First time here and I saw Tobe Nwigwe and it was amazing! Very nice intimate spot for concerts and the vibe was very chill. The place is located in a decent area and the atmosphere was inviting.

A really cool venue. The old brick inside is super cool. Its split into two venues. Located in an up and coming part of Denver. There are a lot of places to grab a bite or drink in the area. Making it a cool place to spend the night. I hit the pizza joint with the walk up window. Very cool.

This venue is awesome! Even when its sold out it doesnt feel too crowded, the drinks are cheaper than most venues and the sound quality is love the energy here

Cervantes has been one of my favorite venues since I moved to Colorado in 2014. It hosts a variety of electronic/funk/jam/psychadelic type genres. They also host live painters and vendors to share their art and buy their art. Ive met some of the best of people there! Check it out if you are in need a release and have to dance your butt off.

I traveled from out of state to see Louisiana own Dumpsterphunk: Ian Neville, Tony Hall, and more. At the open door-My first impressions were a sign is needed about ticket purchase should be made before entering the establishment and a sign pointing to their Box Office to purchase tickets. After returning with a ticket, security officers were respectful, through without being aggressive or invasive when checking bags, purses, coats, etc. before walking through the metal detector. Surprisingly, a Coat Check worker provided a kind greeting and offered to take my coat for free. I hesitated, but the work stated that their job was to be stationary with the coats during the whole event. The ballroom space was wide open with great acoustics from the stage and a spacious bar. The standing tables had areas to hang coats, purses, etc. and a few tables and a few chairs. The other side was a smaller area, security at the door, stage, bar, and a place for snacks: taquitos, burritos, chips, etc. The bartenders were friendly and a few humorous workers. People were friendly and kind. Pocket Protectors Band was worth listening and dancing to. Overall, I plan to see more events at the Cervantes in Denver, CO.

Best spot for local shows in denver

This was a very nice intimate venue. Waiting outside was not too bad, not a bad part of town like some people were saying, the entry was a little bit slow as they only had 1 person scanning tickets but we were in the front so it didnt affect us. The show was great, sound was fantastic, and it was a very fun night. Definitely will look forward to any shows at this venue, as it is very small, which I love, with a cool asthetic to it.

We visited Cervantes for The Crystal Method show, on 06/08/2019. The venue was great. Plenty of seating and dancefloor space. They also have a full bar.

Nice open venue. It is a little small but its alright. The tall ceilings make it a much more open space. Great acts for how small of a venue it is.

The venue is a nice size for music and I was surprised at how decent the sound was! I’ve only been here once, but the crowd was laid back, the bartenders were nice and attentive. I am definitely looking forward to coming back for another show!

Great venue. Note that The Other Side, while connected via an interior door, is almost always treated as a separate venue, requiring ticket purchase for each. Sometimes, a ticket covers both acts/sides. Check your ticket closely and plan accordingly.

I seen some amazing talent play here!

This is a good venue that has been around for a while. The intimate setting allows for fan interaction. The sound is great as well. I only wish there was a bit more seating on the floor. Most of the tables and seating are reserved for Vips. Overall, this is a great place to catch a show.

Went there for the 420 method man concert and it was dope! Dont go to the smaller lady for drinks. She waters them down. Go to the really tall guy...he doesnt over pour, but the drinks are sturdy.

Great venue! Both sides have there own feel. Always great acts and a ton of fun! Catch me there when Im in Denver!

Live music any day of the week pretty much. Two sides of the bar with different acts on each side. Plenty of space to boogie with clean (usually) bathrooms. The patio was a nice addition to an already cool spot. Scott, one of the owners will definitely go out of his way to make everyone feel welcome which I personally appreciate. There are a couple of rude bouncer door guys but what night spot doesn’t have one or two of those? Overall a great place to catch great music.

Very surprised and disheartened to find out the owners of this place started a GoFundMe via text message blast asking patrons to donate to their employees while the venue remains closed. Although I totally understand the hardships employees must be going through, you should take the profits of your overpriced drinks and other services to foot the bill, not ask your customers. Who, mind you, are going through an equally tough time economically. Shame on you Cervantes.

