The main attractions at Barricuda’s, a quintessential neighborhood bar, are the prices and the atmosphere, which is laid-back and friendly. The food is greasy-spoon and the menu is expansive for a bar; there are plenty of vegetarian options, and the Sunday brunch is popular and offers just the right type of breakfast spread for fighting […]
Music in Denver
Showing 45 - 66 of 592Once home to both O.P. Baur Confectionery Company (in the late 1800s) and Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar (in the early 2010s), the building at 1512 Curtis Street has a long history. In spring 2015, the Baur’s name got a reboot with Baur’s Restaurant and Listening Lounge, a multi-concept restaurant and music venue that […]
In early 2022, Robert Champion and Mario Nocifera debuted a dance bar/immersive venue inspired by Tulum and Burning Man in the heart of RiNo, and it’s become a late-night haven. The space includes several hubs created by a core crew of a dozen local artists, including a beehive-themed geodesic dome, a garden-like outdoor space, and […]
From the outside, the Beer Depot Lounge might look a little sketchy, but this 38th Avenue dive is fairly clean and respectable inside. The friendly joint has its share of locals and regulars, who come for cheap drinks and drink specials, free pool, shuffleboard, live music, karaoke and occasional free bar food.
After five years as the Wells Fargo Theatre, the 5,000-seat theater at the Colorado Convention Center was renamed the Bellco Theatre near the end of 2012. The venue is one of the most technically advanced theaters of its kind and offers outstanding acoustics for concerts, lectures, general sessions and family spectaculars.

Since opening in 2005, the Belly Up has become Aspen’s premier spot for live music. With a steady stream of national and world-renowned acts that usually play for thousands of people, the intimate venue, with a capacity of 450, offers a rare chance to see bands like Jane’s Addiction, the Flaming Lips, Wu-Tang Clan, B.B. […]
Part of the trio of bars forming the “Beermuda Triangle” at the corner of 38th and Tennyson, the Berkeley Inn is a neighborhood institution. The joint opened in 1934 and is rumored to have subterranean tunnels made for transporting bootleg alcohol during Prohibition. Regulars band together to help out other regulars in times of need, […]
It’s not the state-of-the-art sound system, the primo location in LoDo or the crowds of beautiful people that make Beta Denver’s best dance club (though none of that hurts). No, it’s the high-caliber talent the place brings in week after week. Beta has hosted a cavalcade of talent that reads like a who’s who of […]
How do you know when you’re in Big Trouble? Just ascend the sweeping wooden staircase until you see a sign that reads “You’re in Big Trouble.” This mezzanine-level bar is Kiss + Ride’s more upscale counterpart, boasting an Asian-alley theme and some almost futuristic drink options. The highball, for example, is served from a Suntory […]
Cocktail culture has thoroughly inundated America, but in 2011, when Boulder’s Bitter Bar opened as the late-night speakeasy alter-ego of the now-defunct Happy Noodle House, there was no other game like it in metro Denver. Bartender James Lee built a quick following with his precise drinks – be they long-forgotten classics or inventive creations – […]
The dual-room venue is fully equipped with powerful, state-of-the-art Basscouch Sound. A haven for artists, audiophiles, and partygoers alike, The Black Box is headquarters for Colorado’s underground music community.
The folks behind Oskar Blues have a two-decades-long history of hosting live music at their various spots around the state, so it’s not surprising that they did a superb job renovating the downtown basement space that was once home to the original Brendan’s Pub and, more recently, Pat’s Philly Steaks & Subs. Since opening in […]
The folks behind Soda Jerk Presents have a good handle on the all-ages market in Denver with the Marquis Theater and Summit Music Hall, and the company has a similar presence in Colorado Springs with the Black Sheep. One of the premier live-music venues in the Springs, the 450-capacity hall books a number of shows […]
In September 2013, Harry Smith, a longtime brewer at Breckenridge Brewery, opened Black Sky Brewery, just a block from his old employer and with Breckenridge’s full support. Black Sky, which dishes up Connecticut-style pizza along with its beer, was a long time in the making. As noted on its website, the brewery’s 23 taps feature […]
While it might have started off trying to be a non-LoDo-like bar, Blue Ice is probably the closest thing to a LoDo-vibed dance club in the Baker District — only with cheaper drinks. In fact, the martini bar has pretty much cornered the South Broadway dance-club market. The crowds vary with the club’s themed nights, […]
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 […]
