Larimer Lounge

Larimer Lounge has been booking touring indie, punk and electronic acts on this stretch of Larimer since 2003, long before RiNo had a name people used. It is a low-ceilinged room with a small stage, a back patio, and an upstairs called the Treehouse for smaller and free shows. Tickets are cheap and the calendar is dense; on any given week there is something worth walking up from the ballpark for. Two blocks from Ashtanga Yoga Denver, if you are pairing an early morning with a late night.

Why go. Cheap tickets, real bands, most nights of the week.

Check the Treehouse listings for free shows; the patio is the place to be between sets in summer.