Excellent staff Great sound and there is a Bartender Morgan that was working at the other side who is phenomenal I have not problems supporting Cervantes and have been going there for years and will continue to do so thanks guys.

Free street parking all around. The Other side is a great small venue with decent sound. Would definitely recommend.

Intimate venue. Quality sound throughout. If you want seating theres stools in the balcony.

Very fun, smaller venue. Usually a good crowd. Love the live painting and smaller vendors they have available

Shout out to the Security team at Cervs! We had a friend that went a little overboard on the booze and their staff helped him walk and offered him water, juice and candy to help him come back to reality. They were very knowledgeable and were very kind. They didn’t make a big scene about it and were only trying to help. I hope you all get a fat raise because you couldn’t pay me enough to deal with situations like that for a living. You guys are the best, big thanks for all your help!

Great place for a concert great bar tenders and friendly staff

Your friendly neighborhood music venue. Coat check, bathrooms, bar, music, theyve got it all. Fairly intimate as the room is not huge. Of course, the Other Side is about half the size.

Same ole Cervantes. I met my husband here about 10 years ago and it still smells like stale beer. That said, they have great acts here and always have which is part of why I love it. New patio out back is pretty cool and reminds me of the Mishawaka in Ft. Collins.

You can attend there some really good concerts. Besides that, they have very cute patio and inexpensive drinks.

Went for planet of the drums. Sound was good, bar prices were pretty reasonable as well.

I Definitely Digg this Venue It has Two rooms and an outside spot to smoke. Everytime Ive gone its been pretty chill so no complaints and highly recommend.

Saw Mike Love this valentines and it was amazing. Much love

This place is fantastic. Its down and dirty and the sound is great. They bring in killer musical acts. Between this and the other side you cant go wrong. Im here at least once a month

Ive been going to Cervantes for over a decade for shows and every time its a new amazing experience. The variety of acts they have is lovely. Just go youre bound to have a good time.

Great neigborhood venue with a variety of names playing.

Great place for a live show. When it’s warm out, they have bands play in the back open area. Great place for a date.

Casual stand up venue with great acts for a reasonable price. Newly gentrified neighborhood, but Cervantes has been here long before it was discovered.

One of the best spots in Denver to see a show. They always bring in great talent and the vibes are very on point. Plus you have a great chance of scoring!

Sick ballroom with dope chandeliers that glow like purple jellyfish. Great sound for an old roller-skating rink converted into a concert venue.

Friendly staff, good drink prices, a new sound system that really bumps makes this place a great spot all around.

My favorite place to go. Some of the best bass music artists come through here.

Sound was good. Venue needs a restoration. Cervantes masterpiece ballroom is way to grandios of a name for what it is. MSG put on an awesome show.

Lately they have been desperate for sales. Overselling shows to the point of overcrowding. Completely unable to move freely.

These are photos of Eminence Ensemble. Amazing venues for photos, and a great place for up and coming or popular artists alike. Were on Facebook and would love follows and feedback.

I love this place, but when its sold out, its SOLD OUT. Good luck finding anywhere comfortable to enjoy the music.

This is my favorite venue. I lived in CO my whole life, and this venue is constantly improving. The service is fast n friendly. Theres pizza n snacks. There is a nice variety of different music to enjoy. And the sound is Great also! keep it up. I however, do not like the new metal detectors. I felt safe before them, it takes longer to get in. And they kind of have an off putting feeling, that clashes with the welcoming vibe of the place its self.

Fun venue but Im pretty sure I was on the wrong side for show I went to see, its a little confusing. Both sides were fun though. Only bad thing Id have to point out is the wristband guy getting pretty snarky with me when I didnt hear his first question. But Id go again.

One of the top venues in Denver and love the talent they bring to their RE:SEARCH events.

Absolutely bad @$$ venue! Double tier and two stages and bars. Theyve also got a outdoor patio with plenty of elbow room. Well worth seeing any band/artist come thru

Great show from Hilltop Hoods with Adrian Eagle. Thanks for yet again another amazing show in Colorado HTH!

