Love this venue. Intimate. Great sound. Right in the heart of the city. Awesome mid-tier artists always coming through town.

First up, if you dont like things loud or you need a place to sit between shows, this is not your venue. Thats not a shot at the venue, just a little heads up that this place is loud and it is standing room only, just the way it should be.I can mention the wonderful acoustics youll hear on display with every note played by your favorite band. I wont go into detail on their well stocked bar and the many refreshments available or the fact that if you buy a drink for your fellow and are the DD, theyll just give you water. I could talk about the fact that its clean, maybe not pristine, but clean, and for a music venue, thats pretty amazing.What I will talk about their customer service. We came to this venue to see my wifes favorite band when she was about 39 months pregnant with our first child (a little girl who definitely needed some Bad Religion and Rise Against in her life). We were in line and the doorman noticed us. He immediately called us up and got my wife inside. Remember my comment about standing room only? Well they found her a chair anyway. We didnt pay an extra penny for any of it and they never asked for thanks of any kind. They just reminded us that they can be a hard rocking music venue and show kindness and compassion for their customers all at the same time.

I Loved this venue! It felt very intimate. The staff were so nice and answered my questions without looking at me like I was stupid. The sound and light show was good. Hard to find a place that sounds as good as this. I love that I could watch the show and not worry about someone taller getting in front of me. I was right behind the railing and could see the stage perfectly.

Great venue. Pretty cozy, good sound and lights. Free parking can be a challenging so recommend to get there a little early. Seems to be one of the go to venues for metal bands so definitely returning.

This music venue is awesome. The 4 inch platforms are a huge help in making it easy to see the band from almost anywhere on the floor. They have plenty of staff which makes getting into the theatre quick and easy. The acoustics are good, and it seems like the mixing engineers are good as well.

Loved this concert venue. Was small enough that from anywhere you had a great view of the stage and were also close to the bar and restrooms. I would definitely go to a concert at this venue again!

A great place to see a show with three different bars inside. The only problem can be that at Max capacity which is 1,600 people the air conditioner cant keep up and its an awfully warm show. There is a little bit of seating up in the balcony but other than that you are standing the whole time.

Really neat venue... sound was a touch heavy on the bass (I could feel it in my trachea, and the speakers were having a hard time reproducing it at the levels theyd set), and by the end of the show the smoke machines had put out a bit too much, so it was hard to see the artists with the lights going... but these are minor nitpicks against what was a damn good show made possible by a damn hood venue. Lighting, overall sound, and floor/balcony layout were all fantastic, and every spot in the house was a good spot.

So glad we got to see Maggie Rogers at such an intimate venue. The sound and the performance were amazing. We love you Maggie!

I traveled all the way from Albuquerque, NM to see Good Charlotte here. And I was not disappointed. Aside from the lack of parking (which wasnt the Ogdens fault), I had a great time. The staff was super friendly, and the theatre was amazing. Id definitely travel all the way back to see another concert.

Had an amazing time here celebrating the life of a local artists dad! Bar prices are a bit.... High but the venue was pretty nice. I had fun, found a good spot, though it wasnt packed due to the time of week of the show. I imagine if it was a packed, sold out shoe, this place would be a bit of a nuisance to navigate. Smoking area was also quite small.

The show... Heilung. The sound was amazing. The experience of the groups performance transcendent. I didnt want to leave to get a drink or merch during the show.

Had a great experience at this theatre. Staff, security, bartenders, everything was great for the sold out show we attended on 2/19. For people that complain about the area, must be a nice life you have that you grew up thinking Colfax was a bad neighborhood. Ogden is better than most venues in the USA.

Great place to view performances up close and personal. there. Is a main level basically the moshpit then upstairs there are balconies. We were up there. My husband though acoustics were better up there and I though I saw more of the performance. There is really no seating, but a bar where you can buy drinks. I am not sure how the theater would handle an emergency with thatanynpeople packed into a small space... BTW we saw Blue October who did not disappoint :)

Historic theatre with lots of old-world charm. The view is great from the balcony, though the back of the floor can get pretty obscured. Coat check (upstairs) is run out of a small closet, so it may be a bit overwhelmed at the end of the show. Bars are fairly quick and affordable as well.

Great venue. The tiered layout of the fan section is awesome, no risk of getting stuck in the crush like many other venues. Plenty of bathroom space for both men and women, bars on both ground floor and mezzanine. Weve seen a number of shows here and always have had a good time!

