Dazzle Denver

I have been going to Dazzle for years. It's always a very special occasion. The Annie Booth Trio is a highlight of our holiday season. We went to the later show this year so we had drinks and dessert. The lemon olive oil cake was absolutely delicious! My daughter had the flourless chocolate cake and she said it was really good. The martini was also delicious and perfectly chilled. If you're looking for a night out on the town with some fantastic music, great vibes, and top notch service, this is the place to go.

If you're looking for a venue to casually watch music in a boisterous crowd, maybe cut the rug for a few, this place isn't it. If you're looking for an evening of Jazz from the best local talent and national traveling shows paired with classic cocktails and a solid wine list, this is your place. The intimate theater seating and open stage make the perfect backdrop for the experience. It's been a great addition to the downtown theater district. The music scene is rich and varied in Denver with all sorts of venues for all sorts of tastes. This is the place where you can get a little dressed up, avoid loud crowds and just have a full, immersive music moment. I always have a terrific time!

What a fantastic brunch experience! It was a perfect way to spend a relaxing Sunday morning, entertained by talented musicians. The buffet brunch offered an excellent selection of food, including all the usual dishes, along with the delicious pork green chili and Dazzle’s renowned mac & cheese. The only downside was the small table size, but our attentive server quickly cleared away our dirty dishes, making the most of our intimate setting. We’re definitely planning to return!

Such a great experience at Dazzle! Saw the wonderful CJRO perform a Davis & Coltrane tribute. Food was good (especially the GF chocolate cake!). Staff was friendly and helpful (quickly fixed a small missing food item). Tables could be slightly larger and they need more GF dairy-free vegetarian entrees with protein (I want to go back soon, but I would have to get the same thing for dinner). The music was amazing and the sound is good at any seat in the house! Awesome evening!

Dazzle’s Brunch is my new favorite date spot! The Sunday brunch is delicious, with many options for all. We enjoyed the eggs, grits, biscuits and gravy, fruit, and green salad most. The coffee was delicious and hot! The servers were friendly, attentive, and quick to offer their advice on some favorites from the drink menu beyond coffee and juice. The atmosphere felt romantic and relaxed. We will definitely be returning! Thank you Dazzle for a new date opportunity beyond the basic and typical!

Best jazz bar in Denver! Been going here since the original location and it’s always been a great vibe. Had a first date over the holidays I wanted to do something nice so I grabbed some roses and went by early where Elis (hope that’s spelled right) was able to have them placed on the table when we arrived. I thought that was great but to top it off he was kind enough to put in a word and bring out a personalized chocolate cake for us which tasted amazing. She really appreciated it and I’ll always cherish that moment and night thanks to the team there. Sending good energy Elis' way and major thanks to everyone there for a great experience!

Food is great,though not big portions of you are hungry. The service was attentive without being annoying, the atmosphere is amazing! Class act Jazz bands every time we went!

Great brunch spot with live music! We had the Dazzle Jazz Brunch with Adam Bodine. He was fun, putting a jazz spin on modern favorites and old time classics. The staff are all friendly and attentive. The food was solid. We had some of the sweet toasts with strawberries and bananas. A nice crunch and perfect balance of toppings. The Huevos Rancheros were a little unorthodox with chips and they were fantastic! Nice heat and the beans are spiced brilliantly. The chips add crunch and a nice salty element. Also tried a side of the biscuit and gravy. Biscuit is a little dense, but the gravy helped cut through. Standard fair. Quiche was flavorful with a gooey cheesy yumminess. While the portion size was plenty, the flavors left you wanting more. I will say this is more of a social and music experience than a food experience in a lot of ways. The food is solid, but the star is Adam and his piano. Bottomless mimosas were fabulous! 100% would go back.

Jazz. Nightclub. What an amazing place to listen to live jazz. Highly recommended. Went to the early 7pm show and still felt fresh for work the next day. Perfect!

