This place has the trappings of an authentic honky-tonk. It has the size, wooded areas, dueling mechanical bulls, gift store, wraparound bar, kitchen, banquet room, etc. I love the rich history of musicians who have played here over the decades, shown in framed, autographed photos covering all of the walls. The Grizzly Rose takes pride in providing live country music, five nights per week. During my visit on a Saturday night, I enjoyed listening and dancing to the music of Duey & Unbroken. The 40,000 square feet of this country dance hall is impressive. Surprisingly, only 2,500 square feet is allocated to the dance floor. This is too small for the demand placed on it during a Saturday night. The front half of the dance floor is devoted to country swing dancing, while the back half is reserved for line dancing. This leaves no room for progressive partner dancing, i.e., two-step (as is normal across Texas). Country swing could not have been the prevailing form of partner dancing here since the inception of this honky-tonk in 1989. So, what year did it displace two-step? I enjoyed the line dance lesson at 7 p.m., followed by the country swing dance lesson at 8:15 p.m. Strangely, two-step is how the opening pattern taught for country swing, before it abruptly switches to country swing. Yet, they refer to all of this as country swing. This supports my suspicion that country swing hijacked two-step at some point in the history of this honky-tonk. If this is how locals here are brought up on country dancing, they're in for a surprise, if and when they go to honky-tonks across Texas, where two-step prevails. Given how crowded the dance floor gets, they might consider expanding it by another 1,000 feet or more. Then it might be possible to spare enough room on the perimeter to bring back progressive partner dancing (two-step, three-step, partner cowboy cha-cha, etc.). The main seating and walkways are concrete ground, which can wear on your feet. Therefore, I doubt the average person lasts more than a few hours of dancing before throwing in the towel. read more

The Grizzly Rose - Dueling mechanical bulls - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I used to love the Grizzly Rose, but the last two or three years have seen such an increase in the crowd that I won't be going back. The dance floor is filled with wall to wall people like a standing room only concert and when that is full they jam themselves into the areas around the tables. Grizzly Rose needs to seriously lower their "sold out" status by at least a hundred people. The drinks are also expensive. I seriously don't know what the draw is anymore - no room to dance and expensive beer. I won't be going back. read more

I love this bar- do not go to a concert, the acoustics were horrible. just went to the Rodney Atkins concert- best part was the pre played country music that you could understand. what a disappointment he may as well have been singing Swedish read more

I had such a fun night here! We were visiting from out of town and wanted to go line dancing, so we found this spot after hearing some good things about it. The vibes were good, everyone was so friendly which I loved because sometimes people can be a little standoffish to visitors. But everyone was kind, and there were so many great dancers. They have 2 mechanical bulls, a few little games, a store, and I think even more activities in the back. The music was good and the dance floor was packed but not in a bad way. Great spot! read more

Grizzly Rose is a fun filled, entertaining Country Bar with live music. 4-5 bars spread around. Friendly, fast bar service. Booze is marked up though. Food menu is lacking with only pizza and chicken tenders. Beer galore. There was plenty of security to deal with a customer who had medical emergency (BRAVO--Well done. ...and for keeping any unruly drunks in check. Yeah. My main gripe: Doors at 6pm. Music at 8pm. Well, the music started at 7:30pm and the headliner did not show until 9:15 or 9:30pm. Standing Room only unless you knew to get there at 6:00pm and eat off limited menu and drink more. -- It was a late night at the Grizzly Rose. read more

Every time I go to the Grizzly Rose it's a great time I've had the food which is basic bar food. It's still delicious. The bar is so big that they have so many bartenders behind the bar so service is definitely great. Never a complaint there bathrooms are fully stocked and cleaned, which is a big plus for me I love that there is so many staff members out there helping each other out on the floor to clear tables and make sure everybody is comfortable.... i've seen a lot of concerts at the Grizzly Rose. I have always had a great great time definitely five stars. Thanks For The Read Until Next Time.... read more

