Didn’t expect this place to be as welcoming and inclusive as it was. Had a lot of fun! There’s many things to do! Play pool, play games, ride the mechanical bull, go line dancing, learn how to lasso. It was a great time and I will be going back next time I’m in the Denver area. I will say though that the drinks tasted watered down, which was my only qualm but honestly I was having such a good time that I didn’t care.

Don't park in the front of the building, it's all reserved. Don't park to close to the doors in back before they open or you could end up in their reserved spaces that weren't marked and they'll tow your car. The head of their security lives on a power trip and seems to want to make sure EVERYONE knows who he is. As a concert venue this place is horrible! I think they use an old Aiwa stereo with the volume at max. You can hear loud but that's it. Oh ya, and one bathroom.

We had such a great time at the Grizzly Rose! We didn’t get any drinks, but we had some fries and took the dance lessons, highly recommend! The instructor made it super fun and easy to follow, even for beginners. The vibe was welcoming and energetic. Can’t wait to come back!