What a hidden gem of a music venue! Came here to see Bill O'Connell on a Wednesday night. My dad and I came a little early so we could eat and enjoy the space. Bear in mind the tables are quite small, and it is a tight space. We did order three dishes so they actually brought out a second table to make sure we had enough space. The food was surprisingly good, but I will say the charcuterie board could have used a lot more crackers. Salad was delicious and same with the homemade chips. *They do have an automatic 20% gratuity This was such an intimate setting. We sat in the second row, which honestly, I thought at first was too close but it ended up being just fine. However, next time I will take the third row with the booth. Bill and band were awesome, the benefit of such a small venue is that you get to see magic at work. Their hands were moving like crazy and you could feel how in love with music everyone was. Even everyone in the crowd were in a trance. I did take off two stars because the night was kind of ruined by a group in the front row. Two parents I'm assuming sat down in the front row and pulled two other chairs up. Totally fine, however the young two girls that were with them came after the show started and were extremely disruptive. They kept talking during the show, using their phones and being a nuisance. Everyone around was visibly annoyed trying to ignore them. The man with them was trying to quiet them down but clearly it didn't work. What happened to basic concert etiquette? After 20 minutes of this, I leaned over to my dad saying how rude this family was. Low and behold in the middle of the set the two girls went outside, and when they were coming back, they were so rowdy they knocked over a glass of the gentleman to my right and spilled red wine all over me and there was shattered glass on the floor. They didn't apologize and just sat down. I ended up having to grab a waiter to clean the wine and glass up. Quite the disruption. Horrible, everyone around had their experience tainted because of these "girls" and on top of that she started crying and wouldn't stop talking. It truly spoiled the night, and even worse they disrespected Bill and the other band members. They were in the very front row and just couldn't relax to enjoy the show. I really hope the band knows how amazing they were. Overall, 3.5/5 stars. Not a reflection on the venue or food but more the experience. I would have appreciated the hosts (who seemed to have known this family personally), waiter or someone to have asked them to quiet down or moved them to a table in the back if they wanted to talk a bit as to not disrupt the other guests.

So much fun. We went there for Mother's Day 2024. Great BANDS and singers! Great food also

We have enjoyed Dazzle Jazz for 13 years, starting when my husband and I had our first date in the original Dazzle on Lincoln. The move to Bauer's had some loss of intimacy, but maintained the core character, Unfortunately, the move to the DCPA has nearly obliterated everything that was unique. The seating is terrible, the food menu is marginal, the stage is very small for the performers, the only remnant that made it enjoyable was being a listening club. We went to the Charlie brown Christmas show this evening and it is now announced that you are asked to keep your conversations to a reasonable level. The patrons in the bar area spoke in loud conversation throughout the 1 hour and 15 minute performance, shows used to be 1 1/2 hours. The Management did nothing to ask the guests to be quiet. It is sad to see the decline of a once vibrant, listening, jazz supper club .

We ended up here for father's day 2024 to check out their new dogs and honestly, we all left disappointed. Service was fine, but the tables are not conducive to having an actual meal or sharing much, especially if you get full mimosas. The act fell flat, though he handled a couple hecklers well - just wasn't entertaining. Which is a shame because we'd seen him at the old location and enjoyed (hence returning). Food was cold and lackluster as well, maybe because it's walked so far from the kitchen? I'm sad to say I don't think we'll return for this type of thing, but maybe drinks and a weekend show is more the vibe of this updated location?

I can't believe I seriously forgot to review this place! On a gf trip to where I used to live, I found out that Sy Smith was performing at this jazz area within the Denver Performing Arts Complex and I had to brave the cold to go. Sy was a musical friend of my best friend who passed away - DJ Kweston so I had to go to the performance as a tribute to both! The area was half full which was great for this intimate venue with small auditorium style seating. I can imagine how this place would jump in the summer and spring! I opted to get a Hot Toddy ($12) and slice of olive cake ($12) since this was a late night show. The olive oil cake was good and thick while the hot toddy helped move it down. The size and presentation of the slice of cake was okay for the price. I would ask for the cake to be warmed though since it was obvious it was in the frig before. With option to order via app and pay with your card, I think that needs to run a bit smoother with the waiters but it was good to have. All in all the venue and its set up for the artist was good to see. Sy was great as usual and it was good to get up to speed with her musical and cancer free journey while listening to great music! Cheers.

