Had such a fun time at the roller skating event that is every third Friday of the month. Getting in was a breeze and easy. The skate rentals being included in the admission price makes this a cheap activity. They have killer music and the other rooms with karaoke and the club were fun as well. People were super friendly also. Definitely recommend this event. read more

What can I say...it's an event venue that is perfect for winter time markets. Inside, it's very rough and unfinished but that seems to be the trend in the growing RiNo district. The parking leaves a lot to be desired for.....it's an epic cluster of a show. Like playing the roulette, you never know where one end's up. There is no lot (it's repurposed for food trucks) and no sign's to help direct folks to where the entrance is (FYI it's Tracks). I attended the RiNo Holiday Bazaar. I purchased a Groupon for unlimited mimosas during the 11a-2p Brunch Hours. Included was GA admission, sipping glass (which was always full) and a BOGO Breweries Passbook. There were so many wonderful vendors selling jewelry, clothing, candles and soap, just to list a few. The layout was a a bit messy to wonder through but for the most part, it was manageable. The bar tenders were amazing to keep up with the crowds and our never ending need to quench our thirsts. One of the best parts to the RiNo event was the acapella group Reunited, sharing holiday cheer with great tunes! Yes, there are restrooms. Yes, there are tables to sit and enjoy the yummies. Yes, it is dog friendly (well behaved service furries only). BTW, Native Roots Wellness was in hand with CBD products but they wouldn't sell to visitors...weird????? read more

I have been to two events at EXDO in the last couple of years and it's hard to keep the actual event from coloring my impression of the event center. The first event was perfect and this most recent one was not. But that is in no way a reflection of the Event Center. As far as I can tell, the people who staff the event are mostly employed by EXDO and they are all very good at what they do. The bartenders are the most patient, friendly, efficient people! The actual building is very versatile. The first event I attended had several "hidden" areas, as well as a large stage for live music (great sound system) and so many separate areas for games, presentations, food and interactive experiences. This event had more of the feel of one large room with areas set up around the edges. There is not a lot of parking nearby but EXDO Event Center is a great place to hold a large event. You can make it into almost anything and it holds hundreds of people. read more

Work sponsored Christmas event at EXDOS. Please dont confuse with the elegant hotel banquet facility. Its rough and unrefined facility but offers everything you need for awesome party. 3 large bar areas, coat checks and nice sound system. read more

I went to the Bloody Mary Festival at the EXDO event center. The venue is easy to access and there is plenty of parking in the area. We ended up using a paid lot only because it was across the street and the wind was awful (and it was cold). But it only cost $2.35 an hour to park so that wasn't so bad. After all, I've had to pay for downtown parking before. This was nothing compared to that. The venue was big enough to hold the spectators who attended the VIP session. As more people arrived, it did get quite a bit crowded but it was still very organized. The only thing I found weird was how dark the restrooms were. I get mood lighting, but in a restroom? I like to be able to see what I'm doing and be more aware of my surroundings. I'm not sure if the people they staffed worked for the event center; they were extremely friendly and very well-organized. If there are other events at the EXDO, I'll definitely go back. read more

I have been to EXDO for both the Jackalope Art & Craft Fair and several concerts. I must say that this venue is incredibly versatile! I love how they utilize ever aspect of it's ample space for the Arts & Crafts Fair. They even have a beach party that happens every weekend in the summer. Yeah that's right I said a beach party! Check out the listing for the Rino Beach Club. Which seems to coincide with some of the other events happening so you can swing by both. Score! My concert experiences have been awesome as well. They fit a ton of people in such a small space and the acoustics are actually pretty darn good. I agreed with Katie R that parking here can be a bit of a b!@tch, but just know that you may have to walk a couple blocks or carpool with you friends. We live in Denver, we all don't mind a bit of walking right? ;-) read more

I always have a great time here and I'm always stunned by how transformative the space is, depending on what kind of event they are doing. All the bartenders and staff are really nice... if you are going to an event here, guessing it's going to be a great time. read more

Great event center. Don't know exactly what goes into planning a giant event but Fizz Fest crushed it. Easy entrance. Not too packed.

