Hard Rock Cafe Denver

Hard Rock Cafe Denver sits right on the 16th Street Mall, part of the restaurant chain's small run of venues that also host live music alongside the usual dining room. It's a walkable, easy stop if you're already downtown for the evening.

Shows here tend to be a mix of touring rock and cover acts, booked in alongside the regular restaurant business rather than as a dedicated concert hall. Worth checking what's on before you go, since the schedule leans casual and varies week to week.
