Fillmore Auditorium

I went to a Citizen Soldier concert here. The vibe was amazing. The workers were serious with their work but fun to be around. They didn’t ruin the atmosphere. The place was very organized and looked amazing. The wait was a little long but I didn’t mind. Loved and will definitely go again!

Scanning tickets and entering was super easy. Security was friendly and helpful. The venue is actually pretty big. There’s big signs to point out restrooms and food so that was super helpful. Enjoyed the concert. Music was good. Sound was decent as well. Couple bands were hard to understand, but main one was really good.

Been attending shows at The Fillmore for decades. Never a bad time! Drinks were extremely easy to get this time, not once did I have to wait for even a single person in line. Lots of drink stations. Great sound per usual. Keep it up Fillmore!

Bullet for my Valentine put on a great show. Trivium really got the crowd going. We loved the way they had the merch line you scanned a code and then they texted you when it was your turn, which meant you could go get drinks or find a spot instead of waiting in line. The staff were really nice.

Have lived in Denver for a really long time but never caught a show at this storied venue. I should have. It is basically a giant barn, not a bad thing. Acoustics are top notch, I was in the back VIP and everything was clear and perfectly loud. No baffling or echoes. General admission is a mostly big flat space so you're going to be up close and personal with folks. VIP off to the sides and back are nice. Backstage is surprisingly roomy all things considered. The bars are nicely stocked, nothing super fancy but good enough. Staff, from what I saw, was polite and on top of things. Parking is not the best. Not many choices near the venue and given the size of The Fillmore and the dense housing in the area, street and surface lot spaces will fill up. If you do not mind walking it is a lot less stressful (and a nice 10-15 minute walk) to the garages on Sherman and 17th. The Fillmore may be the best concert venue in Denver and I was taken completely by surprise.

The Fillmore in Denver is a solid mid-sized venue with great sound and a cool historic vibe. The layout can get crowded, but sightlines are decent. Parking is tricky, so plan ahead. Great spot for live music!

Great venue with awesome ADA accommodations. Good drinks and super friendly staff. Loved seeing Citizen Soldier!

I’ve seen some great artists in there but man is it hot. I was there seeing Jessie Reyes a few days ago - I vomited from the heat (and likely because I had dinner before arriving) and when we moved to the back of the facility to get some air, we saw at least 5 different security teams rushing around with flashlights and wheelchairs because people were passing out left and right. We didn’t arrive until shortly before Jessie went on so I can’t speak for the instances prior to that. They may consider swapping one of those like 8 chandeliers for some industrial fans. There’s just no air movement at all down in the GA pit. It’ll be a long while before I forget that experience.

Had a great time here seeing Gavin Adcock during a week night. The last concert I attended was in New York and I've never in my life experience so much cup throwing in my life, but it's definitely a cultural thing here. So don't be surprised if you get soaked with beer or whatever shooters people have smuggled in. the lines for the bars are insane and hardly move. Don't ask me why since they offer like five basic drink options at all the stands. The security of this place is also pretty insane so at least you know you won't be victimized by mass shooter. ‍ Frankly, the best part about this venue is how quickly they're able to move people in the event center, even though they literally treat you like TSA

Came here on a Thursday night to see Benson Boone, it was so much fun and busy! They were hosting the Alice in winterland, they had many great artists. They had lots of people scanning tickets, metal detectors and checking bags, made it easy to get in. We did not wait in line long at all! They offer coat checks, we did not utilize it but to know they have that is awesome! We wanted to grab a drink before the show started and they have atleast 4 bars, that means we were not waiting in a long line. We both chose the wildberry mojito, which cost $23! The price for sure was a shock. It came in a little shaker bottle that you take with you and the cap comes off and is a shot glass but below is a hole to drink from. It's a cool design but because it's multiple pieces it leaked alot. It did taste very good but was not strong. Not worth the price. The floor is very flat so it was hard seeing the stage over everyone else, do wish there were more steps or gradient to see over people. The sound though was very good, you could hear the words well over the music and it was clear. It was well lit, the chandeliers were pretty and reflected lights so well. Overall it's a nice venue, not run down and good quality music. The drinks are over priced, but there is no long waits. I would come back for a smaller artist so it's not too crowded.

