While it’s squashed into a small mall overlooking a parking lot, the interior feel of Arugula is gracious, modern and warm – and the Northern Italian food turned out by chef/owner Alec Schuler has the same contemporary hominess. The seasonal menu features farm-to-table ingredients, many of them locally sourced; the roster is rich with such […]
About a year after Arvada’s Brickhouse Nightclub closed, Salmineo Martin — or Big Sal, as he’s known in the professional wrestling community — took over the spot and completely remodeled it, putting in a new stage, dance floor and lighting rig, and he gave the place a black-light theme, making it one of the few […]

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.

The southeast suburban amphitheater that originally opened as Fiddler’s Green in 1988 was later named Coors Amphitheatre and then Comfort Dental Amphitheatre.

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 […]
Stargazers, a Colorado Springs event center, doubles as a performing-arts venue that can hold up to 550 people in a concert-style setting.
