    Last week I checked out the "other side" and it was so great! Even though it's a smaller venue it packs a big sound and lots of fun! Great lighting and sound and brings in some great people. I had a lot of fun here with my friend Heather and she showed me around the place and the little area in the back/ outside which I had never seen before. The people here were so cool too very friendly and helpful. I also love that they are great about free water and ear plugs and really taking care of their people here. Also the little chandeliers are chef's kiss !

    Great venue for music. Cervantes "The Other Side" is a smaller stage venue with a bar. The Ballroom side attracts trending artists and national touring groups. Recycable plastic bar cups are used for the conscious minded. Normally a pretty hip crowd. No food unless you go next door to "The Masterpiece Ballroom" side. Parking is street side or in the surrounding neighborhood. Located in 5 points on Welton street. My favorite local band "Float like a Buffalo" performs there often along with other must see artists. Join the crowd. See you at Cervantes for some music and SYOY

    Love this venue, perfect size for a good sized crowd but still feels intimate. The bar staff keeps the pace moving even at sold out shows. Price of shows is always super reasonable. Tip: Get on their mailing list for chance at discounted tickets.

    The security line was quick and efficient. The staff were friendly. The ambiance of the show was fun, and I felt safe. People were pleasant and having a good time. I didn't order any food or drinks, so I can't speak to that, but the concert was great. No issues with sound, lighting, cleanliness, safety, or anything like that.

    Came to see Bone thugs and harmony for 4/20. Dj quik / LA legend opened up and the vibes were incredible. Venue is very open and intimate. Service was prompt and drinks were actually cheap at $7/drink.

    One of my all time favorite music venues, drinks are a little pricy but nothing unusual for downtown and definitely worth your money. They always have great music ( Tayler Scott band is who I've seen most frequent and recent) Grate staff.. the security are always so friendly and make sure we all stay safe.

    Saw Oteil & Friends for both the Halloween 2024 nights this weekend. Fantastic shows, night two better in my opinion. The venue is solid. All GA with just a few first come, first served barstools in the balcony. Ticketing and security was easy and the staff were polite. There is a coat room that works for tips only and it was great. Bar was easily accessible and not too expensive. Sound quality was excellent in the GA floor but a little weak up in the balcony. This venue is typical for concerts like this so if you go you should expect it to be crowded and to get pretty warm once it's full. You'll need to be prepared to get to know your neighbor and to roll with it if you get bumped a bit. I don't recommend the balcony. Very hot up there and a lot of traffic moving back and forth. If you go, have a great show. (~);}

    I went to see Cat Empire here. Pros: Íntimate venue that encourages dancing, fun Lighting with a disco ball. Cons: have to stand the whole time lol. The sound is good, but bring concert earplugs if you stand close to a speaker.

    After many, many years in Denver, I went to Cervantes' for the first time on Friday night. A friend's son was playing. I bought VIP tickets, which turned out to be a good plan. The main floor is open, with no seating. The VIP balcony is cozy and has seats, plus a great view of the stage. And a very small bar. The check-in process was easy. I bought my ticket online, so just went to the "Will Call" desk to pick it up. All the employees I encountered, from the bouncer to the ticket person to the security guard who checked my purse, and the people who directed me to the VIP area, were friendly and pleasant. VIP tickets come with two drink tickets. The upstairs bartender was cheerful and efficient, but alas the "CBD Mule" was one of the weakest drinks that I have ever had :( I haven't been drinking because it's "bikini season diet time," plus BF dropped me off and would be picking me up, so I was looking forward to a mild buzz. That was not attainable, given the lack of tequila in the Mule. I went downstairs to use the ladies' room, and wandered over to the downstairs bar. Decided to try their Ranch Water special. Brie ("like the cheese") made an AWESOME drink that actually contained detectable tequila. Plus, it was yummy. This is an interesting and unique space. It's basically a concert hall, where people on the main floor stand, dance, and sing along. It's a mostly young crowd, but there were people of all ages and manner of dress. My friend told me it was a flannel-shirt kind of place. I don't own any flannel shirts, so went with something else. She wore a sparkly top. There were women in sequins, crop tops, a gold spandex jumpsuit, and lace. Men wore mostly flannel shirts or tee shirts. The sound was wonderful. Not too loud, so that you couldn't talk, but loud enough to get people dancing. The lights were also really well done. The VIP tickets were fairly expensive, so it might be better to buy them at the door if possible and avoid the service charge. But I think the number of tickets is limited, because the space is small.