Really cool venue inside and out. Pretty easy to get in once we were directed to the correct door for our tickets. Lots of different bars and restrooms, so waits were never long. Be sure you understand the different seating options and locations before buying your tickets. We were at one of the raised four-top tables in the lounge area. Views were great. Also, take time to walk around and look at all the pictures on the wall, so you learn about the history of the beautiful venue. Lighting and sound were a bit of an issue, but I don't know if it was the venue or the bands. The first two (including The Jesus and Mary Chain) sounded fine, but they didn't use any spotlights, so they seemed to be shrouded in different shades of colored darkness. The headliner (Psychedelic Furs) had more spotlights on, but I thought the lead's mic was up too loud, and his voice sounded hoarse and harsh to me. Still a great show overall.

Have visited location several times and it doesn't disappoint. Great venue with great drinks!!! I would definitely eat dinner prior to arrival but the drinks don't disappoint!! Plenty of parking available if you give yourself enough time. Over all a great experience!

Not my favorite venue in Denver, but not the worst. The drink prices are outrageous- $19 for a tall beer without tip. They don't allow water bottles in, although they have water fountains and refill stations with cups. They did have tons of bars, so service was quick. Security getting in was quick and easy too- they did check big bags, but the vast majority was just walk through with the modern metal detectors. Free products in the bathroom, although some joker put "voice activated" stickers on the paper towel dispenser that was so close to convincing me. Didn't use the charging station, but nice that it was available.

Shout out to Fillmore Auditorium for having free ear plugs and water here ! I appreciate how clean it is and air conditioning and good security. The people working here are really kind as well. The venue itself is beautiful and they have had so many amazing shows come through here.

Nice view from the balcony, the sound is a little loud though. I've never had to wear earplugs at a venue before, but here I def did. Prices are decent.

Attended the venue for a Brett Young concert. The venue was a lot bigger than I thought. It is a very cool venue and I enjoyed it very much. I think they do a great job with having plenty of service. I saw that they did serve food and we didn't order any food. The concert was a blast. I definitely look forward to more concerts or shows at this venue.

My favorite thing about the Fillmore are the options for seats. I'm so glad I paid for a seat because the floor was super packed. I did come here to see Kard last year and there were seats on the floor so it is artist dependent. The venue is interesting because it was 15 min before the show started and there was still a long line for security check in. It went by semi quick but factor that in. The venue itself is just okay. It small but gets packed and hot real quick. Honestly have no idea how everyone survived floor. The staff is pretty efficient and they do enforce safety laws which I appreciate. For example, if they see you standing on the stairs, someone will come and tell you to leave within 3 minutes.

Saw Ice Spice here last night and it was incredible! The venue is spacious with plenty of options for standing up close or sitting on the edges or even in a little balcony overlooking the stage which was nice! Location is also awesome since there are plenty of options for food and drinks around it. Only downside of the Fillmore was that my two drinks inside came out to $44 which was crazy expensive but other than that, the bartenders and staff were really sweet.

Truly a great Denver concert venue. As always, parking can be hard to find down Colfax, but do your research before coming down to snag a spot near the venue. Entry is well organized and moves quickly. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Concessions have some variety while also having a few food and snack options. However, it's concert pricing so it's not cheap. The Fillmore holds just under 4,000 people and is a great space to see some of your favorite artists in a more intimate setting. Upgrades are available once in the venue and while buying tickets online. Buying an actual seat is an option. I've never done it before, but it seems like a good deal because you get your own service, restrooms and private area. All in all, this is one of my favorite venues to see a concert.

