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. The club is located in the heart of downtown where parking meters have a 2 hour limit, which means you are better off spending more by parking in a garage or taking a cab.
Hours:
- Daily 9am-2am
Admissions:
- No cover charge