The Grizzly Rose - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! My 22 year old friend was rejected from this bar. Not only did she show 3 separate forms of ID they gave it back to her (which shows he knew it was real and just wanted a power trip) but the bouncer also referred to her as a retard. I have worked in the service industry for 8+ years and I have never been so disappointed in a places management. I am 20 years old and tried to go to this place on a family night which is all ages and I tried to bring my big in my sorority who is 2 years older than me and and is LEGALLY 22!! While i appreciate their vigilance for underage drinkers this girl was not only of age but also showed THREE separate forms of ID (drivers license, picture of passport and boaters license). The bouncer took it to the back and got it checked by multiple people. If it was taken for VALID REASON they truly thought her ID was fake he would've taken it back and swiped it. The stupid bouncer knew it was real brought it back and gave it back to her for a POWER TRIP. If it was fake they would have rejected her but they didn't which shows IT WAS REAL AND THEY STILL REJECTED HER!! FOR A POWER TRIP! This is the most unprofessional and terrible experience I have EVER had!! This is a terrible bar and I can't emphasize enough how terrible it was. There was one bouncer who was nice and gave me my Xs (because i told him i was underage!) and he said the way my friend was treated was rediculus (the way the other bouncer treated us)I tried to call as soon as it happened because this is unacceptable but i was connected to a host. This host was incredible I believe her name was venessa and she handled the situation very well and was amazing, but i was on the phone for 20 minutes and was not connected to a manager!! NOT VANESSA'S FAULT! but the fact they can't talk to customers on an important night is disgusting. I am absolutely appalled by this experience and I can't discourage you enough to go to this place. This was the bouncer with the mullet and he was incredibly unprofessional and rude and HORRIBLE. I never complain and I don't even have the Yelp app but I felt so incredibly upset by this experience that I had to download the app for this. Absolutely horrible bouncer and I hope you are professional enough to reach out to me and fix this this. read more

Drinks are insanely over priced and I tried to request three different country songs from the DJ that were all top 10 popular line dance dances and got told that the manager doesn't like this songs so they wouldn't play them. I don't really give a crap what the manager likes. I'm the one paying a cover charge to come in there and buy their overpriced drinks so we get to play the music that we request not with the manager wants stupid nonsense won't be back. read more

I absolutely do not trust the person that says they "watch" all 30 drinks that are left on the barrels outside of the bathroom. Do you know have many people that walk past those drinks or could pick it up and put it back down because it's the "wrong drink" or quickly drop something in one? Also my friend who is 20 years old and is a few days away from turning 21 was accused of "scrubbing" the x's of her hands. What would the reason be to do so? We paid 50 for tickets, there is a worker IN THE BATHROOM as well, and the main band hadn't even come on yet. We were absolutely livid when we were asked to leave because the X's were fading away. I will not be coming back, the staff was very rude and disrespectful, you are assigned a stall in the bathroom and a worker watches to make sure there isn't 2 people in a stall and you have to leave your drinks outside. I paid to come to have a night out not to be back in grade school. read more

My first time ever coming here and the guard outside who pays you down is very rude. Second you walk in and where you supposedly get a wrist band didn't get one and got yelled at halfway through my night didn't know I needed one. And the first time going up to the bar he was very rude yelling at everyone telling us we need to know what we want before even trying to approach him. And the second time just got yelled at by the same guy for taking a receipt like my bad dude there's a better way of asking. Other than that the music was good I can't give it a higher rating right now read more

Alright, had to check this place out. Stopped by on Friday night. First thing as soon as you walk in "boom" $10 cover. Most bars/ clubs everywhere I go to offer a veterans discount but not this place. $10 bucks.... anyways after this we made our way to the bar, bar staff was slammed, however, you can be busy and be courteous. A female bartender shut me down and literally stared at me for 5 seconds and ignored me and walked off after I asked for a white claw and a coors light.... Like ok cool. Then I got myself a couple shots with another bartender and bought a "bride to be a shot", and it was straight dog water.... Like it was not even a second pour. Them completely filled with redbull. Like they have to be killing it here revenue wise completely screwing over customers. I would have to say, I would pass. Band was pretty decent but place overall was trendy as hell. I like dive country bars and usually don't mind places like this, but damn.... Yeah, I'll take myself somewhere where they actually appreciate patrons. read more

This place is a good damn time! Went for ladies night for the first time ever recently. The free drinks are good and small but we're easy to get a refill. They didn't have a free beer that night which was a bummer. Female bartenders were bitchy but probably because most girls don't tip on free nights which is a sin, tip on your free drinks ladies! The music was excellent and the dancing was fun! Don't know a line dance? Just stand near the best person on the floor and copy their moves. We paid $5 to ride the bull but it went so slow that you either fall off immediately when it turns to the side at slow motion, like me, or you stay on for a while, like my husband, but it's more of a sexy bull ride which is a little awkward lol. Can't wait to go back for dancing fun! read more

A great venue to see some of country's great acts both established and up and coming. While seating is a bit limited, there isn't a bad view in the house. They feature a large dance floor, multiple bars, and even some food (which we did not try on our visit) The service was wonderful and the bartenders were slinging out drink's quickly to help keep lines of people from piling up. Also if you open a tab you can get drinks at any of the bars in the building which is convenient, and there is no price gouging here drinks are very reasonable. The sound for both the opening band and main act were great as well. Loud but not so loud you couldn't communicate. Overall, I can't wait until the next act I want to see comes to Grizzly Rose! Overall I can't read more

