Bender's Tavern

As someone who enjoys smaller shows, this venue is amazing. It's a comfortable venue without too many bells and whistles that has a nice atmosphere and is well thought-out. The music sounds incredible on their funktion-one sound system. I tend to feel overwhelmed when there is an excess of really bright lights at a show, but that is not a problem here. Lights are mellow and the music is played at an appropriate volume (bring earplugs though.) Seriously, come check this spot out. PS: I don't drink alcohol and I was very excited to find out that they have a long list of non-alcoholic options, from sodas, to juices. So thank you for doing that. I feel seen.

I love that The Black Box always has a save environment for me and others around! The staff/security are always so helpful when anything is happening and needing to take action. I go out alone a lot, and there are some weird situations I have ran into. it’s nice to know there are people who care and look out for the community!

The black box is a club like no other. Showcasing the absolute best of bass, from newcomers making a statement or legends doing what they do best, the black box is the only place in Colorado you will be able live the experience proper. Their basscouch Soundsystem is unmatched. The staff and security are always welcoming and super helpful. can't say enough positive things about this staple of Denver.

This is by far my favorite venue I’ve been to in Denver. The staff is incredible and friendly, from FOH/security to bar and beyond. The system is legendary and I knew about it before I even moved here from the east coast. The fact that blackbox not only brings in international artists that sell the venue out but still also have free nights in the lounge and even $10 shows on Tuesdays is a total win. This is a spot for the audiophile like myself (where you can immerse yourself in not only reputable artists but support locals as well) or a chill spot to spend a fun night out with friends without getting too expensive. Nicole has and continues to do an fantastic job. I cannot recommend this place enough.