I'm very disappointed that Dazzle is one of the establishments who have decided to automatically add gratuity onto customer's bills and makes no mention of the added charge. It's egregious to me when someone doesn't know they've been charged and think they need to tip again, it's taking money from unassuming people. It was just 2 of us at the bar. We each had a drink and shared an app. That's it! There'd be NO expectation given that simple scenario (not a group or anything or big table) there'd be a 20% grat charge. Here's the multitude of problems I see with choosing to do this: - People are often out with others, they're busy, talking, trying to have a good time. It's a very distracting situation to notice a small line item on the bill. It should be verbally stated by staff that gratuity is being added. They know what they're doing by not saying anything and it is angering if anyone is trying to sneak a 40% double tip from unknowing customers. Do the right thing -- this ain't it. - Ever notice how faint the ink is on most of these laser-printed checks that most places now use? I swear it's by design. Half the time I can't even read what's on the lightly printed but also the small font choice. The ink isn't even black, it's grey on a white background. That's not easy to read. So, it's easy to not notice. - Additionally, bills with small, light writing on top of it are given in very dimly lit bars. Stacking the odds... you can't always see what's even listed on the bill to notice the extra charge was added. - Gratuity is NOT required. It never has been required. It's the choice of the customer to provide gratuity based on their choice and their perceived quality of service. Even if it's added it is still not required by any law. As server, I NEVER added gratuity to my customer's bills and NOT tell them it's there!! I knew it was wrong to do so, so I did not do it. I'd feel guilty and not want to bamboozle them with double the gratuity unbeknownst to them. And I only made $3.00 per hour!!!! It's still that amount in my home state, it has not even gone up for servers (in particular not bartenders) in all the years since. They make a TON more here in Denver per hour. I believe it is around $17-$19 per hour on top of the tip entitlement they feel, even for mediocre service. I know some people only think about the short game. How much can I get from people asap, right now. But, think of the long game. As restaurants and owners continue add all kinds of different fees whether it be cost of living or historical charges or whatever you want to call it -- on top of that the baseline for gratuity expectations continues to go up from what once was 15% ... to 18% to 20% to 25% I am seeing at times. The people dining out are also trying to make a living. If establishments continue to make going out cost-prohibitive, what do they think this does to the long game? It makes going out unaffordable and something people will do less and less. I see lots of empty seats sometimes. And for Pete's sake, let people decide how much they want to add for gratuity. Add a "suggested" line, but don't auto-add it for every single check. "Suggested" precalcuated gratuity line items should be BEFORE tax/fees, technically there shouldn't be a tip added on top of gov't tax. Which I notice is done incorrectly a lot, as well. Calculate it yourself! Can't trust establishments to do it right anymore. This is wrong, and people know it.

We had been at the previous location of Dazzle and we really enjoyed it. We went to the new location last night. The venue is long and narrow with the stage in the middle along one of the long walls. I'm not sure what platform I used to get tickets, but we got a table three rows back from the stage. This sounds awesome. It wasn't. We were seated at stage left, so that we were looking at the back of the heads of two of the performers and at the side of the other artists. It was almost like we were watching from backstage. Also, it was sort of like looking at the butt of a Christmas tree for two hours. But with music. We were near the drums and away from the brass. I didn't even know the band had a trumpet player until the singer said something about it. Personally I would have preferred if the stage was at one end of the room and we were seated in row 100. At least we would be seeing the band straight on. I think this room would be a better bowling alley, given its shape. Or a Subway sandwich shop. I can almost smell the fresh baked bread. I'm sure the band was excellent. At least you could tell that they combed their hair. Oh, the service was really good and we enjoyed a nice bottle of wine.

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!

I love Dazzle at night but don't go for the brunch. Although the perform were excellent and met usual dazzle standards the food was so poor it was almost inedible. Go someplace else for brunch.

