    We came here to see a great local artist Atlus and were not disappointed! The venu is small and intimate. Anywhere you stand you have a great view of the stage! The sound was good and clear. There was no line to get in and easy process. It's standing only so no seats, we stood by the bars and leaned against them. They have 1 bar with 2 bartenders, they offer alot of drinks. We chose the watermelon, redbull margarita and it was pretty good but very expensive. There was no line at the bar as well. They only have 1 toilet for everyone, no men's or women's bathrooms just 1 toilet so try to go before they start or you will be waiting after the concert. Overall it was a great experience! We had so much fun and I got emotional listening to such a great artist.

    Bluebird theater sort of reminds me a little bit of Winterland and the Fillmore in San Fran. A grand old building that has amazing vibes. These types of venues are a dying breed as I could give you a shopping list of great small concert halls that have closed over the last half century. A friend dragged us to Steve Poltz (never heard of him...but he is a legend and amazing to see...so much so that Steve Wonzniak follows him around like a Deadhead followed Jerry). https://poltz.com/ Great sound. Great little bar in the back with nice cocktails and taps. Great location. If someone you want to see is playing there.....GO!!!!

    Great historic venue. Well maintained and friendly staff. Seating is limited so get in line early. Sound was great throughout the venue.

    Attending an event here, one must appreciate the intimacy of the venue. It's small (capacity is limited) but that makes for great sound and a great view no matter where you stand. And stand you must (exception for handicap area, which was limited to 6 spots). All tixs are GA so if you want to be at the stage, arrive at doors. Drinks are pricey ($20 for two bevvies), bathroom stalls slightly grungy, theater a but chilly but hey, the music was fantastically loud, the band uber energetic (Geoff Tate and his Rock Band Leksi) and the crowd 110% engaged. Security check in place (the folks af the door were fabulous and friendly) and bonus....no bag restrictions!!!! So ladies, celebrate, party on, and flip cartwheels if you must (just be ready to have that bag searched). The only downside for me....parking. The neighborhoods surrounding Bluebird are restricted to permit holders so best place was on St Paul and 17th (unless one gets lucky for a street spot on drag city central...oops I mean Colfax). For some, if you have senstive ears, bring ear plugs or ask at the bar for a pair.

    Came here for a concert on a Saturday and it was a great time! Finding parking was kinda a pain as they only have one teeny tiny parking lot and I had to spend around 10 minutes finding street parking. Granted, it was a Saturday night in Denver, so it makes sense that it was busy. The ID check/security line going in was quick and smooth. There are bathrooms and a bar right when you walk in. Bar prices were pretty typical for music venues, so no surprises there. There are stairs going up to the upper balcony area as well as a main floor with different levels with railings so there really isn't a bad view. Seating was limited to a few stools behind one of the railings, but I didn't have a problem with standing. Sound and lighting were good! Overall, it's a cute and intimate venue and I would go back if I were seeing a concert in the Denver area again.

    My first show at the Bluebird was everything that I could have asked for and more! As most know, parking is pretty nonexistent down colfax and really throughout Denver. Therefore, I suggest carpooling or hitching a ride through uber/lyft or someone you know. Merchandise is located right at the front when you walk in after getting through security and ID checks. The staff were awesome and welcoming! The bathroom situation was severely crammed with only two stalls and a tight squeeze, but ultimately did the job. There are two bars, one on the main floor and one upstairs. They have your average options, but no food or snacks. Capacity lands at about 500 people, which makes this one of the most intimate concert venues in Colorado. The concert was one of the coolest things I have experienced. I preferred the balcony seating up top because it offered a great view of the stage and an opportunity to sit on the ground if you don't want to stand. Plus, if you snag a spot in the front row you can lean up against the railing. The sound was perfect. The crowd was great! Lighting was on point and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Seeing one of my favorite artists in such an intimate venue was so special and fun. Definitely a night I will never forget at the Bluebird. I can't wait to see more artists in this beautiful venue.

    Really great venue, not stadium room so if you're short like me it can be hard to see. The building is cool, definitely not ada for any of my.handicalped friends it's hard to navigate to the bathrooms. Nice staff, perfectly dingy with some really cool ceiling and light figures. Saw one of my favorite bands and had.some.good drinks, will definitely be back for another show.

    Cool venue in an area in denver with some cool bars around. Super easy to get in and has chill vibes. Went to see a Ron Pope concert and it wasn't too crowded so it wasn't bad to stand the whole time. Wish they had chairs in some areas because it is tiring to stand for hours. They have some railing you could lean against or you could sit on the concrete in some places. The lights and acoustics were good. The bartender was friendly and even told us about the new water filter/bottle filler thing they got so you could refill the water bottle you could buy at the bar. Overall pretty cool for a small show.

