Marquis Theater

I love seeing shows here! Great little venue, sound is usually very good, beer and pizza are good. Ticket prices can be great if you can get to the box office and avoid $16 of fees (still possible?) on top of a $21 ticket(seems like the very definition of exorbitant). My last experience could have been better though. To be fair I did complicate my evening by starting at one show and trying to end at another and like the old fart that I have become thought that having cash or card ready to buy a ticket to a show that didn't sellout would work. Instead of seeing Bass Drum of Death in the venue I got to listen for free on the sidewalk. Literally talking with the doorman with no authority or incentive to help just limit. I would have spent probably $50-60 on a ticket for 30-40 minutes of pure enjoyment of a band I like, bought beer, and merch instead we just hung out together on the sidewalk. Brilliant modern business practice, glad our digital overlords are making everything so much better. Totally makes me understand and appreciate the fees now. I review commercial plans for a living and can understand some sensitivity to overall occupant load, but the show was not sold out and while enjoying my sidewalk seats numerous patrons left so life safety / occupant load can't be a real argument here. Just one more brick in the wall obstructing Denver downtown from succeeding. So I went to Herbs after the sidewalk show and gave them money for beer and music...

We had a really good experience at the Marquis Theater! We had never been there before and bought tickets to see Nathan Evans and the Saint PHNX Band. It was our 4 year old’s first concert ever (he LOVES Nathan Evans). We were able to park across the street in the garage making for an easy walk. We arrived about and hour before the doors open with maybe 6 other families ahead of us. Definitely would recommend arriving at least an hour before doors open so you are near the front of the line. This allowed us to get inside and get a spot right next to the stage. There are tables and chairs but it’s first come first serve. If it’s winter, dress warm for when you’re waiting outside because it does get chilly. We were able to bring a sling bag plus a little hip seat for our son to sit on during the concert. If you plan to bring your kids, just bro prepared for a LOT of standing and holding them. All worth it. We had a blast overall!

Great little venue for music. The drinks are a reasonable price, and the pizza is good. What more could you want?

Amazing venue for concerts and tasty pizza on the side. Larimer street gets a bit sketchy after dark so keep that in mind when attending events.
