Im pretty disappointed... you have to constantly wear your mask now even to dance. I used to love going to the Stampede, now its not nearly as fun. I hope things get better soon!!@

I love country dancing here on Wednesday nights! Lessons are $5 cash and go from 6:30-7:30 pm. The rest of the night is a combination of line dancing, two stepping, and the Cowboy Cha Cha (known in SoCal as the Denver Cha Cha). Ladies drink free from 7-11 pm (I believe those are the hours) on Wednesdays. Check the website for other country nights, Wednesday is the only consistent night. Theres usually some kind of food for sale too if you need dinner... no promises. Some of the line dances here can be pretty complicated, but in my opinion that makes them more fun once you learn them. Theres definitely some easier dances though and the lessons as I already mentioned. If you see a girl doing one arm pushups during the wobble come say hi

I came here for Hearsecon, but it was a little underdeveloped. Not too many stalls or hearses. Decent interior location though. Lots of space...for activities. Personnel were well mannered and easy going.

This place is by far the most racist place in Aurora. I have never been told I am not chicano enough until I went there. We paid the cover then heard that and left. This place is only for those that are anti any race including their own.

Used to be the perfect country bar - great music, easy to get to, decent prices, great dance floor. Now it’s seemingly always Mexican night, with no more country, and nothing but awful Mexican music. Went from 5 stars to 1 star almost overnight. What a shame.

I did not like pure northern music all night, everything is very expensive, and the woman at the entrance is not friendly, the bathrooms very dirty, and there is no way to sit down to drink your beer..

I basically live here on Wednesday nights! Biggest dance floor in Denver! The staff is great. I think they are trying to do better with the food now with a new owner. The bathrooms and back deck need some work and hopefully they get around to that. That being said I really enjoy coming here on Wednesdays and hope they provide more country events to make it a place I go to on the weekends.

The girl at the front taking the cover fee was extremely rude and had a bad attitude. I was extremely displeased with the vibe she put off. Not the first face I wanna see walking to a bar to have a good time, she needs a attitude adjustment and a new job . Other than that I always have fun here.

I was in Colorado for the weekend and attended this place for El Fantasma. It was lit ayeeeeee! Had a blast, and appreciated that bathroom lines weren’t that long, bar was pretty busy but that understandable. Lots of parking space, and the whole parking space area, town area and inside felt safe, which I love. Would definitely visit again!

Incidentally saw the calendar for country dance lessons on the Stampede website. As beginner without any country dance background, we were very nervous. But, Kevin and Pat are the BEST instructors, personal, professional, and caring. Their excellent patience and teaching style made us feel that we are OK. We have been going every Friday for almost one month now, loving it and will definitely continue going and learning country dance. Hopefully someday we can find time to go the Wednesday night line dance as well!!Will highly recommend Kevin and Pat to anyone at any dance level!!

I used to love coming here to get my country music and dance fix. But the venue changed. NOW ITS A HISPANIC HIP HOP TEJANO BAR! PLEASE CHANGE THE NAME!.Its NOT a country bar, though they do pander to country fans for a few hours one night a week. Shame... They really should change the name from Stampede to something else that will honestly reflect the change from Country Music to Hip Hop and Tejano. Note there is nothing wrong with what it is now. Its just NOT a country bar anymore.

Went there for a Mexican band night. Wasnt pleased that we had to pay for tickets AND pay to get in AND then tables were all reserved for people who had to pay $$$ in order to reserve them! Not pleased. You dont do this for other bands, why do you single out the Mexican bands and make all people who want to enjoy their music pay outrageous amounts of money in order to sit down at a table!!!???

If you are looking for a place to book your next event, look somewhere else. No one knows anything that is going on. No one can answer any questions. The information on the web site is NOT what they actually offer. It took weeks of leaving messages with people for someone to finally call us back, just 3 days before the event. We were totally on our own. It was the most unprofessional event I have experienced. Good luck if you have a Groupon coupon too. They dont know what to do about that either. The venue worked as it gave us a place to gather with some music and fun, but the customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

Nice bartender. Thats it. Sad used to be great. 5 to get in so I can watch old people line dance. 5 for a beer. 10 I want back. Love country music. But no place to enjoy it in the metro area without going to 1 cowboy bar dwntwn. Bummer.

My friend had her purse stolen that contained her social, cash, & CAR KEYES by a couple of chicks in the bathroom & all night the employee including the “manager” did not do a single thing to help us out... they would not walk around the area to help us look or talk to the girls who stold the purse. The girls there are sketchy including the male security who instead of “helping” us figure out our situation was busy dancing & grinding with a couple of drunk chicks... I would be very careful & cautious about your belongings because they WILL NOT HELP, NOT EVEN A BIT.

