One of the best bass music venues on the planet hands down. Sound and atmosphere are so on point and the murals, from some of the best painters I have ever known, really make it a place to behold.This is Home :::)

I had the opportunity to see Big Chocolate recently, and I must say that it was quite an amazing treat. yes, pun intended. The sound here was great and the concert was so beautifully personal because there was such a small yet incredibly engaged audience! Will definitely return to The Black Box!

The sound is great and the atmosphere is nice.. but they cut my boyfriend off and did not give him his card. We ended up having to call the Denver police non emergency line just to get his card back. The bartender was not cooperative and it took us awhile to get his card so we can leave. The security was treating him like drunk trash that needed kicked out when in reality him and i were just trying to have a good night out.

One of the best club there is! Came from Sweden and had the honour to attend one night and play. Great calibrated sound system and enough space for the crowd to breath. Lovely people who runs it as well.

With an underground style venue like this bringing amazing DJs and producers you dont need to go anywhere else. The vibes are super friendly and Ive never had a bad night in my 15+ visits.

Keeping UK and Underground bass music alive and healthy. Cant wait for you guys to come back.

Best vibes, and the intimate size and lighting makes it a perfect space to get down on deep dubs and other bass music. Sound system is incredible too. Big ups to Nicole and her crew for developing this club and keeping the underground alive through sound, not hype!

Great sound and two stages with two bars. Enough room to breathe and consistent drink deals. Bass is heavy and clean. Does not destroy your hearing either.

First time in Denver, came for the first night of Caspa. Absolutely fantastic experience. The sound was better than described or expected. It was a bit crowded, obviously for a headliner, but other than that, great. Will definitely return the next time I’m in Denver

Great vibes, amazing sound, plenty of space to dance, cool lighting, cozy bar right inside the venue. sometimes the AC blasts a little too intense so layer up. still one of my favorite places for deep dancey bass music in denver.

This is the place for underground EDM in Colorado. The place is small but intimate, theres another bar section if you need somewhere to take a break, tickets are cheap, and the sound is some of the best out of any venue. This place is really turning into something special.

Personally not a fan! Overpriced, drinks are watered down, and the environment is dirty. My girlfriends and I paid $80 to walk in and walk back out...

$15 for the lounge and I left early cuz there was like no one there and the box office said the lounge was almost sold out. Maybe thats what they were going for for the atmosphere? but I was looking to dance.

Left my debit card. Trying to get it back. Says opens at 4 but no one is here.EDIT** was informed rather quickly that they usually dont open until around 9pm and Google keeps changing their hours no matter how many times the owner has complained.

The Black Box is simply the best club in Capitol Hill. Its no frills, dark, loud, great staff, and the crowd is always great.The music selection tends more towards dub, Dnb, future bass, and occasionally some house. Really chill patio area out back! Get there early for bigger shows as they can hit capacity.

The BEST club to experience electronic music in the state! Amazing staff and sound. Always bringing in world wide talent throughout the year especially in dubstep and drum & bass. Visit here if you like that stuff :)

Great venue to see Cutting Edge electronic Acts. The atmosphere of the place perfectly fits with the music being presented. Artistic, but not pretentious at all. The bartenders are just friendly enough which is a plus.

I had no idea what and where this place was until tonight and now its probably one of my favorite places in Denver. The crowd was great, friendly, and liked to dance. The music was deep dark and heavy on the bass, just the perfect. The sound system was top notch and I was amazed how rich the bass was without having to scream to talk. Only Beta can give this a run for the best sound. It just look like a little brick building but is much bigger on the inside than the outside.

The best. 10/10 will go again. Have been plenty of times. Why pay more for less man ? All the best music. Drinks are priced right. What are you waiting for ?

Review №36

Honestly, new name but not much has changed (which is a good thing!) Looks a little sketch, but thats sorta the appeal. 2 stages and a big back porch area, good bar selection, and typically a vendor or two sets up shop.All around good vibes

I waited 8 years to see Spoonbill live. It could have happened in a school cafeteria and I still would have loved it, but this was a cool place. The intimate size, amazing sound, and well priced drinks were an added bonus.

