This saloon is a popular spot for music, imbibing and patio-sitting – and while you’re soaking up the sun or knocking one back, you’re bound to get hungry. Fortunately, Cactus Jack’s has a solid menu of bar food, with a Mexican plate or two for good measure. Taking center stage are the dozen-plus Widespread Burgers, […]
The Caribou Room is concert venue and events center located in Nederland, Colorado. Only 25 minutes west of Boulder and overlooking the Rocky Mountains, the Caribou Room continues the rich musical history of the area by offering high end service with a relaxed mountain style. From its beginning as a warehouse, the building has been […]
It’s dirty and grimy and sometimes feels a little dangerous, but that’s all part of the grungy charm of this cash-only dive. Known as Bar Bar thanks to the triangular neon sign outside, the downtown holdout nearly went under when it had to put a pause on live music because of licensing issues in 2022, […]
The last word of the name Casselman’s Bar & Venue really tells you what you need to know: This is a venue, above all, and a huge one, located on a warehouse-y stretch of Walnut Street in the Ballpark neighborhood. While the venue brings in an assortment of acts throughout the week, the space can […]
If you’re looking for something Irish in LoDo and prefer to avoid the sports-bar crowd, Celtic Tavern might be just the ticket. Eschewing a green-beer motif in favor of decor that incorporates literary works from the Emerald Isle’s finest, Celtic Tavern presents a distinct Gaelic theme.

The historic Central City Opera House is fascinating in and of itself: Built in 1878 by miners, it boasts gorgeous fresco on its ceiling, and there are names of notable Coloradans of yore — such as Horace Tabor and Buffalo Bill — carved on the backs of the seats. (Those carvings were transferred when the […]
As the Casino Cabaret, this venue was one of Five Points’ legendary jazz clubs, dating back to the ’30s, when it brought in such legends as Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Benny Goodman; over the years, folks like B.B. King, Ray Charles and Ike and Tina Turner played there, too. And when the trio behind […]
The smaller part of Cervantes’, the 400-capacity Other Side brings in acts similar to those hosted by its bigger ballroom sibling, including jam bands, hip-hop, reggae and funk artists, and acts on its weekly bluegrass and electronica lineups. Since the venues are next door to each other and are connected by an inside doorway, some […]
Colorful characters from Denver’s past are rumored to have bellied up to the bar at Charlie Brown’s, which has been open since Prohibition ended. A sprawling spot with nightly piano sing-alongs, it lives up to its slogan: “Something for everyone.” Couples, friends, tourists, young professionals, senior citizens, college kids and even celebrities enjoy the stiff […]

Sometimes Colfax Avenue is so idiosyncratic that it risks becoming a caricature of itself. For evidence, look no further than Charlie’s, Colfax’s big, gay cowboy bar. Gaze upon the cowboy-boot disco ball that spins and glistens from the ceiling. Don’t miss the translucent machine that blows money (or whatever else) around as dancers – also […]
The Colorado Chautauqua Association comprises, among other amenities, the state’s oldest music venue, having opened in the shadow of the Flatirons in 1898. The Chautauqua Auditorium provides a beautiful setting for performances by a variety of nationally known acts such as Andrew Bird, Son Volt, Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle. While technically indoors, the minimalist […]
Chautauquas — cultural and self-improvement centers — were hot properties in the nineteenth century, but only three remain in the entire country, including the Boulder Chautauqua, founded in 1898. The 26-acre campus is centered on a grand Victorian dining hall, featuring great views of the Flatirons and a menu of American standards. It sits at […]
Created by guys who have many years of ivory tickling between them, the circus/carnival themed Chez Cirque dueling piano spot is a step above other local piano bars. A typical night will feature at least two pianists (and possibly two more pianists who may double on other instruments) playing requests from the audience, everything from […]
City Hall is part of the SoCo (South of Colfax) nightlife district, which also controls Funky Buddha, Milk and Vinyl, among others. City Hall, though, operates as more of an events venue and less of a nightclub. Although the large, outdoor space hosts an occasional rave, it is far more likely to be the location […]

Located in in the heart of downtown Denver, the variety nightclub is nestled beneath the historic Daniels & Fisher Clock Tower building. Denver’s showcase venue for live performances and your destination for […]
After extensive renovations, the Grizzly Rock opened in 2012 in the building at 5255 West Sixth Avenue that has housed a number of different nightclubs over the years, including Hollywood Legends, Club Arriba and After the Gold Rush. But the 1,200-capacity venue closed in April this year – and now Club Adixion, which specializes in […]

The venue’s rooftop patio offers great views of Denver’s skyline, along with year-round fire pits, hookahs and a seasonal grill. Elsewhere, the uber-swanky lounge welcomes those who just want to chill, and […]