I always enjoy seeing shows at the Ogden! I prefer the balcony because I like to get a stool, if this is what you want be sure to get there early!

Never usually give out a 5 star rating, but this place is magic. I have seen so many good shows here. Great venue, great staff. Those guests who are having a little too much fun are always handled in a way thats best for everyone.Just saw Primus there and it was one of the best shows Ive seen in years.If your favorite band is playing there, make sure to go.Can be kid friendly, but that has a lot to do with the band.

Great concert venue. Responsive staff, bar tenders do a good job for a huge crowd. Pictures are of Baby Metal and Avatar, what a fun concert!

Cozy, intimate and always great bands. Perfect amount of space for dancing or chilling and watching from above. They have a decent selection of craft beer too which I appreciate.

Lively venue. Saw Caravan Palace, and loved every moment. Good bar with friendly staff, too

Great small venue, intimate setting but large enough for a great vibe when full. Historic theater... nice acoustics.

Not a very easy place to get a CC left there, if youre not around there often. You pretty much have to be there just before or during a concert to get it. Which isnt many nights of the week. Thats what I get for opening a tab in this place. Wont ever do that again.

This place is super chill. Great spot to see some great musicians! My ladies and I went a saw JBoog show was perfect. I recommend sitting up top of you can get there early enough for an open spot. Jah bless.

Went to see Juicy J and it was awesome loved it! There was one bartender that was super rude lol but I had such a good time that it didnt really matter. Would come back to see another show here! You are super close to the stage from anywhere its the same experience as being on the floor level in a large venue.

Awesome concert venue. Great sound, intimate setting. Its so easy to be close to your favorite bands at this venue!

Saw The Dead South here and WOW, these performed and sounded AMAZING! They absolutely have it all. The venue is great, air constantly blowing so it never gets stinky or stale and the line to get in was quick.

Perfect theater for watching a show. Has a floor and balcony section and there honestly doesnt seem to be a bad place to stand here. The lower floor section is on a incline and there is plenty of railing access at the balcony level along with tiered steps for standing. The acoustics are incredible too. The size is small enough to still feel intimate, yet big enough to create an energy filled environment. Drinks are pretty standard price for a concert venue. Pic taken from left balcony.

This is by far my favorite music venue in Denver! I love the design and layout, and the fact that you usually have a spot to set your drink down and dance. Theres always a great seat with a view because of the theaters design.

Super cool venue, there’s an upper deck you can stand on if you’d like. Yummy drinks

Great venue, when I went it was very crowded though so make sure to get in the line earlier on if you want a closer view/ to buy any merchandise ( if it is a more popular performer). Also, dont plan on getting in under age because I saw lots of teens not allowed in, they check everyones ID.

Mandy’s THE best!

Great venue. Sound is clean and there pretty much isn’t a bad place to stand in the entire building.

Great venue fast bartenders

This is by far the best experience Ive had in a long time. I just saw Empire of the Sun and it was way more awesome than what I anticipated. The audience was really into it. The theater itself is small compared to other venues but thats kinda a good thing because it results in you being closer to the stage. My favorite parts of the concert were walking on a dream and half mast.

Absolutely amazing although it was a bit crowded, what can you expect from a small show. Everything was great, from the indie band to the cool lighting, but the best part had to be the kind staff handing out water bottles because it got too hot inside due to the large crowd. The place was beautiful and clean. It really changed my view of Denver and its people !! Im going to the next show and Im taking my friends.

I like this music venue. Its intimate. Its very small. This is mostly a standing room only venue. The alcohol options are terrible in my opinion, but the music rocks.

Last night, my sister and I were going to a show here and were put into one of the scariest situations Ive ever been in. Long story short, we got there late, so we had to park a few blocks away. While we were walking (about two blocks from the Ogden Theatre), a man sprinted across the street and propositioned us. We said no and decided to turn around and go home, and he followed us three blocks to our car.This also wasnt an outlier. We were out of our car for ten minutes and had 2 things like this happen to us. We also saw another woman have something happen to her while we were driving.I understand that I cant speak to the quality of the actual venue, and so Im sorry to leave a lower rating. But I was looking for a review about the safety of the area before leaving for the concert yesterday. I wish I had seen something like this. The entire time we were out of our car (even before the man approached us) my gut told me something was off and I was in danger. I will NEVER go back here.Please be safe and trust your gut, people!

