Editorial Review for Ogden Theatre – by Rachel Marsh

In Short
This ancient building on west Colfax remains one of Denver's prime music venues. The molding that surrounds the stage, ceiling and parts of the walls is as intricate and ornate as any gingerbread-covered mansion. Recent renovations--including an intimate wrap-around balcony, enlarged stage and improved sight lines--increase capacity and ensure there isn't a bad seat in the house. Two bars are downstairs. During rowdy shows, the area by the stage can become a mosh pit.

User Reviews for Ogden Theatre

I came here for the George Clinton & Parliament show. Concerts here sound good, but it's hard to see if you're a short person. General admission is standing room only. The audience is set at tiered levels looking down at the stage, but each tier can be 10 to 20 people deep. So you'll have a great view of the back of someone's head instead of the stage. Fillmore is definitely better in that the audience is down below and looking upwards at the stage. Ogden segregates the under-21 from the over-21, so make sure you go in the correct side of the stage or you'll be wondering why there's no alcohol available. Alcohol prices are comparable to Fillmore (i.e., expensive) so drink up before coming here. Restroom had adequate stalls and there was not a wait throughout the show.

Pros: strong mixed drinks

Cons: not good for short people