The Grizzly Rose - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Came here for a concert on a Saturday night and it was popping!! I was very lucky and came with a family member of the artist so we were treated to our own reserved table and thus avoided the crowded dance floor (the show was sold out). That said, trying to figure out where to go to get our wristbands felt like an epic quest, which seemed kind of silly. But hey, we made it. The drinks were kinda pricey for what you got, but that's inflation for yah. The number of bars made it pretty easy to get a drink with minimal wait time. Bathrooms and other areas were kept clean given how busy it was, which can be a challenge for crowded venues. Parking was plentiful enough, much needed given the location. On the whole I enjoyed myself and would like to come back and check out the other attractions they offer on non-concert nights, especially the mechanical bull. Yee-haw! read more

So, this place is a whole bunch of nostalgic for me! I loved visiting this time! It has been a decade since I last was in The Rose and now I'm thinking I need to make this a weekly occurrence. I also think Wednesdays are my vibe. It's a free entry and you get a free two-step lesson in the middle of the floor or you can opt to go to the back studio and pay $5 for an hour long lesson in which we learned the cowboy Cha Cha. I think $5 for a full hour was a great deal. If you don't want to pay, you still have a free two-step lesson in the middle! The Grizzly Rose has many bar areas to grab drinks and also offers food like pizza! There are two bulls to ride if you wish, billiards, arcade games, etc.! So, it's a great entertainment spot! Ladies, if you're looking for FREE drinks, go on a Thursday when ladies drink for free. I haven't been back on a Thurs, so I'll have to report back when I do. But, I was loving the low key vibes of a Wednesday and the dancing! I'll be back most definitely! Plus, the live music is awesome! read more

The Grizzly Rose - the interior of the restaurant - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Huge place! As an out of towner, I heard this was a good place to check out if you like country dancing. The dance floor is sizable and there's plenty of room to line dance and two step and country swing simultaneously, and folks are pretty respectful of each other's space on the dance floor. There's a ton to do here from arcade games, pool, dueling bulls, lasso room, Photo Booth, and a bar that serves food as well as drinks. I wouldn't come back to Denver just for this bar, but I'd consider coming back again. I was told the guy to girl ratio here is noticeable (weighing heavily on male), and that held true. Would like to try ladies night next time! TLDR; big dance floor and good for country dancing. read more

Ladies night to catch up! We went early at 7pm so we could just talk before the crowd came and noise level went up. Ladies night drinks start at 8pm with free well drinks. We sat at a high top and eventually took two as they only allow four chairs per table. You can stand around and be more than 4 people but you can only have four chairs. It was so fun to listen to the dj and they also had a live band which was pretty good. They played a mix of original and cover songs. We enjoyed visiting and catching up. Parking lot behind is a larger lot than the one right in front of the building. Tried the pizza for the first time on the recommendation of the guy working the floor. It was pretty good and at $3.50 a slice not a bad price. Had lots of fun as always. Bring cash as sometimes the credit card machine is finicky. They do have an ATM. read more

I have contacted them multiple times via website, email, Facebook and Instagram over the course of several weeks and no one will get back to me. They also flat out have refused to accommodate me as a Deaf person which is a direct violation of the ADA as they are a concert venue. I would not recommend this place. read more

horrible. stopped everyone i was with and questioned IDs with an additional item of proof (which was no where indicated on a website, at this point what is the point of an ID). was rude and disrespectful. brought 21 year olds along with underage IDs to review and were unsure of themselves if they were "real". bouncer accused others of intervening and "needing to mind their own business" since she "worked for this bar for 10 years." one bouncer was forced to apologize to someone i was with since she truly was 21 years old. read more

legit the rudest staff i've ever dealt with. my group of 10 friends is on spring break from college and 4 of us are 21 and 6 of us are 20. the staff bearded my friends that are 21 saying their ids were fake and forced them to provide a birth certificate or passport to be let in (so if ur 21 and out of state don't expect just your ID to let you in!!!). they didn't have their passport (obviously, who takes that to the bar). me and my friends that are 20 made one comment about how this is ridiculous how rude they were being to our 21 yr old friends when the lady shined her light in our face and yelled at us to mind our business. they need to maybe figure out how to spot a fake ID from a real ID and not be that rude to people of age.! read more

The Grizzly Rose - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The Grizzly Rose is an UH-MAZING country western bar! As soon as I walked in it reminded me of a fictional bar called the Double Deuce from the movie ROADHOUSE. RIP Patrick Swayze! the Grizzly Rose has live music and they serve food. No food for me this trip. They have many beers and have a few house drinks. Very reasonable prices. There is dancing , some couples were amazing. It can get loud , so talking through your mask is tough if you chose to keep it on. Not too many people doing that , don't hate , just know that if you don't want it to be an issue , then don't go, that simple. That's sort of hard when you're drinking cocktails. There are doorman , didn't have any issues getting in. It gets busy as it gets late. Parking is free in the lot and surrounding. I'll definitely be back ! read more

