The Fillmore is the best indoor venue in Denver. The sound is great and you cant get a bad view of the stage from anywhere. I agree with the other review that says not enough good acts come to the Filmore. Its always some obscure band, that attracts even more obscure people. Since "Live Nation" took over they have removed most of the table and chairs....WTF???? The seating was one of the nicer features of the Fillmore, and the new owners screwed that up bigtime! Personally, I have seen Govt Mule,(twice) .38 Special, The Doobie Bros. Merle Haggard, POD, and a few others I cant remember at the moment, and every show was excellent. The recent Govt Mule show (4-27-07) had to be one of the best shows of the years so far! Warren Haynes was on fire! Anyway, even without most of the tables and chairs, the Fllmore rocks, and is the best venue in town.

Pros: Great sound, great site-lines, great ambience. Love the chandeliers!

Cons: Not enough tables and chairs!

This is a perfect-sized place to see concerts. It's general admission and pretty much impossible to get a table and chairs, so plan on standing the entire time, which generally isn't a problem if you're enjoying the show. The setup works pretty well with good views of the stage regardless of where you are in the auditorium. Drinks are very expensive--I'd recommend drinking at a nearby bar before the concert and then just watching the show once you're at the auditorium. The bathroom lines are very long too--all the more reason to not drink a lot at the auditorium.

Pros: Perfect-sized place for concerts

Cons: Very expensive drinks

This is one of the best places to see a concert. It's not too big, where you feel overwhelmed, but it's not too small, where you feel cramped!

decent shows!! A decent venue with a HUGE main floor and surrounding platform areas with tables, the Fillmore is an ideal venue for big name entertainers. But why is the Fillmore bringing in such mediocre talent? With the exception of Elvis Costello and a few others, this place seems to attract entertainers that are either has-beens or are just plain lame. Please, no more Phil Lesh or the like - we get enough of that stuff from Red Rocks. Count on a decent waitstaff and stiff (but pricey) drinks.

Pros: Decent venue, Good pours, Good location

Cons: Mediocre perfomers, No smoking

Editor's Review

Colorado's premiere mid-size venue remains a jewel in the Clear Channel crown.  See the full editorial review.
