Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre

The southeast suburban amphitheater that originally opened as Fiddler’s Green in 1988 was later named Coors Amphitheatre and then Comfort Dental Amphitheatre. Now back to its original name and operated by AEG Live, the outdoor venue hosts a variety of nationally known acts each summer, like country superstars (Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley), metal […]

Fillmore Auditorium

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 the Mammoth Events Center, the building hosted sporting events, parties and concerts for more than six decades. After a multimillion-dollar renovation in 1999, the venue reopened as the 3,700-capacity Fillmore […]

Firehouse Tavern

Although vintage guitars share space with a motorcycle mounted on the walls of the Firehouse Tavern, the Westminster bar doesn’t just draw bikers and rockers. Since 2009, the bar’s spacious interior, roomy patio space and affordable drink specials have attracted a diverse crowd, from newly minted 21-year-olds to grizzled toughs sporting bandannas and sleeveless shirts. […]

The Ford Amphitheater

Developed and built by Notes Live, the Sunset Amphitheater is an 8,000-capacity, state-of-the-art venue right in the heart of the Polaris Pointe development in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Notes Live identifies markets where entertainment options are limited and where demand is high for quality entertainment. Currently under construction, the Sunset Amphitheater will offer an unparalleled view […]

Fox Theatre

Aside from being among the country’s best-regarded venues, the Fox continues to offer one of the Front Range’s best concert experiences. Unrestricted sight lines and flawless sound abound, and the calendar is consistently excellent and diverse, with the best and brightest locals, indie hip-hop and rock, mainstream acts on the verge, and everything in between, […]

Globe Hall

Globe Hall, located in the historic Globeville neighborhood, is known for its post oak-smoked BBQ and for hosting up-and-coming touring acts. Before they played the Mission Ballroom and Red Rocks, artists such as Charley Crockett, Billy Strings, Oliver Tree, Black Pumas, Sierra Ferrell, Lane 8 and many more played at Globe Hall. It’s a fun, […]

Gothic Theatre

Opened during the Roaring Twenties, the Gothic Theatre had a long run as a movie house until Steve Schalk took it over in the late ’90s, saving it from the wrecking ball. Schalk remodeled and rebuilt the venue from the foundation to the roof, but left the theater’s art-deco-style interior intact. Now it’s a magnificent […]

Grizzly Rock

Grizzly Rose owner Scott Durland took over the former After the Gold Rush space in 2011, completely redoing the outside of the building, the stage, and electrical and lighting systems. But Durland says they kept the ceiling lights from the Gold Rush days, and the entrance has been revamped to look like a mine shaft […]

Grizzly Rose

Country music will never die in Denver as long as the Grizzly Rose remains. Live music six nights a week, concerts by Nashville nationals, free dance lessons on Wednesdays and lots of space on the hardwood floor for honky tonkin’ were among the attributes cited by the Country Music Association, which chose the Rose as […]

Gypsy House Cafe

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 […]

Herb’s Hideout

Herb’s has worn many hats throughout its long, long (it was erected in 1933) tenure: dive, cougar bar, live-music dance hall, a place to escape LoDo douchebags. And while we can’t promise that it won’t violate any and all aforementioned descriptors upon entry, the historic tavern remains a go-to respite from its gentrified surroundings. Yes, […]

Heritage Square Music Hall

Heritage Square has earned its name: Although the attraction — tucked into the foothills in Golden — has some modern draws, such as the alpine slide and bumper cars, people flock to this little corner of the metro area for the old-timey soda shoppe and stores hawking handmade wooden toys (among other wares). And the […]

Herman’s Hideaway

A kind of petri dish for the local-music scene, Herman’s Hideaway opens its stage to bands in their gestation period as well as more accomplished acts that draw well on weekend nights. An open room with minimal adornment, Herman’s feels a bit like a big basement where young players come together to perform for friends, […]

hi-dive

The bars at these conjoined spaces are two sides of the same coin – both a little worn and gritty, but still good for quick shots or planting yourself for the long haul. Since 2003, the hi-dive has been a refuge from crass commercialism and bland bars catering to the masses. Cheap, stiff drinks and […]

Hiccups Sports Bar & Grill

Hot bartenders and waitresses wearing ass-less chaps with their panties: It seems like a gimmick. But it’s just one of the things that keep guys coming back to this Westminster sports bar. Well, that and live music on the weekends, a decent-sized checkered dance floor, cheep beer, pool, karaoke and a large patio. A working-class […]