While the new owner may have taken 3 weeks of the Stampede away from us, to slap a coat of paint on the place, he failed to follow through with a decent management team. Vero (Veronica) has zero management experience prior to her roll as GM at the Stampede. That, combined with her love for high school drama, has the staff in a revolving door. From talking badly about certain employees, to other employees behind their backs, to closed door cash dealings, shes slowly but surely driving the place further into the ground than previous ownership ever could have. Yes, I am a former employee...but I am an not posting this to be bitter. (I voluntarily quit when I saw how things were progressing) I am sad for the state of affairs in the club.CHRIS, GET A REAL MANAGEMENT TEAM!!!

FALSE ADVERTISING. Just got here for ladies night with my wife. $5 cover each. We go to the bar and are told there is no ladies night anymore. Were told there hasnt been for six months (despite the HUGE sign in the side of the building advertising ladies night on Saturday and Wednesday). Huge rip off. We used to enjoy ladies night here, ladies drink free, then ladies drink for less, but theres nothing worth a cover, despite the sign. Huge liars.

Dancing. Everyone here has fun dancing, and is usually friendly. $5 cover, yes for the ladies too, but ladies drink free from 8 to 11. The regulars all seem to know the line dances to every song. Everyone should go at least once in the summer.

Good dance floor and nice friendly people, but no live music so it feels like a fake country bar and the drinks are never made the same way twice once they are too strong and then next time they are too week. Plus way too much line dancing.

Review №75

I didnt mind going. Music was decent, bar prices are fine, and all around its not that bad. Until the other night. At the end of the night, I go to close my tab and find that the bartender gave my credit card to somebody else. Her words were, Maybe you can cancel it. Sure, okay. Mistakes happen. I was a bartender, Im not really mad at her (although she gave my card to a guy named Terrance, and my name is Clinton. Not sure how you can confuse those two names). So I ask her for the number to the place and call back the next day, just to see if the other guy woke up, realized he had the wrong card, and decided to turn it in. Well, I leave a message for the manager (on an answering machine) and havent gotten a phone call back. Its been three days. Ive already canceled the card, and like I said, mistakes happen. However, it wouldve been nice if the manager called back to at least say, The other guy still hasnt returned the card. Im sorry this happened to you. This isnt how we do things here. Nope. Never got a single call. So, Ill try to stay away because they dont really care, but Ill probably be back at some point. Just go with cash and dont expect any help should something happen.

This is a very, very special place.Lots of people from all walks of life, and theyre pretty much all there to just kick back and have some fun. Dont sweat the reviews attacking the staff or customers. The staff are really good folks who put themselves out there to make sure the rest of us can relax, goof around, and have fun. As for the customers? Just like the world outside the Stampede, there are lots of nice folks and there are a few rude jerks (of both genders). Pick the ones you like to hang around with, ignore others, and have a good time. No big deal. Just mind your cowboy/cowgirl manners and things will be fine. There are real country people and lots of regular suburbanites (like me). While youll meet the full range from people who do hard physical work to high end professionals, Its not about status or culture wars, its just about fun.I cant speak for the food. I go there to dance, socialize, and play pool.The dance lessons are terrific (esp on Fridays), and the racetrack-style dance floor is a rare and special thing that makes maintaining line of dance much easier and safer.Lots of pretty ladies, especially on Wednesday nights. Some very fine gentlemen there as well, speaking for myself. ;-)The crowd gets very young by about 10:30, and the music tends more towards hip-hip. This is my only complaint about this place.The #1 fantastic thing about the Stampede, as a dance place, is that the layout is not really bar-like and definitely not restaurant-like, so it is much easier to mingle with and approach MOTOS than at any night spot Ive ever been to.If youre new to country dancing, wear sturdy shoes with leather soles, take some lessons, and get yourself out there. Cute little sandals, flip-flops and shoes with grippy soles (work boots, sneakers, etc) are all REALLY BAD ideas in terms of toe and knee safety. If Im paying attention, I wont ask you do dance if youre not wearing sensibly safe shoes. Leather-soled western-style boots, of course, are best.Ask around, youll be certain to find some patient and helpful guys and ladies who are known for giving friendly informal basic lessons in the dances as well as guidance in basic etiquette. Keep at it, its worth it.The dance calendar and schedules are sort of two different things and dont always agree. Check them both before you come out.Come on out!

I was unlawfully kicked out and assulted. From the bouncers currently working this location I was not intoxicated by any means or refusing what they requested of me. I will be pressing charges and suing this company based on profiling and discremation. I am a person of prior service to the military as well as a patron of this location for a very long time. Ive never once been treated in such utter disrespect or been assaulted as I was tonight I have pictures and plenty of witnesses proving I was wrongfully ejected from the location with wrong and unessacary force. The assault charges will uphold in Cory hopefully they have a very good defense attorney because I am one that will not stand for negligence and utter abuse from poor staffing.