What a nice venue! My friends had tickets to see The Rose and I jumped at the chance just to experience the venue alone. Doors opened at 6:30p and the line wrapped all the way around the block back into the Wendy's parking lot and back around again. Luckily we found parking a block away (street parking although Wendy's did charge $40 if you wanted to park there-right next door to the venue). It took us about an hour to get in and the security staff was friendly. Once inside, one of the security door watchers told us there was a bar toward the front of the stage that had no line, and it didn't.. the whole concert whereas the one by the entrance did. It's nice that you can stand on the sides behind seats and still get a real awesome view. Great venue, friendly staff, floors weren't sticky and we had a great time. I'd come back to this venue again.

Going to the 2023 Hollywood Undead show was my first time at this venue. It was an incredible experience. The venue is absolutely gorgeous with chandeliers and fantastic security.

BOX area was nice but the bartender in that are needed to move with sense of urgency. The sound was horrible! Do not recommend

The venue is nice. Lighting and stage are good but the sound is horrendous. It sounds like approaching an outdoor show from two blocks away. Or listening to a band play on the floor below your apartment. The only thing that is clear is the guitars and everything else is mud. You can still have a great time but if it's a band you really like you will be disappointed. There was even a couple times it took me some time to figure out what song was being played because it was so muddy.

Great venue all kinds of music choices. Spacious space, memories on the wall and a great crowd. Good way to spend a Birthday with friends. Kooks Headlining. Great opening band The Vaccines. Cheers and SYOY!

This is a really stunning auditorium that everyone should check out at least once. They have always had amazing performers and entertainment here. It is esthetically pleasing in all the ways from the lighting and chandeliers with plenty of space to dance roam around and explore! There are lots of bars with plenty of options including specialty drinks. The sound system is incredible as well and there is really no "bad spot" in the house. All of the staff from the front to the back is hard working kind and help make everyone feel safe. I am really looking forward to coming to another show here real soon!

Had an awesome time, there was a little bit of miscommunication with the time that the show started between the artist and the venue so we had to wait a bit extra but it was worth it, staff were friendly, security was good, WATER WAS PROVIDED, which was amazing.

Hmm... I haven't quite decided how I feel about the Fillmore, but it was far from my favorite concert experience in Denver. Came here with my friend to see SF9 (K-Pop boy band) where a bunch of annoying kids were harrassing their neighbors with AirDrop. Didn't realize that was the newest immature prank to pull. Security staff was chill. Take Uber because parking is terrible. Seating is a bunch of narrow folding chairs that make it hard to navigate. Prioritize getting a seat on the side with more space if possible. Anyways, there's so many other venues in Denver I prefer over this one.

I've seen a couple shows at Fillmore (AFI and Beartooth). It's got a cool vibe with the chandeliers and wall decor. Not much parking in the area but I can usually find a street spot a couple blocks away on 17th. It holds 3,000 so the security line can take 30 minutes to an hour, but it moves pretty quick. They have a coat check for chilly nights, $5 per item I believe. Drink prices have gone up recently (like everything else, right?) so a 24oz watery beer or Truly seltzer sets you back $18 + tip. They have a drinking fountain and water refill station near the front. There's a couple full bars plus some side drink stations, lines can be pretty long on sold out nights. The sound quality is quite good, although every band sounds a bit different. The venue feels quite large mainly because it's so deep, but there are different tiers to the GA section so there's not really a bad spot to be found.

In terms of artists that played Shpongle and cosmic trigger were great. But the rest of the lineup was pure garbage. Whoever put the bill together should consider a career change. I can't believe how f**king stupid you have to be to think that Freddy Todd, Ultrasloth, Ahee and the Trifinity would be a good fit to open for Shpongle. The rest of the crowd was visibly just as upset about it as I was. Everybody held up their thumbs down. Please fire the person who did the booking for those openers. Aside from that, Live nation's Liqour/beer prices are the worst. It's become apparent to me and all other attendees that Ticketmaster and LIve Nation are just two sides of the same greedy company. Disgusting. I'd rather miss a show than see a live nation show ever again. Security sucks too. They're very selective and discriminatory on the severity of who they search or bust. The event in general was poorly ran just like all live nation events. I hate what your company hd don't to the industry and I hope only bad things happen to the core of your businesses. It's a shame I can't leave less than 1 star.

