Best Dance Club for Seeing — and Being Seen

Rise is the perfect place to spot the bold and the beautiful — or to pretend to be bold and beautiful yourself. Since this bold and beautiful club opened last summer, a slew of movers and shakers have been eyeballed chilling on the patio’s preformed plastic couches, shaking it like a Polaroid on the spacious dance floor or having drinks in the upstairs VIP lounge. The Nuggets’ Carmelo Anthony even hosts a weekly party at Rise. And if Melo — who looks to be Mootown’s new John Elway — thinks it’s tight, that should tell you everything you need to know. If not, you’d better rise up and ask somebody.
