Cervantes

Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom sits on Welton Street in Five Points, and it's been a home base for jam bands, funk, and hip hop in Denver for years. The room next door, Cervantes' Other Side, gives the venue a second stage for smaller shows and late-night sets.

It's a good pick if you're into acts that jam out and stretch songs long, plus touring hip hop and electronic bills. Five Points has plenty of bars nearby for before or after the show.