I love this venue! It's so easy to find a good spot, because everywhere is a good spot! Plenty of bars to choose from throughout the place. The chandeliers are iconic. I hadn't been here since pre-covid until tonight and the vibes were just as high.

Not a great experience. The show was great, but the venue owners / staff just don't understand how important it is to communicate with customers. Show time was originally listed as 8pm with doors open as 6:30pm. Headliners were to start at 8pm with newly added intro acts preceding that. The lineup was never firm. The times kept changing. Ultimately on the day of the show, the headliners started around 7:30 with doors open at 5:30. There is no way to plan your evening. None of this was shared on any website, signage or etc, including Fillmore. Their "contact us directly" phone number is almost never answered. They don't return a message when you choose that option. IF you do get thru, the staff doesn't know any of the lineup / timing information. A simple phone tree with a recording for "details about today's performance" would be so easy to add, but nobody understands that.

Lived in Denver 20 Years and never been To a concert at the Fillmore until now....I'm going to try and post a thorough review for ppl like us that haven't been and are trying to get a feel for layout /view etc. We actually ate dinner in Cherry Creek and left our car there and took an UBER straight up Clarkson which was about $12. If you eat someplace that validates parking this is a bonus! We were dropped off right at the door which was so convenient and felt very safe in an area that feels seedy after dark. Our tickets were located in box 6-upper level and the view Was EXCELLENT. Box 1 would be the closest and so on so we We're about middle of the way down the side of the theaters -unobstructed view. Every step of the way the service was EXCELLENT. I mean, over the top assistance from seating to cocktail Service to the gentleman outside when we left who helped us locate where our UBER would pick us up. I'm not sure if this is something special you get with box tickets but for my husband and myself...I'm just not going to stand for hours on end at my age so an assigned seat is a must. We say One Republic and they are just flipping amazing no matter what but in that venue, it just felt really intimate. One thing about the box seats I want to point out is that every box has four seats and a high top table. If you get there first-you get the two chairs closest to the stage. We were first so we took our spots right away. When the couple that shared the box with us came (an hour late) they asked us to scoot over rather than assuming their spots behind us. There isn't enough room width wise to get four chairs across so take all of that into consideration. The people that get their first get the best view. The drinks we had were about $15-$20 each which I think is probably pretty standard. Our server, Jermaine, was on point with drinks all evening.

Went to the one republic concert here! Amazing venue ! Great bar service and wonderful location - so happy to have this in denver

Concert venue review pages are always an interesting read. The Fillmore is no exception! Holy smokes, some people need to take their comments to the proper channels, i.e. Live Nation, Wendy's parking lot, etc. Don't take it out on the venue! Fillmore Auditorium sits right on Colfax and houses way more people than one would expect from the outside. We came here for the James Blake show last week and had a fun time. 1. Lines - They move quickly! Security is pretty standard, empty out your pockets and walk through the scanner. After that, someone will scan your tickets and the process is relatively painless. 2. Space - Like I mentioned, it's massive. The GA floor can hold thousands comfortably. 3. Concessions - We stuck with Coors Banquet all night, and they were priced moderately. Not expensive, but also not cheap. At the end of the day, the venue holds a crap load of people and brings in a wide range of national acts. That's four stars in my book. Keep up with their concert calendar to see who's coming to Denver next!

Only reason why I gave you his a 2 star was because my friend literally was okay to walk and the didn't let her go ANYWHERE unless the car was out front. We were literally trying to to have a good time and the security did not let us have it.

