Magic Rat

Magic Rat is the live music room inside The Elizabeth Hotel in downtown Fort Collins, at 111 Chestnut St. It runs a steady year round lineup of rock, folk, blues, and jazz, with local and regional acts like Adam Klein, Tom Andes and Keith Burnstein, Wildlove Tigress, Dr. Lunch, and Cold Chocolate passing through.

It is a smaller, intimate space, good for hearing a songwriter or a tight blues band without shouting over a crowd. Worth building a night around if you are already downtown or staying at the hotel.