The venue was not set nice. I paid for VIP and it was everything but that. There was lack of seating and tables, the stool I had was broken. You literally just paid to be on a balcony. The people who were in security and greeting were not nice at all.They were not able to support Robert Glaspers equipment so he had to get new keyboards in which his main one went out. He had to play a smaller one which sounded like a casio. His who set for music presentation was messed up. The sound quality was mediocre and you could hear people talking while the concert was going on. The electrical problem in the building delayed the concert start over 30 min. I left early, disappointed and displeased. I have been to quite a few concerts and venues this year, and this by far was the worst I have experienced. It was not worth the money I spent. The only good things was the bar that was upstairs and the nice bartender. So that is why there is a second star.

Thug Scouts KILLED IT, Awesome venue, live painting, cafe, bar, silent disco with 3 DJs on the outdoor patio while live music groups performed inside. Great spot to see music, highly recommend

Awesome out of the way place to see live music on the cheap. The bands were great, the clientele were friendly and fun, and the drinks were cheap. Met one of the owners while we were there and he was great, too! GOPACKGO!

Saw Brasstracks their last month and it was amazing! a ton of open space and the art they had on the second floor was beautiful (I believe Android Jone a the time)Brasstracks also brought Big GiganticsDominic Lalli on stage for a few songs to jam out to

It could use a little renovating but the venue is intimate and the drinks come fast. They have all sorts of acts from huge to small.

Nothing but love for Cervantes. Come chill, be cool. Have a good time.

Always fun. Typically Rap, EDM or Jam Band shows. Neighborhood parking is the only drawback.

Super cool and fun place! We saw KRS-1 on a Sat night and it was one of the best concert experiences Ive ever had. Everyone who performed was great. Parking was free and easy and literally right in front of the place, and theres several restaurants in close walking distance too. Well definitely be down for more shows soon!

This is a cool little venue. Its small so the shows feel very intimate. They showcase local talent which is awesome. Full bar and restaurant as well. I would go back for sure.

Great grungy venue, I wish there were more house music shows here.

Had a great time and met a lot of cool people while listening to The Copper Children & Everyone Orchestra!

Great venue. Great shows. Great prices. The staff is rude AF though.. Always....

This place would get negative stars if it was possible. GREEDY OWNNERS! AND FIRE HAZARD AT EVERY SHOW AT THE OTHER SIDE! CERVANTES is ok. Thats why they got a Star. The other side however is ALWAYS over sold. Pass legal capacity on 3 different shows! This is not only dangerous but it makes it so you cant dance, you cant buy alcohol you cant even move! This use to be a Denver main stay, now thanks to the other side” its now a must avoid

I had the pleasure to ENJOY a Lucky Daye concert at The Other Side and absolutely loved the intimate venue, the outside space and even the little dining option was cool (although I didnt eat). If you have the chance to go to concert here know that it isnt a really big place, but it will still attract a decent crowd. There are maybe about 6-10 available seats in a slightly elevated area in the rear (so buy early access if seating is big for you), and you will have a good time!!!! Definitely will be looking for more artists to see at this venue.

Big place! Sage Francis was playing when I was here fun time

Great rock and roll venue, not too big, not too loud, small cover, generous drinks, good choice of bands

Really dope venue. Small but not cramped. Glad I saw a show while in town.

Great small venue with great atmosphere has two different venues the main on and other side. Other side is quite small the main one has a nice layout.

Great time! Had to get there early to get a seat on the balcony.

Cervantes is a good venue to view a concert. We enjoyed several shows there over the years and have always enjoyed our time there.

I traveled from out of state to see Jaquees and at first i was having a great time until i had to get fresh air and i asked where do we go for air and smoke a cig they said go to the patio but one of the security and bartenders said no they werent doing the back to back between both bars, that i was supposed to go to the front, so i went to the front and was allowed to go as im coming back in one of the securiy men said i wasnt allowed back in, so i had to sit outside while i missed the other half of Jaquees show. I paid to see him and sit in their VIP and i wasnt allowed back in. They were rude and didnt communicate with each other. Thats why i asked before i went ouside and was told yes i could then the other one says no! Yet as im standing there they were allowing many other females back in and as i asked why do they get to go in all he kept saying was have a good night. So i waited putside for my friend mind you she didnt have her phone so didnt even know where i was until she peeped out while looking for me . I think the security was wrong. We are the fans. Not there for u but for the performer. You sat there while a fight happened and you were more worried about me sneaking back in then the safety of others. Security made the place and show a horrible experience..

