While the Roadhouse gets its share of bikers, it’s one of the most friendly joints in the neighborhood. It’s particularly fun on the weekends with a lively group of regulars taking part in karaoke or listening to live music.

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.
After a long stint as the Starlight, and the Mountain Tap before that, this Old Town Fort Collins music venue reopened in 2006 as Hodi’s Half Note. With a 300-person capacity, Hodi’s is big enough to accommodate national artists as well as local bands, but still small enough to provide good views of the stage […]
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 […]

Much larger than it appears from the outside, Eck’s Saloon has plenty of room for hearty drinkers, bikers, pool sharks and those who just want to stretch out and dance. Anyone with an affinity for ’80s hair rock is pretty much guaranteed to fall in love with the place, as hard-rock cover bands are usually […]
The geologically formed natural amphitheater at Red Rocks comprises monolithic red sandstone formations that provide ideal acoustics for outdoor performances each summer. Since opening in 1941, the legendary venue the only one of its kind in the world has hosted countless national and international acts, from the Beatles to the Police to U2, which filmed […]
Not only is the Newman Center for the Performing Arts a jewel box of a venue, with its three intimate performance spaces and elegant balconied plaza, but it also plays host to one of the finest college concert series in this or any other city. The building itself is a beauty, built for the ages […]

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 […]
The D Note celebrated its tenth anniversary and a change of ownership in 2012, but this live-music venue and full-service restaurant and bar in Olde Town Arvada is still a favorite local hangout and a tourist attraction for out-of-town visitors. Originally envisioned as a performance space/art gallery, it was expanded to include hot eats and […]
The Larimer Lounge does one thing better than anyone else in the area: It brings the rock. Sure, the venue has brought in indie-rock progenitors like Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and Sebadoh, but it’s also seen acts like Arcade Fire and Bat for Lashes, which have since outgrown the venue. You’ll feel like a member […]
Located in an upscale DTC strip mall, Darcy’s Irish Pub and Bistro is a chic eatery/Irish-pub hybrid that caters to an after-work crowd. Three seating areas complement the social atmosphere: a dark wood bar (with the requisite Irish ales and whiskeys on tap), a dining area with tables and booths, and a cozy library in […]

[…]
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. […]