I've been here three times, all for awesome events [Firemen' s calendar promo ,Denver Fashion weekend's fashion show & most recently Unwined! ] and i really dig this venue. -Large and spacious space. perfect for all kinds of events! -Super nice staff & volunteers -Nice outdoor space, perfect for food trucks! -Clean and tidy venue :) The only downside about here, is parking is a bitch. with no lot, it's all street parking, so be prepared to walk a few blocks or pay for a cab! read more

Came here for a lululemon practice event. It's in the north side of rino in the industrial part. Parking can be hard to come by but depending on your event they may have rented lots. Overall not a bad place to host an event. Seems like you're allowed to decorate and bring in whatever caterers you'd like. read more

I am reviewing this for Roll Denver, which is the roller skating event. Someone told us about this 'warehouse' down the street so we rode our bikes and came across it. We had absolutely no idea what we were getting into. Long story short, by the time we made it inside we were floored that it was a roller rink! What a surprise! My first instinct was to grab a drink, served in sippy cups by the way, and to watch for a bit and leave. My friend decided we were actually going to skate! To get skates, it took maybe 10 minutes for $5. It might have been the best $5 spent in a long time. I felt like I was 10 years old again skating around to 80s music. I had an absolute blast! And to be able to drink while skating was a complete bonus! It's really everything you'd ever want- skating and drinking without kids!! Loved it! read more

This place is bush league when it comes to show venues. Yes it is a large space but that doesn't translate into a good venue. - The sound quality is not great. Not sure the issue but it doesn't sound nearly as good as other venues in town. - The drink situation is ridiculous. The lines takes atleast 15 minutes to get through and they don't even have draft beer. It's also over priced, even for a show. I'm usually not one to complain about booze prices but I felt a little violated. - It seemed over sold to me. I get selling out and wanting to get people in the door ... but getting too many people in there seems to bring diminishing returns. Too many people equals you cant move around and the bar lines are outrageous. I don't see myself coming back to this venue for a show ... it would have to be one hell of a band for me to deal with this place again. read more

Was just here for Alkaline Trio and Bayside. Parking was kind of a pain, but there is plenty of street available, which is great (read: free). Security outside was fine, moved the line along pretty quickly and appreciated the fact that they actually had security for so many people. The bars were put in sort of strange places, and there was not a real line to speak of (next time, I think maybe a couple tension barriers might help). They did have free water off to the side of the bars, though, which was great. The venue itself is just sort of a big warehouse, which doesn't make for the best acoustic experience, but I was near the front and only noticed it when I was in back checking out the merch. I saw disruptive fans talked to, and removed if it continued, which I also appreciated. The security up front had no problems catching crowd surfers and making sure everyone was having a good time. It's not gonna blow any minds, but I think this is certainly a serviceable venue for a large crowd. I'd go to another show here. read more

Every experience I've had with working with EXDO has been so seamless and easy. From set-up to clean up they handle it with ease. In addition, the event coordinator, Ching, is so accommodating and eager to help out with any question, event idea, concern. But what I really most about EXDO is the community events they provide Denver. At reasonable costs, you can find anything going on at EXDO. Whether it's a $5 roller skating party or the final Friday drag night - there really sing something exciting going on. Sure, it's not a low key, dive bar where you just go to grab a beer on a Monday night - but the event production here is worth seeing and experiencing. It's a huge warehouse for every event dream to come true. They even work consistently with non-profits, which is admiral business move that should always be recognized. read more

We did not even know this Event Center was here. What a great place for an event! It is large and very clean. We attended a Yelp event here, and I have to say I was really surprised at the great location and parking. It is in an industrial warehouse area and you really wouldn't know it was here if you drove by. The most impressive thing was the very clean and modern restrooms. I sure didn't expect that. We will definitely come back here if an event we are looking to attend is hosted here. Sound system was awesome as well. read more

This review is for the Exdo Annex at 3090 Downing Street. We held our wedding reception here this past weekend and I can not say enough about how wonderful the event was. We worked with Ching, who did an amazing job working within our limited budget and making it work! The venue is really lovely and classy with an awesome dance floor and outdoor patio. The food was fantastic and we continue to get compliments. The staff was amazing and the bartenders were super generous! We had a couple of hiccups (as any event of this type will) but the staff did an amazing job of addressing them right away and making it all work. I'll definitely be looking to this group for our next event!!! read more

Bartending staff is always under staffed at every event I've ever been at here. Laughably long lines at every bar. Basically a warehouse with friendly staff but the events are severely hampered by lack of employees. Ruins every event...cash bar or open bar. Nightmare every time. Very poorly run operation. read more

I came here last night to see a fantastic band, unfortunately the hearing part of the experience was somewhat diminished. It actually reminded me of the places we went to see garage bands in high school, sad to say. The Exdo center is a massive open warehouse. Wide open space with bars against the back walls. The sound quality is pretty bad. I tried repositioning myself a few times to see if it was a matter of my proximity to the stage and speakers, but no, it really was just poor all over. The other major downside was the bars. There's several bar tending stations to grab drinks, but it's simply a giant cluster of people. I missed almost half a set waiting to get a beer, and I got in line right after one band was done. Over 45 minutes. There's no order at all, the venue should try roping it off, because what happened was people just snuck in somewhere trying to get served. The bartenders were just too slow, it was complete chaos, and the prices were far too high. There's also no food or tap beer. In the plus column, security was on their game. They were spaced out well throughout the venue and I saw two fights that got shut down and the idiots removed immediately with almost no interruption for the crowd trying to enjoy the show. Still, between the sound and the bar situation, which I must say was simply inexcusable, I really don't plan on coming here again. read more

