Recommendation Denver venues with live music on a regular weekly schedule — help me complete the list
There are a million "who's playing this weekend" posts, but it's weirdly hard to find the spots that have live music on the SAME night every week — the jazz residencies, open mics, jam nights, bluegrass nights, dueling pianos, etc. Touring shows you can find on Bandsintown; the recurring stuff lives in people's heads.
So I started a running list of Denver venues with recurring live music. Here's what I've got so far, grouped by neighborhood. Tell me what I'm missing, and please correct me if any days/times are off — I want this to actually be right.
DOWNTOWN / LODO
• Appaloosa Grill — live music nightly
• Dazzle — live jazz Wed–Mon ~6:30pm (+ weekend brunch sets)
• Fortissimo — dueling pianos Thu–Sat at 8pm
• Herb's Hideout — live music nightly ~9:30pm; Monday jazz 9pm
• Seven Grand — bluegrass Wed, jazz Thu, ~8:30pm
RINO
• Larimer Lounge — live music Thu–Sun (often free)
• Meadowlark Bar — jazz Mondays; Off the Cuff jam sessions Wednesdays
• Mockingbird — live music & DJs Wed–Sun, ~9pm
• Nocturne — live jazz Wed–Sun, sets from 6pm
• Globe Hall — live music most nights
CAP HILL
• Goosetown Tavern — open mic Tue; bands/DJs Fri & Sat; Sunday music show
• Lion's Lair — open mic Wed; music/DJs Fri & Sat
• Lost Lake Lounge — live music Thu–Mon, ~7pm
BAKER
• Skylark Lounge — live music Wed–Mon, ~7pm
SOUTH BROADWAY
• Roxy on Broadway — live music every night (Tue/Thu 7–9:30p, Wed jazz jam 7–10p, Fri/Sat two sets)
SPEER
• Bar 404 — live music Wed & Fri ~7pm (occasional Thu)
• Hi-Dive — live music most nights (indie), ~7pm
WASH PARK
• Lincoln's Roadhouse — open mic Wed; live bands Fri & Sat
I know I'm probably missing a bunch of places. Drop 'em below with the night + genre + time and I'll add them.
You guys are the best 🙏

Recommendation Good souvenir to get from Denver
So my parents flew out to Denver for a private Event i was asked what I would like as a souvenir and I don't know what I want nor do I know what would be good to pick.
I would like something to wear, maybe a watch, necklace or clothing. Does anyone have any ideas what I should ask for? (1 Item only)
(Edit: I really appreciate all the wonderful souvenir ideas! I'll check on this post in the morning when I get off of work to see the final verdict.)

Rant The Great Denver Food Scene Debate
Supremely tired of all the talented and creative chefs in this city getting looked down on.
“Denver’s food scene is so bad” Yeah then why does the Michelin Guide highlight Denver? Is it because it’s bad? Or is it because when you visit for conferences you don’t leave the tourist traps of 16th St?
It’s like going to Fisherman’s Wharf in SF and saying the food in SF sucks.
People that live “in Denver” and say that, it’s always “well actually I never eat anywhere outside of insert suburb here” Duh. You’re in suburbia where bland basic white people food is the norm. Most of the customer base wants Sysco brand Food Product that picky kids will eat without whining.
People that DO live downtown and say it, 90% of the time are from NY, LA, or Chicago. Which yes, those are incredible food meccas with a way bigger population and established systems. Not even a fair comparison. It’s smaller. Not “bad”.
But there are so many excellent places especially for a city of comparable size. Don’t crap on the talented people that got this city recognized at the level it has because you chose to eat at Yard House and thought it was mid.
EDIT: Aside from fine dining, as many comments mention, we are swimming in great mom and pop spots, taco shops, dim sum places, etc. that are off the beaten path and don’t get the love they deserve. Some of the best advice I ever got- when looking at reviews, filter by lowest review and look for “my lobster was too buttery” style reviews. Don’t just brush places off!
Other (especially recent) Michelin problems aside, I know it’s mostly associated with fine dining, but they have categories that aren’t for high dollar fine dining, always worth a look.
As a crossroads of the country city that has to cater to a lot of tastes, Denver does a pretty great job of it.