Been here to see a couple of different shows. Every floor leveled in a way to ensure that everyone can find a place to have full view of the stage. And, I just learned on this visit, the red soda cups, come with free refills! This is unheard of in a venue like this. Love it!

Great place to go see a show

Great venue! Cozy/intimate and great lighting affects. Honestly it can determine whether or not I will go see a band! (Ogden Theatre = yes!)

Great venue to catch some live music in Denver. The atmosphere inside is incredible and the sound is great. Dont try and park in this area because its pretty hard. Id highly recommend coming 30 minutes before the concert to find good places.

Great venue for a concert and the staff was very organized.

I love that its got a old school ambiance to it. Remember that its not super roomie tho. Went to a show there recently and had a hard time seeing the stage. Standing room only. Get there early. Parking is tricky too as there is no parking lot. I repeat,get there early!

Awesome venue for seeing bands!!

GOD IT WAS SO COOL I went to see Dance Gavin Dance and the place was packed!!

Most of the stars for this 5 star rating is because I was able to see the stage from most anywhere here, which is hard to do when your 51. But its also a great venue, loved the building and the staff was very friendly.

This is a great old theater hosting a variety of acts. From punk to pop to jam bands, this venue is an old school Denver landmark. Surrounded by numerous restaurants, bars, and clubs its easy to like this theater. A big downside to The Ogden is the notable lack of parking. The neighborhood fills up quickly before shows, so its best to get a ride or walk from a central location.

Great intimate venue. Loved the tiered floor with dividers. Made it easy to get back to the group I was with after beer runs and bathroom breaks.

Awesome venue for a concert. Tons of character. Every area is close to the stage and the acoustics are amazing.

Again another Denver staple. Great sound. A fun venue, have never been disappointed seeing a concert here. Cheers

Good place to see a concert. Small enough that you can see everything but big enough to provide very good sound.

This is all amazing venue! Its friendly, welcoming, and professional. We love going to events at the Ogden Theater!

My favorite venue for a show in Denver.

Saw PRIMUS the other night. Great music at a great venue.

This venue is amazing! With a stage theatre design and upper balcony seating, it has a beautiful old world charm. But dont let that let fool you, this place has a big heartbeat.

Though a small place as compared to some, for a rock concert, it had great charm, great staff and tou could see the band from almost any place you stood.

This is a great place for concerts, a smaller theater with great acoustics. My wife is not so mobile; the staff there were absolutely amazing in helping her to the ADA section, which is in a very good location to see the concert, and ensuring that that area was ONLY for disabled people and that nobody else entered. A few people tried as it was less crowded but they were stopped by the staff right away. Many of venues could learn a lot from the Ogden. Thank you to all of your staff for making our evening extremely enjoyable and stress-free.

The Ogden Theatre is a pretty good place to see a show because it is small enough to get close to performers and has some good sight-lines. Most of the theater is standing room only, with tiers and rails on the main floor making for good vantage points even if standing further back. For less crowded shows there are seats in the balcony area, but even standing at the rail of the balcony is fairly comfortable.The best places for sound are in the middle of the main floor in the tiers above the pit. Often in the pit area the vocals are difficult to hear because the house speakers are even with the stage and not pointed to the pit. However, the pit area can be a lot of fun because it feels so close to the performers. The loudest sound is in the balcony.Denver usually has very appreciative crowds and even for the most hipster acts the audience does more than just stand with their arms folded, as is common in some cities these days.Getting in usually involves a metal detector and takes some time, so plan accordingly.

Great old theater with tier standing room only floor for live concerts. Sound system is really decent and the wrap around balcony upstairs offers great views. Decent drink prices, stage setup is solid and the house lighting system is pretty cool. Oozing with old patina, great place to catch a show!

Awesome small venue! Love the vibes! Good sound setting!

The venue is amazing. The music is amazing. The staff was amazing. My friend was not feeling well, and everyone involved in staff was very helpful and concerned more about his wellbeing than anything else. I had never been here before, but its safe to say that the Ogden has exceeded my expectations.

Middle-of-the-pack music venue in terms of both capacity and quality. Sold-out shows can be exceptionally packed in comparison to sold-out shows at the Fillmore, Bluebird, Cervantes etc. Security is reasonable in my experience. No reentry is kind of a bummer. They book a good range of quality talent. The tiered, standing room-only setup allows more places for short people like me to be able to see, compared to a huge flat room like the Fillmore. Ticket fees can be egregious, and I love that I can go to the box office on non-show days to get tickets, especially since I can get tickets to other venues. Not my favorite venue, but certainly not the worst Denver has to offer.

