I love coming to Dazzle for shows! It is an intimate space with a nice menu and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

First, let me start by saying that I will forever support Dazzle. They bring in top jazz artists and I’m grateful we have the chance to see them in Denver.With that said, I’m disappointed in the new venue. I had such high hopes yet the layout is strange, the acoustics are not good in some of the seating areas, and much of the seating is wildly uncomfortable. The new menu is vastly improved over the last one although still overall mid (which is fine that’s not the focus but nonetheless a missed opportunity).A large portion of the seating area is near the bar which would be cool if there wasn’t a loud open kitchen just behind it adding clanging and talking to the jazz sets. The kitchen is so oddly placed that the waitstaff (who are great btw) have to carry tubs of dishes they’ve cleared from the other side of the audience outside in the winter time to bring them back inside a different double exterior entrance to the kitchen. If you go, do everything you can to sit in the main stage area otherwise the sound you experience will be muddy and there will be a lot of waitstaff activity.My greatest disappointment is the seating and layout. My favorite jazz clubs in other cities include vibey, cozy booths and moody lighting. Oh and a kitchen tucked away in the back somewhere so as to have a good flow for staff and limit sound transfer. They are a respite after a long day where you nestle in for an intimate night of jazz with a date or some friends. Aside from the two long booths at the back of stage opposite, there is nothing cozy about the new Dazzle space. One person I went with said it feels a bit like cafeteria seating and she’s not wrong. If you’re unfortunate enough to sit on one of the cheap plastic disc no-back stools at the high-top tables, your body will likely ache by the end of a 90 min set and you may have been better off standing.I’m still sad that Dazzle had a chance to hire a designer and finish a new space from scratch and we ended up with another awkward layout that’s not oriented around the best acoustics with cheap seating that is more fitting for a kids table at a large family gathering. I know it’s hard to make the numbers work on restaurants and venues these days so while holding my disappointment, I also give a lot of grace.All disappointment aside, we saw Joel Ross for the second time at Dazzle (first time in the prior venue) and this is why we will always keep coming back. The groups that come to Dazzle are what makes you want to go to Dazzle. Just don’t expect the moody, cozy jazz club you may have tucked into in another city because that isn’t the vibe.Dietary restrictions: Limited gluten free options. Enough for a light meal.

Very intimate jazz club. Wonderful atmosphere and the quality of musicians is phenomenal. Given that everyone was required to order menu items, the quality of the food leaves a bit to be desired and the portions are quite small for the prices.

Great jazz club in Denver right by the performing arts center. Service was very attentive. We got the espresso bourbon float for two. Creamy drink with a nice orange flavor. The music was nice and I loved the atmosphere. There was no cover charge on Saturday night, I think there usually might be? We sat at the bar seating since the seats by the stage have paid ticketed seating. Really enjoyed our night here. Highly recommend!

An extraordinary cultural gem. Denver is so lucky to be home to one of the world’s premiere jazz clubs. The new venue at the performing arts center is beautiful, chic, and comfortable. With a new venue patrons can book a seat to attend a live show or can stop by without a reservation for a drink or meal at the bar or lounge. Dazzle has earned its 5 star reputation and deserves our patronage to keep this beautiful venue and unique American art form alive and thriving.

denver is so lucky to be the home of one of the world's best jazz clubs. It is always a wonderful experience to attend a show. The latest iteration of the club at the performing arts center is a chic, beautiful, and comfortable space that elevates the unique American art form of jazz. The new club also has a nice choice of options for patrons. You can book a ticket to attend a live show, or you can stop by without a reservation for a drink or meal at the bar or lounge. This extraordinary cultural gem deserves our patronage.

Itching for a night out downtown? THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Need a perfect spot for a special occasion or date night? THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Seeking delicious cocktails, a variety of wines and beers on tap? THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Interested in being impressed by the talents of local musicians in the form of jazz, kids' presentations and/or a danceable tune? THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Want to be wined and dined by wonderful staff who create a friendly and welcoming vibe? THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Hungry for brunch, lunch or dinner from a menu filled with house made creations that are both great in presentation and delicious? THIS IS YOUR PLACE! My husband and I treated my parents to a birthday date night which proved to be one hell of a time! I'd easily return for another jazzy night out on the town!
Dazzle is quite a spacious live music venue with a stage, friendly staff, and a fun atmosphere with eats. We enjoyed Daruma.Since the ticketing rules are that we purchase a minimum number of eats (about which I am not complaining) it's too bad that the "dining" experience is crammed--tables are so minuscule--making airplane table tops or rolling laptop tables look sizeably generous.I think the place would do well if tables were more along the size of diner theater tables & contained a small light source? We'd order more a meal substantial meal!!

We saw Tatiana Eva-Marie at Dazzle last week and had a wonderful evening. Parking was easy, the venue is lovely, and the food/service was first rate. We will be returning to Dazzle in the future for more great music.

Excited Dazzle has moved into the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Wonderful staff and atmosphere, amazing murals by Detour, Jazz Holmes, and other artists, and great ticket prices. If you haven't been you should visit soon!

I really like the new venue, but at a recent show, a photographer (hired by the band) walked back and forth in front of the audience for the ENTIRE SHOW, taking photos of the band, blocking patron’s views. Dazzle staff just shrugged and said that was the band’s choice. Sorry Dazzle, but I was under the understanding that creating a environment wherein the audience’s experience is maximized was your primary goal. I stand corrected.
