’s crisp digital prints contrast nicely with the venue’s haze of lights, sound, and movement. Whether you’re sweaty, exhilarated, or still half-deaf from the encore, the booth captures that post-show glow exactly as it is.

American Bonded
2706 Larimer Street
American Bonded’s cozy booth was restored from 1968 and is ideal for squeezing in a group of friends who never manage to get a good photo together. It’s perfectly placed for a quick break from the dance floor before heading back out. The lighting is bright, the images are crisp, and the resulting strips feel like the kind you keep tucked in a wallet long after the night ends.

Emerald Eye
1403 Larimer Street
Emerald Eye keeps its photo booth tucked inside its leafy, jungle-like interior. It’s ideal for the “we should grab a strip before we leave” moment that always seems to strike here. The rosy, slightly cinematic lighting flatters everyone, making this booth perfect for cozy couple photos and last-minute keepsakes.
