Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom
Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom is located at 2637 Welton Street in the old Casino Cabaret whose history dates back to the Cotton Club days of the 1930s when jazz greats such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Benny Goodman took the stage when they toured through Denver. Over the years the Casino Cabaret has hosted such acts as James Brown, BB King, Ray Charles, Ike & Tina Turner, and countless others. Cervantes’ has continued the musical legacy of the building and neighborhood ever since the grand opening in January 2003. Cervantes’ and The Other Side have played host to thousands of live shows including intimate performances with Chris Robinson (Black Crowes), Derek Trucks, Dr. John, Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, Nas, Big Boi, STS9, Sam Bush, Page McConnell of Phish, Branford Marsalis, and Warren Haynes to name a few. Cervantes’ has two rooms that offer live music simultaneously, Cervantes’ and The Other Side. Each room operates independently of the other but they are connected giving our patrons the ability to venture back and forth between each room. Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom separates itself from other Denver live music venues for a multitude of reasons, but the dual venue feature makes Cervantes’ stand out the most. Cervantes’ holds 900 people and includes a balcony that wraps around the entire room creating a very intimate setting. Cervantes’ incorporates a top of the line sound system, including a Meyer MICALine Array with four boxes per side and six Meyer 650P subs. This arrangement translates into full sound that can be heard throughout the venue from front to back. The Other Side holds 500 people and has equally impressive traits.

RSVP at Whiskey RowOphelia’s Electric Soapbox
They would moan! A little spice never hurt anyone, and Ophelia’s restaurant, bar and live music venue certainly knows how to throw down. This swank Ballpark gem serves up gastrobrothel fare paired with fresh kinks on classic cocktails and neo-old-school hospitality. The building, a Victorian brownstone, was a brothel, sex shop, and peep show before becoming Ophelia’s, and now flaunts its sultry beginnings in a style both cheeky and sex positive. Ophelia’s is a boudoir-chic historical remix and Denver’s sexiest spot to indulge. Ophelia's Electric Soapbox is the name of a well-known music venue and nightclub located in Denver, Colorado. The name itself carries a unique and intriguing vibe, blending elements of literature (Ophelia being a character from Shakespeare's "Hamlet") and a modern, electric, and unconventional touch with "Electric Soapbox." The juxtaposition of the classical literary reference with the contemporary and energetic "Electric Soapbox" suggests a fusion of the old and new, perhaps reflecting the eclectic and vibrant atmosphere one might find at the venue. It's not uncommon for businesses, especially in the entertainment industry, to choose names that evoke a specific mood, theme, or atmosphere to capture the attention and imagination of their audience.

Once the home of Serengeti and Shelter, Bar Standard is an Art Deco-themed, modern-day speakeasy. While the name and look may have changed, the club, housed in the former Jonas Bros. Furs building, still brings in some of the area’s best DJs — who spin house and dance music — as well as more high-profile national DJs. In addition, Bar Standard occasionally brings in live acts like the Cool Kids to perform on a decent-sized stage. The main area of the upscale club fills up quickly on the weekends, but there are two patios, both of which offer gorgeous views of Denver’s skyline, to escape the masses.