Real cool venue. Had a good time here

Great show for the price. Griz didnt end up showing up :(

Awesome place for a hip hop concert!

Love the venue, but not enough hip hop shows anymore. Bring back the boom bap!

Amazing sound system. The show was sold out but I never waited in line for a drink.

I absolutely love coming to see some of my favorite bands play here because its a small venue so no matter where you are its s good place to see the stage! Theres another small stage, right through the door to get to the patio area, that also has bands playing. That was neat! Concert tickets are usually not exspensive which outs also a plus! Ive never been disappointed with coming to watch a show here.

Great place to listen to music. The food from the little kitchen is super tasty and reasonably priced. Selection of beers is a bit limited and leans towards mass produced weak beers or super hoppy pale ale. Every Thursday is bluegrass of some description!

Great venue to see local artists. Good sound system and great ticket prices. Redman and method man play there quit a bit

Nice small venue where you can easily make your way to the stage or hangout at open high tables along the balcony on the second floor.

Great venue! You get to be up close and personal when you go to Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom & Cervantes Other Side!They are super helpful when it comes to being in a wheelchair and needing assistance as well, from personal experience. I will definitely be back!

We went to see Goose (excellent band) here on 12/7 and it was overcrowded to the point where it seemed unsafe. As I made my way out of the crowd, side shuffling through hordes of people, I was concerned I wouldnt be able to make it to the exit. Ive never been to a show so overcrowded. Even all the way at the back there was no room to stand comfortably, let alone dance. They were letting more people in from outside and Cervantes as I left with seemingly no regard for the fact that everyone in the audience was finding it impossible to move around at all!!! BOOOOO, RUINED THE SHOW!!

Fun place for shows of all types depending the day. Cheaper drinks than some other clubs in town

It’s a decent venue to see smaller shows and has a great staff.

Saw hieroglyphics! Great show, cool venue

The nostalgia is incredible been going here for years. Im sure one could find something to complain about but Im not going to incredible host to some great memories

Nice little venue. Serves food also.

Nice staff, cool outdoor area, and good hospitality towards artists

Love cervs everytime I go its great. Greatful dead with lemon is my favorite drink

Awesome venue. Quick and very affordable bar service. Very good security and staff has everyone free to have a good time

Cervantes is the place to go for an independent show in Denver. Genres of all kinds can mesh together seamlessly. The vibes are good and the people are fun, just prepare for some odd decor.

I went and saw @vibestreet with @potentproductions in the house keep up the great environment and atmosphere these guys put on a great show Cervantes has been great forever!!

Awesome local venue with smaller more intimate shows. Two separate venues and outdoor space. Often have fun events of various types to bring in the crowds.

Good venue, surprised the restrooms are still gross after all these years

Very good venue! Great stage size, large ballroom floor, good sound system. Also, for anyone curious, the band entrance/exit is in the alleyway right behind the building, making for a great meet and greet area! However, they do not allow reentry under 21 for whatever reason, which is a real buzzkill.

Great place. Reasonable drink prices too!

If an artist you love is playing this venue...BUY TIX... Its a very intimate venue, great atmosphere, lovely staff

A wonderful venue.Miss the music, Since I moved

Great concert hall security for events has got better

Great small concert venue. Good bartenders and pours.

Very small venue but very interesting. Show up early to get a good spot!

I went here to see my friend play in a concert. He got tickets reserved for us, and we watched him play and it was great. The next band wasnt as good, so I went outside to get fresh air. They told me no re-entry without paying for another ticket. It was loud and hot and I had a wristband and a ticket and I was on the list of reserved tickets from my friend being in the band, so I figured theyd let me back in, I was just getting some air.I tried to go back in and explain the situation. They were extremely rude and told me I had to leave or buy another ticket. Even when my friend in the band came over to explain, they just told me to get out. Ridiculous.

One of the best kept secrets for live shows in Denver! Small and Intimate!!