Did not try the food here, since this was an after dinner event, but I had the distinct pleasure of hearing Katie Glassman and Snapshot perform on Valentine's night at Denver Dazzle. Although the seating was a bit cramped, the stage, lighting and acoustics were better than expected and I will be back soon!

Such a cool jazz club! If you love music at all, visit while in Denver!! I had been to Dazzle once before, but I am not a Denver local and the last time I was there it was at a different locations a block or so from its current location. The new location is convenient to the Larimer area and was a pleasant venue. I stopped in to see a jazz show one evening while I was in Denver for work. The show itself was sold out - but the staff was happy to let me come in to sit in the bar area to easy the show and grab a.beverage. To be honest, that was probably even better than sitting int eh main audience area. If was off to the side, but the view was still pretty good. While there I ordered a Coffee Martini and a Prime Rib sandwich - both were delicious. The bartender/serve was friendly and attentive. I will definitely continue making a habit of checking out shows at Dazzle each time I am in Denver.

Dazzle is a great music venue in the city the food is pretty good but we typically eat before we go to the show. They offer a varied menu, more snack foods than anything else. The ambiance and service makes up for the "so so" food options!

If you love listening to Jazz in an intimate setting, Dazzle is the place to visit. Located at the corner of Arapahoe and 14th street, it is a great venue for enjoying live music. PARKING Parking the car is convenient because there is a multi-level Public Parking garage connected to the Art Center where Dazzle is located. The entrance to Dazzle is just steps from the corner of 14th and Arapahoe, as is the entrance to the parking garage. I also noticed a stairway at the corner of the parking garage that leads from the corner of Arapahoe and 14th up to the first level of the parking garage. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED Unless you are going to stop in on a Friday or Saturday between 10PM and midnight to listen to a performer in their smaller lounge next to the bar, you'll have to reserve a seat before entering Dazzle. You can not walk off the street and buy a ticket at the door for the scheduled entertainers. SEATING Every seat in the main listening area has a view of the slightly raised stage. It's doesn't show it on the seating when you're reserving tickets, but the second and third row of seating are raised like bleachers so you don't have to look through someone to see the performances. The second and third rows (B and C) are cushioned bench seats. The nose-bleed seating, row C is at most 25 feet from the performers. :-) The first row of seats (row A) are chairs with a small table between them. This table is just big enough for two elbows and two drinks. If you order food, they bring over another small table to put your food on. There are seats right in front of the stage. If you spill your drink it will probably wet the shoes of the performers. The seating on the sides of the stage are also chairs with small tables for your elbow and a drink. If you don't care to see the band and you just want to listen to the music, you can sit at the tables located in the bar or lounge area. The sound of the band carries, so you can clearly hear it from wherever you are sitting. Either way, if there is a scheduled performer, you have to stop at the entrance and wait for the person at the door to check your reservation and take you to your seat. LISTENING, NOT BACKGROUND MUSIC One thing I've noticed in most music venues around Denver is that the audience talks while the musicians play. Not at Dazzle. Once they start playing, you get an uninterrupted listening experience. It's like watching a stage play. DRINKS & FOOD This is a place you come for the music. Drinks and food are nice, but not the main draw of this place. Dazzle requires each attendee to order two food or beverage items during the show. I saw the menu and I saw plates of food being served. The selection looked varied, the food looked good, and the portions generous, but I didn't try any because we had just come from dinner. We had two glasses of wine and two Cokes. Our bill was $44. Supposedly that included tax and an upcharge so all wait staff get paid better. I'm fine with that. Just letting you know. BAR / LOUNGE Dazzle has a bar and lounge if you head left, instead of right, when you enter the place. They said on Friday and Saturday nights (10pm to midnight) they are going to have a performer in the lounge. There is no cover charge for that. All in all it is a convenient, pleasant place to enjoy two hours of Jazz in a modern setting.

Among the most underrated jazz spots, this unassuming space sparkles with great musical talents, fun bites and friendly service. They are in the sore need of vegan options, however, hence the four stars. They have so many great events, it's worth your while to check out their site and schedule your visit.

