EVERGREEN. There are few better places to hear live music west of Denver than Cactus Jack's year-round, creekside heated deck. Local and regional bluegrass, jam, and cover bands take the stage every Friday and Saturday, much to regulars' delight. When the snow starts falling, the party moves inside to a warm, wood-paneled space strung with Christmas lights and exuding a welcoming feel. You'll find eight beers on tap; a menu brimming with tasty appetizers, burgers, and sandwiches; and pool tables and video games to while away the evening.

LODO. El Chapultepec has been hosting jazz and blues notables since 1951, including the likes of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. The place is small and usually crowded, but it's known throughout Denver as the city's best venue for live blues and jazz. A limited menu of drinks and Mexican food is offered, and you'll want to try the burritos, which are almost as legendary as the performers. Live music every single night, and never a cover charge! Two-drink minimum per set.

SOUTH DENVER. Get ready for loud, funky music at Herman's Hideaway. You'll enjoy the likes of Big Head Todd & the Monsters and Opie Gone Bad, who know how to get crowds rocking and on their feet. Performers with diverse musical styles have graced Herman's stage; as a result, you're likely to hear pop, reggae, Latin, jazz, hip-hop, rap, and blues. The crowd varies from night to night, but the mix is always interesting, to say the least.

HIGHLANDS. Mead Street Station is widely considered one of Denver's best British pubs. The large food menu includes pub fare as well as more innovative offerings, although it's hard to compete with a pint of Guinness and a serving of requisite fish and chips. The drink menu is sure to please as well, thanks to a diverse supply of beers (on tap and bottled), wines, and single malt scotches.The popular pub also offers live music five nights a week, most usually rock or jazz.

EAST DENVER. This one-time LoDo venue has migrated east to Lowry, the quickly growing residential and commericial area on the outskirts of the city. A warm color scheme with wood accents makes the spot below the Tavern Lowry an intimate, cozy space in which to hear live music, be it blues, jazz, or even big band. First-rate acoustics and free parking are improvements on the old location. Available for private parties too.

EVERGREEN. Both well-known artists and little-known local dynamos play at The Little Bear, drawing plenty of regulars. You never know who will be playing – it could be anyone from blues great John Lee Hooker to a Beatles cover band or a young alt-rock upstart. Perhaps best described as a rustic Western saloon and restaurant, The Little Bear also offers satisfying pub fare, including burgers, sandwiches, salads, and delicious appetizers. Weekday happy hours are the perfect time to kick back and take advantage of drink specials.