Sickest intimate venue for bass music in Denver. Excellent sound, dark room, and a focus on the music thats above anywhere else. Highly recommend VIP, the booth is elevated and you have your own cocktail waitress for some shows!!

Small venue, often two stages going. No exit and reentry policy are troublesome when the food and drink selection is minimal.

Well run electronic music club. There are two stages, both of which are pretty small. It is a very intimate experience. Parking around the venue can be a bit of a hassle. Pay attention to all of the street signs to avoid getting ticketed or towed. Better yet, take a Lyft and party responsibly.

Decent location, friendly workers but 3 stars because they definitely need someone to keep an eye on the ladies room; I went to each one which were located on different sides of the building and they both were disgusting. Also, the DJ is not that great.

Black Box is my favorite venue in Denver. Ive been going to sub.mission shows since 2008? The owner Nicole curates this venue like none other. Weve enjoyed spending multiple NYEs and multiple multiple multiple shows at the Black Box. Want to specifically give a shout out to Sally, the lovely VIP host, who takes great care of me and my fiancee and any other friends we make on the Basscouch!

Cool vibe fun. although the heavyset security lady was EXTREMELY RUDE! Im holding open the door for my disabled husband after I entered and she screams close the door! I try to explain what Im doing and she has the audacity to holler at me again. We will not be back. What a shame.

Went on a Friday night to the Hip Hop side. Security was rude. We wanted to peak inside to see if it was worth our time. He said, No, we dont do that. Reluctantly, we paid the cover to get in, and regretted it immediately. The place was empty and stayed that way until at least 1 am when we left. DJ was okay, he replayed songs though.

Usually there is a side of the club with local talent open for free. Smoking session outside with a little food window that is open most bigger nights. There’s a pool table (maybe two) and vendors usually around on both sides. No reentry. Sound quality here is awesome.

Best venue hands down in Denver. Vibes are always off the charts due to people being very educated in the specific artists and experience they are trying to bring. We all about Sound not hype.

This is the Go To spot for bass music in the Mile High City, with two rooms of wonderfully crafted sound systems, skilled VJs, and plenty of acoustic treatment, come enjoy one of the finest sounding rooms in town.

Review №85

Just went for the first time. Sound at the main room is excellent, the best I’ve experienced in Denver so far. Great acoustics and tuned really pro. Part of the staff could be more polite (a bartender in particular) and discrete (security).

Review №86

My personal favorite drum&bass / jungle / dub /electronic venue in the area. Sound is absolutely top notch in both rooms (big respect to the soundguys). Recon & Sub.mission crews rep Denver to the fullest with their choice of headliners.

Feels like home. Plus the incorporation of studio lessons for producing, sound design. Djing and vjing... like wow this place goes above and beyond other Denver venues in this way by giving back and trying to engage the Denver electronic scene into creativity

This is my new favorite indoor venue! The Funktion One sound system is just mind bending, the space to dance is comfortable with A/C on full blast, the back patio is a cozy place to rest your feet from dancing and the staff are really great as well!

Awesome new club in the Denver scene. Big yet very intimate space. Lounge has a full bar, DJ stage, lighting effects and a game area. The main room has a full bar and youre able to see the main stage from anywhere in the room. The sound system in just perfect for the space. They also have a cozy comfortable back patio. Will definitely be back.

First time here since its been renamed and no question, the sound system is great. Fun bars (both rooms) nice vibe, good crowd - so for now, 5 stars. They seem to offer music thats on the edge, so even if I dont like it all, they get props and stars from me. Glad to know its here in town!

Great place for EDM, good vibes and option of 2 rooms. Bonus for notes in bathrooms encouraging people to let staff know if anyone makes them uncomfortable and it will be dealt with discreetly. Safe place to go out solo as a female. My only suggestion would be to make patio accessible from both sides of the club.