Really lovely & intimate venue. Dazzle books an amazing variety of musicians and usually at affordable prices. Limited food menu and full bar; patrons are encouraged to order two items, minimum.

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!

Terrible everything. $34 tickets, $17 parking, mandatory 2 items and a hidden 20% fee on the check. Tiny seats, tiny table, tiny charcuterie for $27.60. Can of coke for $6. I won't go back and next time will just go to a bar with a jazz musician playing.

A great venue for small concerts & performances. We enjoyed an evening of entertainment by Kenny Passarelli and Amy Loper - performing their "Forever is Now" medley. Evenings have different performers. Many excellent musicians have been here and are in line. The food is okay. We had salads and shared an impossible burger. The salads were fresh, but a bit peculiar - at least to me. The impossible burger was fine. Not excellent as we have had in some other venues. The ambiance was good. We were at a table stage left, upfront. Right behind us we're Botha - for 4. Those looked great. It's where we seek to be seated next time.

AwEsOmE!!! We're from out of state & Dazzle on 14th st is such a great venue for intimate performances! It's in the Performing Arts complex & has a modern vibe. Service was amazing as was the food! The appetizer style dishes we had were all very tasty & felt prices were reasonable considering it's at a venue with great servers. Loved using the QR code to place orders. I read reviews, saw photos of the previous location which seemed to be a bit outdated with a full dinner service. The elder couple next to us were regulars at the other location & although missed the "old vibe" were having fun jamming to the beat at this new location. Being open for less than 2 months there are still a few small kinks that may need to be worked on but overall, a fantastic place to take a date or group to enjoy a performance. Can't wait to return the next time we're in town again.

Intimate, beautiful venue downtown. I went to see a friend's band perform - the seats and tables are arranged in close proximity to each other so I was close to the band the entirety of the show. It's a "no talking" venue while the band plays. They charge a minimum of two drinks or two food items while you're seated, in addition to the cover/cost to attend the show ($25-50). I didn't have a drink but the food was pretty bland for the cost. I had an Italian sandwich, mostly comprised of bread and not much meat, veggies, etc. I might come back for a jazz event, but nothing was really a "WOW" to me while I was there for the folk/indie band.

Sadly we did not have a great experience at this new location. We loved the previous local. Would usually get a high top where it had good views of the band but were not on top of them. We bought tickets the night before and got seats on the side in the second row. I pretty much looked at the back of the piano player that was 3 feet away the whole night. The new design is weird and tight. You are literally sitting on top of people. We opted to get dinner because we had good food at the last location. It was comical. The tables are so small, I had to put my drink on the floor and eat my salad on my lap. It was fine. Food was decent. We were discussing after if we would feel drawn to go back. But we concluded it may be better to look for another jazz venue. Sad really. The venue design just sucks. The staff was great. The greeter was super helpful.

New digs in DPAC was specially designed for Dazzle, placing kitchen way in back to not disturb during shows. Main stage has nearly 180 degree seating area with each row of tables elevated higher - there are no bad seats. Food & drinks are perfect, if a bit pricy. Staff are attentive, they will keep serving you throughout performances. Get there early to find downtown (paid meter) street parking, otherwise pay for a garage spot nearby

7 years ago the former Dazzle location was the site of my first date with my now husband. So we were excited to go and see the "new" location! It pains me to give this such a low score but we were really underwhelmed with the venue. There were some great things! The service was great (Felix was awesome) and the entertainment was wonderful! We also had some great drinks and appetizers. However, the seating in the venue packs you in so close with such small tables that I equate it to being on a packed airplane. The tables were so small we didn't even order dinner because we just didn't think it would be comfortable. The chairs are small and uncomfortable for sitting in for a couple of hours. The area our table was at was at the very corner where all of the wait staff brought the dirty dishes so we constantly had people walking in front of us all night. The wait staff were great to be quick and discreet! But it was quite a distraction. Overall we didn't feel like we could fully enjoy the night because of how uncomfortable the seating/table, etc were.