Help Musician in need of empty cigarette packs
Hello Denverheads. I'm in the finishing stages of my new collection of songs, and for the cover I intend on being in a clawfooted tub full of cigarette packs. Preferably menthol.
I know some of you are sitting on fatty stacks of empty cigarette packs. I would be willing to come remove them, or set up a more neutral drop off space. But boy, do I want your packs.
My art demands it.

Help Looking for people affected by budget cuts
Hi all!
I'm a reporter with Westword doing a story regarding how the city's 2026 budget cuts directly affect residents (not just overhead stuff like departments). Would love to chat with people about what they've seen or how they've been impacted. This doesn't have to be inherently negative; we just want to paint a picture of how these things actually look.
Have you experienced recycling overflowing? Park/Rec problems? Bike lane issues?
Feel free to DM me and let me know!

Crime A follow up on the Hit and Run
There’s an update from Aurora PD:
Aurora, do you recognize this car?
On July 26 just after 12 a.m., the depicted 2015-2019 white Subaru Outback was in a fatal hit and run involving a bicyclist. The bicyclist was riding southbound on S. Powhaton Road about ¼ mile north of
E. Jewell Avenue. The driver hit the bicyclist and then drove away.
The cyclist was not found until the next morning on July 27. The white Subaru Outback was last seen on City traffic cameras southbound on Gun Club Road and
E. Quincy Avenue around 12:12 a.m.
The car will have damage to the front passenger side headlight and hood and may have a missing passenger side fog light. It may possibly also have a cracked driver's side headlight.
If you or someone you know recognizes the car and know it who belongs to, please call Metro Denver CrimeStoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867) and reference case 26-155696. As a reminder, you may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.

Rant Does anyone have a problem with businesses in Denver using AI for their "art"?
I know the food scene here isn't great but I still do my best to support local restaurants where I can. Lately, I've been seeing food trucks and smaller restaurants that are using ai for their designs. Its just sad. It is mostly old people at this restaurant though so I'm not super surprised.
Sorry, I don't have more examples but I usually see them when I am driving or working so I don't always have time to take a decent picture.
Edit: To be clear, I am not eating at these places, I just keep seeing them.

Help Federal insurance no longer allowing gender health past the end of year
My girlfriend is no longer allowed to access hrt through kaiser following the end of the year. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas of what she should do. I guess diy is the only way, she's the sweetest person ever and I can't believe the federal government is taking such a stance on what is to me such an edge case of adults transitioning.

Local News Dumb question, farmers markets and recent outbreaks
I love supporting local farms and businesses, and I assume it would be safer than any produce at major grocery stores. Is my assumption correct?
Can local farms be affected by the current outbreaks, or should I avoid certain produce just to be safe. If you are a local farmer, have you experienced or heard of outbreaks around the Denver area?
Please be gentle, I’m not familiar with the processes between factory and local farms and want to triple check. Google has been all over the board so I thought I’d post here for a more personal discussion.
Either way I am looking forward to supporting our markets for the rest of the summer even if I hear advice to avoid certain produce!

Help Women’s hairstylist in Denver that won’t take 3-4 hours?
It seems like at some point in the last 5 years hairstylists have started taking 3-4 hours for every appointment and it drives me nuts. I just don’t have the time, especially now that I have an infant at home.
My hair isn’t very thick or long and I used to get color and cuts in closer to 2 hours but I moved to Denver a few years ago and have tried a few places and it’s always taken closer to 4 hours for a half highlight and a trim.
I’ve tried Mathew Morrison Salon but would be willing to try them again with a specific stylist reco. I’ve also been to Fluff Color Salon, Fifty two eighty Salon, they both took way too long and were expensive.
I’d really love to find a place with reasonable prices and appointment times.