    This is my favorite concert venue in Denver. I've been lucky enough to see a handful of shows, including a few bands that mean a lot to me. Contrary to the many venues along Colfax and in the greater Denver area, it's my personal belief that this is the best place to see a rock band perform. The picturesque marquee adds to the allure of Bluebird. It's quite magical seeing that brightly lit up sign. Onto the housekeeping side of things: security is efficient, scanning tickets is painless and the bar works quickly. It's never overcrowded at Bluebird. And more so than some of the other venues, it seems like fans respect the time of the artists performing. Rather than just going to a random concert as a general "thing to do" or "be seen." My favorite concert was the Russian Circles concert I saw back in September. Not only do I believe that they are one of the tightest heavy bands working today, but damn, the Bluebird made them sound extra special. Killer venue down E Colfax!

    Probably my favorite venue for a show. It's a cozy theater and anywhere is a good place to see the stage. The sound quality was excellent and at least for Caroline Polachek and Oklou (left field pop, PC Music) the sound wasn't too loud. I didn't need earplugs and was close to the stage. The door people were also very nice. The crowd was also good for the most part. They were true fans instead of being there just to be seen or something to do. Only one small group I saw was getting too drunk and a bit messy when everyone else was intently listening but someone next to me spoke to them. I can't speak for the bar as I didn't order anything but everything was good.

    Yes, I'm definitely a fan of Cherry Creek Theater!…read more CCT is a relatively new addition to the Denver theater scene, and have just begun their second season of productions. They're so new, in fact, they don't actually have a traditional theater space. They partner with the Shaver-Ramsey rug gallery in Cherry Creek and hold their performances in the large room off to the side of the main showroom. The acoustics are wonderful, and the space works really well. The performance we saw was in-the-round, so there wasn't a bad seat in the place. They don't focus on one specific type of theater - you'll find dramas, comedies, even musicals. I suspect that anything you see will be quite good as they get some of the best acting talent in Denver, and do a solid job with their script selection. The CCT also offers refreshments before the show and during intermission, including wine, most of which seemed to just have a suggested "donation" amount. You are allowed to bring drinks into the theater - yay! They find places around the area (Whole Foods, for example) and bring in pretty decent bites. So, there you go - yet another theater in Denver you perhaps never knew was there. Check it out!

The Grand Entry Hall is a soaring lobby that can accomodate private events and is the main display space for art shows. There is also an Event Hall that opens to the outdoor Terrace Theater. Concessions available are beer, wine, cocktails, soft drinks, and snacks. The facility is really quite spectacular. I recently visited to view the Roland Bernier retrospective which included a substantial selection of his work from the 1980s/1990s. The expansive lobby provided an excellent setting for his large-scale works. Additional art display space is available in the long hallway that leads from the lobby to the administration offices. The Arts Center has a busy schedule of theatrical and musical events that are presented in the Main Stage and Terrace theaters. There is also a regular schedule of art exhibits. This is a well-designed complex that offers many reasons to visit for those with an interest in many areas of the arts.

    Atmosphere & Performance This was The Notebook The Musical…read moreso it is different from the book and the movie. I would say the musical leans more toward a romantic comedy especially compared to the movie and you will definitely notice the differences. That said I still think The Notebook musical is great. I really enjoyed it and it absolutely still has those tearjerker moments. The cast was awesome and everyone sang so beautifully. The performances felt genuine and emotional and the atmosphere in the theater really helped pull everything together. Customer Service Customer service was amazing. Everyone was super friendly helpful and accommodating from the moment we arrived. As soon as I checked in they noticed I was a lottery ticket winner and congratulated me which was really sweet and unexpected. I did not need that but it was still a very thoughtful touch. Staff showed us where to go and once we got closer to our seating area another staff member walked us directly to our seats. Overall everyone was welcoming and made the experience feel smooth and stress free. Pricing & Parking I got my tickets through Lucky Seats. Which is a lottery-style system for discounted tickets. We won two tickets for a total of $78 and our seats were very close to the stage with a great view. Discounted tickets made the experience even better. Parking at DCPA was $17, and they only accept card payments. Parking was convenient, with several nearby options, and it did not feel overwhelming getting in or out. Food & Drinks For food and drinks I paid twenty two dollars total not including tip. I got one Sprite one bottled Sprite one bottle of Coca Cola and a pack of gummy bears. I understand it is for a great cause and supports DCPA but it is a bit pricey. If you need to sneak in your own snacks do what you gotta do. Overall Experience My overall experience was honestly perfect. The performance was amazing the seats were great and the entire night was so much fun. I would absolutely go back again and highly recommend checking out DCPA and one of their shows.