Roller night is fun! Drag Nation is usually pretty good! The Jackalope Arts & Craft fair was absolutely awesome! There is plenty of room to dance and waiting for a drink doesn't take that long. The drinks are super strong so you don't need that many. But the bartenders seem to act like you are bother. Seriously don't be a bartender if you are going to roll your eyes if someone asks for something. I don't know what their problem is... rant over. Taxis go fast so call for one ahead with your name on it. There is some street parking but it runs out quickly. read more

There's a few neat things about this space if you're considering using it for an event. The layout is very very open which lends to a better shared experience for everyone, and it you want to create some anti-rooms off to the side they can accommodate pretty much whatever you need. There's a large open space that serves as a great dance floor, and the perimeter can hold a dozen or so food and booze tables as well as a number of couches and lounge areas. Conversely, there's some odd things about this place. First of all is the location. I've lived here for many years and there's still a stigma about 5 points. It's getting better, but for the uppity crowd, they will turn away pretty quickly when they see where it is. Then there's the lack of signage guiding you to the front entrance. It was 2 degrees the night I came here and I circled the building almost twice before seeing someone go in a side entrance that apparently is the main one. Inside the bathrooms are split up oddly, with the men's being on the left side of the stage and the women's being to the right and far back. The entrance could use some work if you're trying to queue lots of people through ticketing and coat check. It got very congested. They also have this very odd back (secret) bar that has three bartenders bored to tears and no customers. Similarly there is a main bar off to the right that wasn't up and running during our event. read more

We held a corporate event here and were very disappointed with the lack of professionalism and disorganization of our event planner on site. Accounting at the bar wasn't accurate, our contact was nowhere to be found during the event and the AV "tech" instructed me to run the computer during the presentation because he hadn't been given any guidance prior. I don't know if the guests noticed the glitches but for those of us staffing the event, it was a nightmare and by far the worst experience I've ever had with a venue. read more

What a fun space for an event! I attended the Chef and Brew festival here, which included pairing by local breweries and restaurants. The space was huge and accommodated over 20 vendors easily with tons of space to walk around. I loved the industrial feel of it too with those very prominent chandeliers. While I took a lyft here from Union Station, there seemed to be ample parking as well. I would certainly check out more events here in the future. I think the Denver Flea market is located here as well. read more

Very nice warehouse venue with great acoustics. We were here for the Pancakes and Booze art show. Very clean with a efficient layout and surprisingly clean bathroom. I can see this place packed with a more mainstream show but overall was impressed. read more

First time ever being at this event center for the Beer and Bacon Festival! What a great event! I felt that it was organized and set up very well! They could have had more places to sit though, but over all what a great turn out! I don't think I have ever eaten so much bacon in one sitting. The options they had to pick from were all delicious, everything from Bacon bread putting to Bacon corn dogs and even Bacon ice Cream! The beer selection was just as good from what I tasted. They had all the food on one side and the beer on the other. So it was easy to find a drink and then go find some food. They give you one plastic small cup and you get a pretty awesome spork you can keep as a remembrance of the event. I can't wait till next years! read more

I went for the booze and pancake event and it was so amazing! Hot fresh pancakes being served, love DJ laying with trippy video on the screen, and incredible artists painting and showcasing their amazing work! I got to meet local artist while enjoying the atmosphere. Also got a free shirt :) so much going on at the event. It was such an unforgettably experience! Please have more events like this! read more

Thanks to the Yelp Factory Fete for reminding me to do a review! I have been to EXDO several times for many different types of events. Concerts, fundraisers, ping pong... It is a large, cavernous space but the folks at EXDO can really make it into anything you want. From large concert mosh-pit, to classy sit down dinner, to dance floor and bars... it is a versatile space. I have had some really good interactions with management and overall, a great experience at EXDO! read more

Great space, great staff/volunteers. Nice open space! Did a great job for the Fireman Calendar Event, the only problem was the sound system. Clean bathrooms, and very organized layout! read more

Came to this venue for the Yelp Factory Fete event. It's a big open space with a checkered dance floor. For the Warhol theme of the event, the venue covered the walls with tin foil, which added a really cute touch. There's at least one bar in the corner, possibly two. The stage has huge screens and the DJ is on an elevated platform. I wouldn't recommend this venue for say, a wedding, but it would be great for a party or any other non-formal event. There was plenty of parking and it was easy to find. I'll definitely keep this spot in mind if I ever need to book a venue! read more

