Has Denver been on your radar? The mile-high city is a Rocky-mountain paradise in the clouds, filled with good beer, amazing art, solid views, and so much incredible music. What if you could roll all those good times into a few unique stops in the city? Well, you can with these unexpected spaces. Here are five of our favorite unique venues in Denver for live music.
1. Archipelago
Archipelago is home to all kinds of events, both for members and open to the public, as long as they promote growth and connection. This gorgeous social space is full of work spaces, cold plunge tubs, saunas, and an event room that feels like a cabin nestled in the mountains. You can get in a full work day, a spa moment, and then catch some live music, all under one (stunning) roof.
2. Collabratory Complex
An artist social club where you can catch hip-hop, jazz funk, Latin fusion, and more—it’s just the tip of the iceberg of what you can experience at Collabratory Complex. Definitely circle this one twice on your list of venues in Denver for live music.
3. Catbird
If you’re coming in from out of town, Catbird’s the spot to stay, a condo hotel that feels more like a cozy home away from home. You could spend all day on the rooftop taking in the panoramic views of the city and the mountains, then make your way downstairs for some reading time in the lounge, and wrap the day with an intimate performance from local artists. It’s a must for venues in Denver for live music.
4. Green Spaces
We’re in a remote-working world, which means sometimes you gotta put in a few hours of your day job while you’re traveling. Green Spaces is an eco-friendly workspace promoting collaboration and community, with an emphasis on supporting local artists and small businesses. Go get your emails done, meet a few new friends, and if the stars align, maybe even catch a little live music in the evening, all in one special (green) space.
5. Urban Sanctuary
Before you go, we’ve got one more recommendation. Definitely stop by Urban Sanctuary, Denver’s Black women-run wellness studio, a space for BIPOC teachers to offer healing practices to underrepresented communities. Yoga classes, monthly educational meetings, live events—this beautiful space is here to offer belonging and healing, and even a little live music. It’s a favorite for venues in Denver for live music.