I wanted to like this place, but this one extremely rude bartender killed the vibe so fast! He acted super annoyed at us for even walking up to his line and then held up his hand in signal that he needed money for our shots. (Clearly!!!! My friend was getting her card out of her purse and he was rushing her) We paid and while we were grabbing our shots off the counter and signing the receipt he screamed "NEXT NEXT, OVER HERE NEXXXXTTTT, NEXT IN LINE." and looked directly at us like we were taking forever to walk away. And there wasn't even a line behind us! I read multiple reviews about this one bartender- and this guy NEEDS TO GO. Will not be back because of our interaction with this guy. read more

Been here one other time with no problem, but this last time was a different experience. My husband and I came here for a concert and with the time gap between the doors opening and the show starting, this allows for a lot of alcohol to be consumed. We unfortunately found a table and a group of three drunk guys sat behind us who continuously would not leave us alone, threw a drink on a lady behind us because she did not appreciate being groped by them and just wanted to pick a fight. We told security on a number of occasions what was happening and what we witnessed. Barry and his security staff couldn't be bothered with this news let alone do anything about it. We witnessed them grope 2 other girls, but again nothing was done about it. After this experience, I definitely do not feel safe in this venue. The bartenders are super nice so I didn't think it was fair to give a 1 star based on this experience. read more

"There's a place I know called, The Grizzly Rose, where all is country folk like to go....." Buckstein sang it right and now I'm obsessed with the Grizzly Rose song, mechanical bull riding, and line dancing. This place is a must see spot in Denver even if your not a huge country fan, it's an experience. They have two mechanical bulls side by side to compete with your friends, multiple bars, line dancing, a ropin' room and 6 night a week they have a different event or special. Flying from Phoenix to Denver every weekend is even more worth it when you know you're seeing live music from your favorite country artist at the Grizzly Rose! I have seen four concert this month and every time I'm up front stage left singing country songs with my friends and the artists themselves. Never have I ever NOT had the best time at the Grizzly Rose. read more

First of all, I met 1 bartender out of 5 that was a quality person. The other 4 gave me a stink eye because I'm out of state, which they could tell from my ID. Next, let's just call out the fact that my buddy had to take a call that was an emergency and they wouldn't let him back in without paying a cover. Following that, they were giving him guff for his shirt not being buttoned up enough. Granted, they let us back in, but still... Oh, and it gets better... my friend has prescription sunglasses that he needs for both flashing light sensitivity and the ability to see. They told him to take them off. They were like "it's a liability to wear sunglasses." Me, being in the legal practice said "it's also a liability to not be able to see. If he had his prescription on him, we could take you to court in our state and yours." Following that, they were hovering around us like vultures to intimidate us. It's sad and hilarious to me they don't understand establishment law in their own state and try to intimate a group of 12 people rather than just talk to us or kick us out. I'm disappointed in what I thought would be a decent night. Avoid. read more

Warning--- I purchased tickets for Diamond Rio and tested positive for Covid. I felt fine for the most part and could have easily went and no one would have known but decided that would not be the right thing to do morally considering it affects everyone differently and would hate to pass that on. I contacted the venue letting them know I had Covid and that I didn't feel right about going and simply asked if they could trade me two tickets to a future concert and they said and emphatic no and no refunds on any tickets. I didn't ask for a refund- simply a different show to go to and would be happy to pay the difference if there was one. I responded back to the email sharing my disappointment and that it wasn't about the money but the principle that a venue who gives out tickets and comps all the time wouldn't try to make it right for someone who was honest. It's bad enough I missed my favorite band but the fact that they didn't try to make an effort makes me have zero desire to support them again. Customer service goes a long way- in this case- there was zero and it's a good thing I know what is right or wrong but some people may have decided to go anyways and not say a word- If the venue wants to make it right they can reach out- otherwise they have lost several customers- read more

I've been here on two Wednesdays. The Wednesday without line dancing was pretty chill. Learned some couples dancing. But the Wednesday with line dancing was totally packed. No AC (or that's what it felt like) in the back room for line dancing where they closed us in during the session. We were packed quite tightly in there. I can't imagine how many more people they would try to squeeze in there on a Friday or weekend dance session... It was slightly hard to hear the lady explaining over the mic system, but manageable. The dance itself was pretty fun. The best part was when the whole class dances together with the music at a decent pace. Would have preferred to have practiced with more music throughout the class. We danced it a few times and then the class was suddenly over. read more