I've attended several events and participated in one. First, I consider it irresponsible to not offer free tap water when alcohol is being served. It's not caring for your patrons' well-being. I have learned to bring my own water in my car whenever attending to avoid dehydration if I don't want to charge $3.50 to my cc for tap water. Second, in the event I participated in, despite very clear instructions from the planner the event center was not prepared at all. They did not provide seating to the event performers in the changing areas or the setup for performance. I would not want to work with the Exdo center for event planning...it sounded like a nightmare. Third, kuddos to whomever cleans. The bathrooms were clean read more

The girl at the door was awesome!! I had an absolute blast here for a Flying Lotus 3D show. The staff here was great, drinks weren't expensive, the restrooms very very clean.. I can't wait to come back here!! read more

The actual space at the exdo center is really spacious and great for events. I have been here for a couple of occasions, one being the yelp factory fete event which was amazing! Twice I have been for the roller-skating, the first time was almost a year ago and I believe it was run by a different company because it has changed drastically since then. It is now Roll Denver and it offered every third Friday. Overall, I give this event 3 and half stars because there is major opportunity for improvement. After you fight the long line to get in you are prompted to get on your phones and sign a liability form (hopefully I didn't just sign away my first born because I just went through the prompts) you then go through three different people and get two different stamps THEN you get to point where you pay...which was a fair price of $5 that includes your skates. Once you are through that line you wait in another line to get your skates! Now, it was late when we arrived so it might be better if you get there earlier the 11:30pm. We decided to forgo the line and grab skates that were being returned since there was just piles of skates everywhere and no organization. After that it is skate time!! What I miss from the first time I went is that they actually had sippy cups that you put your booze in this time around they just gave us plastic cups with a lid and straw. Once on the "skate arena" which basically circles around the center of the room...you have to be careful and fall from the many divots on the ground...and avoid people colliding, falling in front of you. Personally, I think it is a great time familiarizing myself to my favorite childhood pastime! They just need to pull it together and make it more organized. read more

Always a fun time/experience at Exdo event center. I'll even dare to say that every event has been MAGICAL. :-)

I'm new to Denver, so I asked several Denver natives about this venue and no one knew about it. I guess that's because they only recently started doing concerts. Saw the Dirty Heads there last night. The space is nothing special, in fact, it really feels like a convention center and not a concert venue. The best thing about it though, is that there are several bars. There never seems to be a long wait for drinks. What they didn't do well, however, was the bathroom situation. The mens room is on the left side of the stage, while the women's room is on the right. I was watching the show from the front left of the stage, so if you do the math, I had a long annoying trip that consisted of dodging drunk people as I had to walk all the way around. Parking was pretty annoying, but, parking always is. My main concern was that lots of the side streets were very dark. read more

I'm reviewing the EXDO Event Center for the Raise the Macallan whiskey tasting event. They did an excellent job of making this event very luxurious and intimate. I'd never been to EXDO before this and would never guess that it's a large event hall. Prior to getting seated, we were offered small snacks and had the opportunity to have our pictures taken. For the actual whiskey tasting, they had leather couches and tables set up in front of the stage making it feel casual but high end which I thought was a great setup. read more

My work had a party here during Roller Prom, and we all had a BLAST! It was SO cheap to get in (free before 10pm!), and only $5 for roller skates! They have the roller rink in the back, and Karaoke towards the front. The roller rink isn't the biggest I've ever seen, and the floor has some cracks and stuff (somewhat dangerous for the novice roller skater), but it's a ton of fun! They have a bar in the roller rink room, as well as the Karaoke room. They'll even sell you sippy cups so you don't spill stuff all over the floor, for $3 extra of course:) I hear that they do themed roller skating nights once/month, and count me in! read more

This review is about their Customer Service, but not about the space itself. I had planned to have my wedding in Estes Park on 9/14, but extreme flooding and a lack of communications made it difficult to know what was going on in Estes. So, by the evening of 9/12, we were scrambling to find new venues. I sent MANY emails and made MANY phone calls. EXDO was a reference from a friend, and they immediately began putting the wheels into motion to see if they could do something for us that wouldn't inflate our budget too much. We did not wind up having our wedding here because we had to find space in a very short period of time, and EXDO had another event scheduled that needed to formally cancel, but I hope to be able to plan something in their space in the future. I would love to work with them again. read more

This place is a piece of shit. High cover prices, with ever increasing drink prices. I don't even pay this shit in LA. Don't bother coming to their events, it's just a bunch of promoters looking to exploit gay money. read more

The Five Points Cultural District Rotary club held our Rolling for Rotary Roller Skating Fundraiser at EXDO. We could not have asked for a more pleasant experience and successful fundraiser. The EXDP staff was more than helpful in the planning and execution of this event. We look forward to working with them again in the near future for further fundraising events. read more

We held our corporate summer event at the EXDO center and it was a success. We brought in catered food and used the facility bar/games/AV. We had some minor miscommunications with the onsite staff but the event manager responded quickly and the service recovery was impressive. We will definitely use the event center again. read more
