1414 Market St.
Denver, CO 80202 303-888-0655
24k, owned by Francois Safieddine (5 Degrees, Monarck and Mynt), is decked out with gold furniture, chandeliers and huge, back-lit photos of a girl painted gold and wearing a platinum wig, is located above Monarck, with an entrance in the alley. While the intimate 24K primarily caters to the bottle-service crowd, it's a bit different from other bottle services around town, with lychee, mango, guava, passion fruit and pomegranate liqueurs thrown into the mix. 24K is open Thursdays through Saturdays with rotating resident DJs — Rob T., Maciek and Smiley — spinning house and dance music.
1475 Lawrence St.
Denver, CO 80202 303-260-7505
5º is the temperature at which martinis are considered perfectly chilled. The ambiance at 5º is also perfectly chilled, creating a sexy, hip lounge-atmosphere infused with low lighting and music. The space also offers a comprehensive, modern martini menu, as expected, and has a full kitchen and restaurant serving contemporary American cuisine. It's a place that allows the habitués, mainly young professionals, to relax, have a meal and socialize in style.
204 S. College Ave.
Fort Collins, CO 80524 970-482-8300
Fort Collins’s biggest live-music hall is a converted movie theater retrofitted with two bars. The Aggie sports a broad, multi-leveled floor that ensures a good view from anywhere, although a brutal chain-link fence separates the aged from the underaged.
554 S. Broadway
Denver, CO 80209 303-744-1923
Atrium is considered a gay and lesbian bar, but you wouldn’t know that at first glance. This homey, welcoming neighborhood bar makes anyone and everyone feel at home with its warm décor and speedy bar service. Food offerings include burgers and other standard bar fare.
605 S. Mason St.
Fort Collins, CO 80524 1-970-493-5555
Offbeat and off the beaten track, Avogadro’s Number’s warmly lit stage area is painted with a stunning mural that circles the room with people, stars and planets. The crowd reflects the folksy, friendly vibe of the music calendar: lots of bluegrass acts, jam bands, acoustic guitarists/singers and a solid open mic night.
58 Broadway
Denver, CO 80203 303-722-8489
Housed in the space formerly occupied by the Skylark Lounge, the comfortable seating and well-broken-in bar top do well to create a comfortable atmosphere. Barry’s jukebox selection doesn’t quite live up to the Skylark’s famed rockabilly list, but this bar creates its own charm with a friendly staff and great food. Its “dive-y†feel, combined with a classy décor, attracts an unpretentious local crowd.
1422 Larimer St.
Denver, CO 80202 303-668-4064
A dark, candle-filled gothic lair pulled out of the pages of an Anne Rice novel. Nosferatu would foam at the mouth at the sight of this killer den.
314 E. 13th Ave.
Denver, CO 80206 303-861-7070
Taking over a location previously occupied by Onyx and Club 314 (and even an incarnation of the Mercury Cafe, decades ago), Bender’s Tavern has transformed the spot into a friendly neighborhood bar with a spacious backyard patio, brightened interior and make-yourself-at-home seating. Grab a beer, order a sandwich, and settle in for a good time as you enjoy the venue’s local music offerings and casual atmosphere.
3435 S. Inca St., Suite B
Lakewood, CO 80226 720-963-8408
The people at Blondie’s take their theme seriously, hanging a fire suit and other memorabilia from the ceiling and cheesecake pictures of fire guys and gals in the bathrooms. Live-music Friday centers around pop and classic rock, but the rest of the week it’s pretty much all karaoke, all the time.
22 Broadway
Denver, CO 80203 303-777-3433
The thick blue drapes in the window suggest a martini bar, but Blue Ice is more of a drinker’s den than a fashion haven. The club’s mid-Broadway locale means over-imbibers can still catch a bus after closing.
3317 E. Colfax Ave.
Denver, CO 80218 303-322-2308
Built in 1917, the Bluebird Theater has a history of intimacy: Before its renovation as a music venue, it was a porn theater. Now one of the city’s finest small-room concert halls, the club is a happy marriage of arresting architecture and forward-looking music. Touring acts and local bands get equal stage time under the ´bird’s wing, where cherubs look down from vaulted ceilings onto hipster congregations.
1527 Champa St.
Denver, CO 80202 303-758-4722
Nearly hidden by the surrounding downtown businesses, Bovine Metropolis Theater is the type of place you'd expect to require a secret password to enter. Located upstairs in the old Changing Scene facility, the cozy space hosts improv performances and sketch comedy.
9262 W. 58th Ave.
Arvada, CO 80002 303-421-2986
Hidden in an Arvada strip mall, the venue feels like…a bar in a strip mall, with a large stage, plenty of room for drinking and dancing, and very little to distinguish it from similar spots.
945 S. Kipling Pkwy.
Lakewood, CO 80226 303-980-0300
The decor of this bowling-alley bar is as antiseptic as a Holiday Inn cantina, but Brunswick Zone Green Mountain picks it up with Jell-O shots and non-smoking hours. Come for the electronic scoring, but stay for the live DJs during Cosmic Bowl and the moderate-screen TVs.
1119 Washington Ave.
Golden, CO 80401 303-278-6800
Renovations have transformed the Buffalo Rose into a venue worthy of national acts. Musicians perform on a platform built over an old community pool while patrons wet their whistles in an adjoining restaurant. On busy nights, the huge dance floor fills with twirlers, boot-scooters and honky-tonkers at this Golden holdout.
1967 S. Broadway
Denver, CO 80210 303-722-0280
The huge, lit-up mirror in this low-maintenance, live-music hideout allows bands to preen from the stage before launching their aural assaults. And you can watch the show without being too far from your next beer in Bushwacker’s sunken bar area, complete with comfy chairs.
555 Zang St.
Broomfield, CO 80021 720-887-3383
Buttface Amber is the name of a lager served to the business-class crowd at C.B. & Potts; it’s made by the Bighorn Brewery, housed within the Broomfield bar, where sports TV, trivia games and unique microbrews are the favored forms of entertainment.
1904 Pearl St.
Boulder, CO 80302 303-447-2667
Cafe Prasad has a split personality: It’s half juice counter/mini-restaurant, and half carpeted live-music venue. There’s plenty of seating available — thick, rough-hewn oak on one side of the room and folding metal chairs on the other. Or take a cue from the regulars and sprawl on the floor, relax and enjoy the mostly acoustic acts that play here.
637-R Table Mesa Dr.
Boulder, CO 80303 303-499-2985
A clean, subtly lit coffee shop on the south end of town, Caffé Solé does its best with a mini-mall address. Dreadlocked baristas pull joe for students and others who want to enjoy the mellow atmosphere.
