Don's Club Tavern on East 6th has run a Capitol Hill dive since 1947, with shuffleboard, pool, a back patio and the cheap drinks reputation that won Westword Best Dive multiple years.
TipOpen from 15:00 weekdays, 13:00 weekends, last call 02:00. The shuffleboard table runs heavy on Thursdays; weekends fill the patio first.
Bar Standard on Broadway is the Art Deco modern speakeasy and dance room with a main floor, two patios and a rooftop deck running touring and local DJs in downtown Denver.
TipOpen Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, 21:00-02:00. Cover varies by booking; arrive before 22:30 to skip the line.
Club Vinyl on Broadway is the four-story nightclub with a different genre on each floor and a rooftop dance patio, running house, techno, hip-hop and Latin parties most weekends.
TipFriday and Saturday after 21:00, with each floor priced separately. The rooftop opens in warmer months and clears the loudest tier.
The Black Box on East 13th is the underground bass and dub club Nicole Cacciavillano opened in 2016 around an Othorn, Funktion-One and Tannoy stack tuned for low-end Denver bass music.
TipThursday through Saturday from 21:00, Tuesday 20:00 for residency nights. Buy tickets in advance; the main room caps small for the bass rig.
The Bluebird Theater on East Colfax is the AEG-run 500-capacity 1915 cinema turned indie music room, with a tiered floor, balcony and tight sight lines between Adams and Cook.
TipDoors typically 19:00 with show at 20:00. The balcony rail upstairs is the best seat; floor general admission fills fast.
The Ogden Theatre on East Colfax is the 1917 vaudeville house turned 1,600-capacity rock room at Colfax and Ogden, on the National Register and a fixture of the AEG calendar.
TipDoors generally 20:00 for an 21:00 show. The mezzanine carries the best sight line; floor is general admission and steep at the front.