Save yourself and skip brunch with Adam Bodine. In fact, just skip their brunch!! Food was cold. Salmon appears to come from a can. The eggs, meat etc are comparable to the food that you get at a Motel 6 breakfast buffet. Adam Bodine is just bad. His voice synthesizer, made up lyrics about Toys "R" Us etc was cringy. Don't get me going on the song where he played the zipper of his backpack. (Yes,seriously) Not sure if he's trying to be a comedian or musician, but he fails at both. (In fairness, 4 people seemed to enjoy him)

Been a huge fan of Dazzle for many years. However, this location has way too many seats on the wings of the stage. It was extremely difficult to see and hear the performers from the side located seats.

Dazzle has wonderful music and ambience but their policy regarding food and drink is ridiculous. You purchase a ticket for the music and are then required to buy two items either food or drink per person. This ends up being exorbitantly expensive. It is very disappointing and will definitely make me think twice before purchasing another ticket.

went on a friday night with my boyfriend for the first time. the live music was amazing, drinks were delicious, beautiful ambiance, and service was impeccable. highly recommend Dazzle as a date night spot that doesn't disappoint.

The jazz club in Denver that grabs the best national and local acts. Decent food but mostly it's a great small venue to enjoy some quality jazz.

Took a party to brunch on Sunday. Great service, friendly staff, accommodating management. The pianist was talented and engaging but not so much as to distract from the meal. Outstanding experience. We all left jazzed and tummies full. Will go back.

Full Disclosure: I did not dine or drink at this venue but I want to clarify previous posts. There is a cover, even for the bar. I was meeting a friend for a night cap and thought it would be nice to hear music in the background. I got here first and a man on a phone waved at me wildly as I was about to enter the bar. He mumbled, "Cover..." while continuing on his phone conversation. When I asked, "Even to drink at the bar?" He gave me a look like I conducted a mortal sin without answering me. Au revoir!

Went last Saturday for Sax Holiday show. Hadn't been to new space. Music and service were great. Ambiance not so much. Not a cool or inviting vibe. Too bad we used to really enjoy the old Dazzle location.

I arrived during happy hour, but no mention was made of happy hour at all. Potato chips and a thimble of "onion dip" was $11. Chips could have come from a grocery store bad and the dip was so thin, no body at all. I asked for more dip and no mention was made of a $2 up charge for another thimble of "dip". Automatic gratuity added to check, which explained the bartender's indifference. If you want to pay over $35 for one cocktail and some chips, this is the place for you. I will not be back.

Just saw a Christmas jazz show here. Music was fairly good, venue was nice too. The only thing really off-putting was the owner of the club (who was playing that night with the band) kept getting on the mic plugging himself and the venue, (and the web site) multiple times throughout the whole show. It was not super tasteful. Say it once, (MAYBE) twice and then let the music speak for itself and keep bringing us back. Don't keep telling us you're the "best jazz club in the world". You have a nice venue and location, and this really left us not speaking highly of an otherwise pretty nice experience.

Dazzle Jazz! This was a lot of fun, I came here to support a buddy playing for MJO. The food was a little pricy which is understandable because they don't make money on the tickets, so we balled out on some small plates, wine, and dessert. It was a swanky little place, great for jazz and hanging with friends but would be too loud to take a date. I'd give 4 stars, but our server Zach, was super personable, kind, and helpful with the menu and ordering process even with the loud music, that I'm giving it the full 5. I will be back to check out their new location soon!

Fun intimate venue to take in a show. We saw El Javi perform here and it was a great time. Reasonable prices on drinks. I wasn't blown away by the food but wasn't really expecting much from a music venue's kitchen.

music was great and service ok .. food was not good at all for the price we paid for a prime rib sandwich was more like a Arby's roast beef and for $22 no fries or chips they were extra won't be eating there again. and beware they add gratuity automatically not cool I like to tip for food and service. ..

The food was good, service was great and the show was awesome! Great ambiance also! I recommend for date night or if you just want to hear good, live music. I will definitely return when I visit Denver again!