    I really, deeply disliked this place. The parking in Five Points is atrocious. The second you get off Welton to park, you need armed security. There were men begging for money, using IV drugs and sleeping on the sidewalks. This venue allows the homeless to stand right at the front doors and work the line of people for money. It's extremely uncomfortable. I would deeply recommend unaccompanied women not make the trek to this establishment. The security was spotty with a metal detector that picked up nothing I was carrying. Then, when you get inside, you're trapped. Even with the wrist band they give you, you can't leave and come back in. I absolutely despise "no re-entry" policies. Stay safe and avoid this place. The band, Direville, was fantastic though.

    Ask the Community - Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom

    Is there seating at Cervantes? Seating that you can reserve? I love music but can't stand for hours.

    VIP tickets enable access to the balcony seating area, but you can't reserve a seat. Get there early to snag a table and seats.

    Are people under 16 allowed into the venue without a parent/guardian?

    I think most shows are 16 and up.

    Does the venue check ID's or any sort of verification? Please respond ASAP?

    Yes, you need ID.

It was everything we wanted it to be and more. They checked our tix at the door along with IDs. It's a large space inside, they have coat check for $4. They have a lot of beer options, cocktails, and even mocktails and NA drinks. I got an NA cider that had a blueberry lime flavor and it was super delish. The DJ... the GFX on screen... the music. Everything was a 10/10. The DJ looked like he was having the time of his life and his energy was so infectious. One of the best DJs I've seen, I even said I hope I can get a DJ like this for my wedding one day because he was so so so fun. The crowd was having such a good time and so many people were dressed with the 2000s theme. The GFX on screen added to the night with hilarious 2000s throwbacks like Paint and WordArt. Plenty of space inside, there's an upstairs with tables and the bar and downstairs has more of a dance floor. Definitely recommend planning a night out here, you'll have so much fun!

    It's a dive bar. It's a comedy stage. It's a music powerhouse. What is Lion's Lair, if not iconic?!…read more If you're looking for a place that's all heart, loud and proud, it is HERE. Anybody who's come out of Colorado to become a big name has gone through those doors to play on the little stage. From local to traveling acts, from punk bands and karaoke talent to gritty stand-up and flirty burlesque, this place has it. If you're up for a night that doesn't stink of ordinary, swing through that creaky door and take in a most memorable evening. If there is a cover, it's usually nominal. Drinks are cheap, served by a great crew that's always up for a laugh and cheers. Sometimes hitting the town isn't about getting fancy but just kicking back, and this is a great place to do just that off the mainstream treads.

    Great little dive bar on Colfax! Came here for the first time last night to see a DJ (or set of DJs…read moreI guess) that we like. The interior is small but I like how the bar is set up kind of in a rectangle so you're actually facing some other people (maybe awkward, but feels more communal?) They had an inexpensive menu of basic beers. They were out of the drink I wanted so the bartender made me a creation that I guess is something the doorman likes - not bad, and I think it was about $10 which is pretty decent for a mixed drink. I noticed a big red counter/clock on the wall across from us and after a few seconds we deduced it was a decibel meter. I'm curious if they have restrictions here for noise - AOK by me. The volume was generally alright (a little loud but what isn't?) and they actually had a sound guy in the corner making sure the volume and quality sounded good. Overall had a very decent Saturday night here.

They DPL even had a card maker for you to get a new library card! And told me about Kanopy, an app I can sign up for with DPL and watch free movies at home! They also had some free magnets of the movie, which was pretty cool. The bar had a video game in there and I think they may have music sometimes, too. Wasn't able to confirm (I was watching a movie and getting my library card & magnet!).