Great theater, standing room is nice they have bar stools in the balcony.

One of the best small venues Ive ever been to. The gradation of the audience area should be taught in architectural school. Its absolutely the best Ive seen across many thousands of miles of sampling the smaller concert theaters. Every size theater would benefit from the input of whomever built this place. I only wish more of my bands chose the Ogden over the Fillmore...

Walk around colfax, have fun, catch a show, intimate environment... pictures of bohemoth.

Love going here to see bands. Ive going to this theater for 32 years. I remember when you could sit in the balcony watch a movie (when it used to show movies...before it became a concert venue) and smoke cigarettes.

Had a great night at the Ogden watching Marcus King! What an amazing show!

Ive seen H.E.R, Tank and the Bangas, Alina Baraz, and Kyle there recently. Too much fun. Go to Charlies after.

I saw some people did not like this place because it felt small but that is one fact I actually enjoyed. It felt very intimate which made the show I was seeing amazing. I highly recommend everyone to go see a show here.

Small venue, its been around forever. Its old so it gets really REALLY hot, Ive been to two shows here and both times I had to miss the end of the show because the heat starts to make me sick. And of course you may not reenter once you go outside. But if you can take the heat a lot of great shows pass through this place, and The Ogden really is a piece of Denver history and is generally beloved.

Great intimate venue for an amazing concert experience. If youre on the shorter side like myself, Id recommend getting there early to get a good place to see. It gets super hot with all the bodies. Overall a great time and worth it.

Awsome venue!! Very much worth our drive. Cant wait to return.

Great place to see concerts! Not too big for a more intimate experience.

Awesome show with Heilung. The Ogden was the perfect size for such an experience.

Very cool spot for a show will have to come back to Denver

Decent venue. This may make me sound old but I have such a hard time standing for so long. I prefer concert venues where I can sit.

Great venue! Every seat is a good one

I wish I could see all concerts in such a small venue! Saw Hunter Hayes here and loved it! Get there early so you can get a seat upstairs and be up close.

Love the look of the theatre. Had an amazing time.

Not much for parking. Hands down one of the better venues Ive been to. Reasonable drinks, awsome lightning, great sound! I recommend VIP if you cant handle standing the whole show!

I went for Charlie xcx and it was amazing love her

Always been a great place to see a concert. Ive been there many times.

Very fun if your seeing a great band there is seating up top if you want or you can just stand all in all a great venue to see a concert

The sound has been excellent both times Ive seen a concert at Ogden. This theater seems to really know what they are doing!

Silversun Pickups were smashing as always! But Nikki on the new bass. Ugh

This is really a great place to see a concert, probably the best of Denvers venues. Even though its mostly SRO, there are good spots to stand on the floor and balcony that give you a great unobstructed view of the stage. Hope to see a lot more well known artists and bands choose this size venue instead of arenas and stadiums just like Hunter Hayes did.

Great Venue! A bit smaller than Fillmore, and similar to Gothic Theatre if youre been there and not here.

Fast and easy to get in and they scan digital tickets so thats nice. Tip: if you are short get there early or pay for VIP/ balcony access. Pro: 3 bars so the wait times are not long, pricing is fair. Con: tough to find parking, evening sidewalk crowds on Colfax walking back to street parking can be a bit rough. Take an uber.

Fantastic music venue with multiple bars and great acoustics!

Such a cool place to see Passion Pit

Always love going to shows at The Ogden Theater. Nice intimate venue with good sound.

Sound is great and visibility is solid. Im pretty sure they oversell it, as it has a tendency to get packed. Before the Mission Ballroom came along, this was the best venue in Denver.

Went and saw The Midnight with Violet Days opening. This was my first concert in over a decade and it was awesome!

The staff is always super friendly and helpful and the venue itself has great sound and a nice intimate atmosphere.

Intimate venue. You can get really up close to the musicians. Expensive drinks.

Great venue, showing its age a bit but the size is perfect. Not so big that you dont get that more intimate feeling with bands. BUT still large enough you dont feel like a bar show

Went to see a pop-up magazine event. Small concert hall that lets you feel close to the artist

This really is a theatre! It looks amazing inside! Really high ceiling, and just a very unique look. Have gone twice now and would definitely go again!

Best indoor theatre Ive been to. Easy ticket Check, fast security, big venue size.Gets a little hot and sweaty sometimes but this makes sense.