The food we got tasted good but it's overpriced. Honestly, I don't think I would've balked at the tiny $21 prime rib sandwich, consisting of just bread and meat, if it had come with fries or even chips on the side. But it came with just two small slices of pickle, not even a pickle wedge, and not enough food considering I spent $21 on it. You shouldn't pay $21 for a main entrée and walk away hungry.

I love that Dazzle has remained in existence as Denver's premier jazz venue. I don't love the new space. It's a long narrow room with the bar and kitchen at one end and the main walkway directly in front of the stage. With a two-item minimum purchase, the wait staff go back and forth in front of the musicians throughout the show. And the cost can be out of reach for many jazz fans. The cover, ticket fees, minimum purchase, and mandatory 20% service charge means you'll easily spend more than $50 per person for one set, not including downtown parking. The wait staff are competent and personable--doing the best they can given the setup. The food is creative and good. Dazzle is still one of the few places in Denver to catch the best local and out of town jazz players.

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.

(Yeah, they should get rid of the auto gratuity, which is confusing, but will not avail myself to an essay on the matter.) The Bill Charlap Trio on 8/3 was more than memorable. I prefer the old Baurs location a hundred yards closer to me (saw the legendary Benny Golson and Pat Martino), but we're lucky to have a great jazz club in Denver. I'm embarrassed that I don't walk over every month. Like all things of quality, jazz will someday be gone here.

Dazzle didn't dazzle; instead it underwhelmed. Poor service. Waitress had "I don't really want to be serving you" demeanor every time she approached. And some missed on certain menu items. First impression: seemed like a cool venue to hear some jazz, sip nice cocktails and share a good meal. We weren't there for the jazz show this night; however, so we were seated in a separate room which was fine. We started by ordering an appetizer of roasted cauliflower with the Yelp "check in" offer. I stepped out to the restroom and by the time I returned our "roasted" cauliflower had been brought out. Only, it wasn't actually roasted. Perhaps briefly warmed, but it was essentially a slab a raw cauliflower with some melted cheese on top. Now I like raw cauliflower but not when I order a ROASTED cauliflower appetizer! Our coattails were enjoyable. I ordered the Rivoli which was quite good (at $14 it better be!). I did ask our aforementioned-server about a different drink on the menu. She wasn't familiar with it so she said she'd ask the bartender. Nope. Never reported back. Whatever. I ended up ordering a salad and Brussels Sprouts for dinner. Salad was fine, not amazing. Brussels were tasty and well prepared. My notes of friends truffle fries were good. Bottom line, tepid/disinterested service, menu misses and high cost (total bill for three Ps $115+tip) don't make me feel excited to return.

great service. great music. amazing ambiance. intimate setting. makes for a fun night out

This is a nice, grown and classy place. I love the atmosphere. However, I really wish you would add appetizers on your menu. Not everyone wants a full meal, and adding some type of finger foods would be great. It's kinda pricey, but I guess that's to be expected. The tickets are priced really low, but by the time you leave, everything adds to almost 200 dollars with the 14% additional gratuity. Another thing if you pay with your card vs. paying with cash It's even higher. But the performances are absolutely amazing. I just wish you guys would add more food options on the menu.

New location. New and superior club. Great design and acoustics. Excellent drink menu- have not tried the food. If you're into jazz give "new" Dazzles a try. BTW Dazzles also has a free late night piano/ small combo area.

TonyL Absolutely wonderful. I went on a Saturday evening and the performance was exceptional. It was a Cuban jazz group that was terrific. The dinner very good, the service was exceptional, the pricing was reasonable, and the setting was very very good. I cannot wait to go back again.

This music venue offers a great performance calendar by various talented musicians. I was here for a vocalist performance by Lindsay Day. The check-in process was very orderly - both ticket and Covid vaccination verification (show your app or card). Seats were divided into Tier 1 and Tier 2 (at least for this event), based on the distance to the podium. Due to labour shortage, the food menu was reduced to reflect the capacity of the kitchen staff. Nonetheless, both food and drinks were great! Please note that Dazzle adds a 20% gratuity to all checks automatically.

Solid cocktails and apps, but the ambiance was the winner here - great live music venue in an intimate setting.
