Nissi’s

One of the few full-fledged music venues in Lafayette, Nissi’s brings in a variety of local and national live acts most nights of the week, offering everything from jazz and rock to a cappella, comedy and cabaret. The intimate venue, which has a decent sound system and acoustics, is a classy spot for an evening […]

Nob Hill Inn

This address has held a drinker’s paradise since 1937; it became known as the Nob Hill Inn seventy years ago. It’s the kind of joint where it’s easy to lose track of time…for decades. The square-shaped bar makes for easy people-watching, and with some of Colfax’s finest camping out here, it’s usually entertaining as hell. […]

Nocturne

Just off Larimer Street, Nocturne continues the jazz tradition of the neighborhood with its Art Deco-style bar, classic cocktails and stage-side dining room. This swanky spot is the perfect place to celebrate an anniversary or any other occasion that warrants a little extra something special, but you can also just stop by for some tunes […]

Number Thirty Eight

Number Thirty Eight, which opened in late 2020, is a massive spot with enough room both inside and on its dog-friendly patio to quell any lingering social distancing concerns. When you check in, you’re given a wristband that connects with your credit card, so you don’t ever have to get out your wallet to order […]

Odde’s Music Grill

The OMG is your one-stop destination for delectable foods, great drinks, stylish atmosphere, and cool live music in Colorado. You’ll never want to be anywhere else when you dine in and hang out here.

Ogden Theatre

Built in 1917 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 […]

Old Chicago

In this day and age, Old Chicago locations are common enough across the country that many diners have forgotten this chain’s humble beginnings: It got its start not in Chicago — or anywhere else in Illinois, for that matter — but in Boulder, in 1976. Old Chicago is part of the Rock Bottom line of […]

Old Curtis Street Bar

A friendly neighborhood joint just east of LoDo, Old Curtis Street is one of Denver’s best kept secrets. The atmosphere recalls the warm and welcoming vibe of an old diner. The food and drink prices are beyond fair. With live music three nights a week, bringing everything from punk and indie bands to house DJs, […]

Opal Restaurant & Lounge

In the afternoons, you might have Opal all to yourself — which means all the more offerings for you. The laundry list of specials includes two-for-one deals on nigiri and hand rolls, two-for-one hot sake, four-dollar martinis, three-dollar champagne, big Kirins for just $2.50 — and the incongruous dollar Coronas. Don’t ask why, just enjoy. […]

Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox

Justin Cucci has already experienced wild success with Linger and Root Down, and Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox, which opened in April 2015 in the Ballpark neighborhood, is even more ambitious. Cucci calls the space a “gastro-brothel,” since it occupies the ground floor and basement of the Airedale building, which has been a bordello, flophouse and peep-show […]

Oriental Theater

Built as a movie theater in 1927, the Oriental Theater showed films daily for decades, but it hit a rough patch in the ’50s, during the flight to the suburbs. In an effort to boost attendance in the ’60s, the theater was updated with plush seating, new carpeting, fresh paint and a bigger projection screen. […]

Oskar Blues Grill & Brew

The long, angled bar – fashioned from ruddy Colorado sandstone – makes the trip to Oskar Blues worthwhile. The mellow Lyons spot also serves the first-ever canned Colorado microbrew, Dale’s Pale Ale (6.5 percent!), and features a dark, cavernous corner stage that hosts some fine blues music Friday and Saturday nights.

The Overland

Denver musician Nathaniel Rateliff teamed up with a couple of his bandmembers and the owners of the hi-dive to take over the former Bushwacker’s Saloon and unveil it as the Overland in the summer of 2016. But don’t go here because you’re a fan of the Night Sweats; the team has created a bona fide […]

Paddy the Yank

Named after a Boston-area blacksmith from the late 1800s, Paddy the Yank (formerly Patrick Carroll’s) was started by one of his descendants in 2005. This Berkeley neighborhood watering hole is an updated take on the traditional Irish pub, one of the few in the area. While the cozy, inviting spot brings in a decent lunch […]

Paramount Cafe

Paramount Cafe is a longtime institution on the 16th Street Mall, with a huge patio (with a modest smoking section) perfect for people-watching and an inside ambience that’s equal parts trendy diner (lots of wood, brass and black-and-white tile) and sports bar (pool table, plenty of TV screens for big events). The menu is familiar […]

Paramount Theatre

Since being built by Temple Buell in 1930, the gorgeous art-deco Paramount Theatre has had a storied history. The theater originally showed silent films, and it has a one-of-a-kind Wurlitzer twin-console organ that was designed to produce a variety of sound effects to accompany the films. And while the Paramount had a long run as […]