Saw $not & Night Lovell here. Great venue if your up close but mosh pits definitely aren't for everyone.

I hate this auditorium. Yeah, yeah it's historic and that's great. However, the place is small, the AC does seem to work, and getting the reserved seats are expensive af. The drinks are ridiculously priced even if you just want a soda. And the security at the door is hit or miss as far as what you can/can't bring in. And for the love of god, let bands adjust the music or something. Every band I have ever heard here sounds terrible. I don't know if it's the acoustics or what but I've been to several shows and it's always the same things. The women's rooms run out of toilet paper. It's just a pain all around. I'll be back because of the bands I like to see but I won't be happy about it.

Horrible experience I did not know your not allowed to scream for the artist it is a concert security had me removed I was more then willing to leave but female security was over aggressive I was knocked down and got my knee stepped on they popped it out place didn't help me at all and left me out side of venue. I had to go to hospital I will be moving forward with legal action ! I WOULD POST ZERO STARS BUT IT WON'T ALLOW ME!

This concert venue is beautiful! My husband and I loved the VIP seating option! They had plenty of bars so lines weren't that long. The merch line was also very fast and efficient. There's plenty of bathrooms and you didn't have to wait in line long for them. However, I was unhappy that the security for the VIP section gave up halfway through and let people who didn't pay for the VIP seats like we did, sit next to us for free for half the concert. This was completely unfair to us and others who paid for the seats. In my option people who didn't have the VIP pass shouldn't have been allowed up there or even be allowed to use the bar in that section. This place also has zero parking that close to the venue, but it's Denver. The only other downside is that it got really hot even when we weren't down in the crowd. All in all though, I still enjoyed my time here.

The age restrictions on shows here are ridiculous. Not being able to take my 15 year old to a folk band is puzzling. The GA has no tiers so unless you're over 6 foot your not seeing anything. You feel like cattle although a cattle yard has more thought and organization. Three people had to be taken out by medical staff. Not a great concert experience.

Their security threw me out of a show because the person next to me was smoking and they said I was. My wife and 10 year old son were with me. The artist took my son on stage and I missed it because they were wrong. LOVE this venue but their security is fucked

Great venue! The location was a little sketchy, especially at night, but the venue itself is clean and spacious.

Had a blast during pouya till the security didn't do anything when I told them I was getting smashed and couldn't breathe. Blacked out woke up in the hospital later. sad I ain't get the real experience (gracie was one year old emt but took the best care of me. Thankful for her calm but progressive attitude. Helped me clam down hella. 7206123332 if she reading this

I attended the Hollywood Vampires concert last night with my girlfriend and some other female friends. It's right in the middle of downtown so parking sort of sucks. Uber or have a friend drop you off. The security line moved fast. They did check bags but even that was efficient. The inside is beautiful and a cross between old school and new. The acoustics were really good and the staff didn't bother or harass us in any way. I enjoyed both the concert and the venue. The bar even gets the drinks out fast. I would enjoy seeing another concert there....

Great venue for live music. Parking is easy and it's always a great time listening to great music and having a night out with friends.

The worst service. The worst staff. Seats are not marked as reserved. We were sitting in reserved seats that were not clearly marked. They should check tickets. I'd gladly move. The ticket holders came right at the headliner. Then we had to scramble to find a spot. This place sucks ... Two thumbs down avoid this place

I went to Airborne Toxic Event here years ago, and came here again for Awolnation on 3/6/18. The Fillmore hadn't changed at all! Same casual elegance, pictures of past bands/concerts on the east wall, and option to watch the concert on the floor or up in the balcony. It's a surprisingly large venue. It was definitely packed for Awolnation, but we weren't elbow-to-elbow and it also wasn't as hot as some other venues I've been to. I can't comment on parking in the area as I opted for pregaming then a Lyft. I wholeheartedly recommend both of these. Well drinks start at $9 and just from what I saw as we drove through the neighborhood to get to the Fillmore, parking did not seem abundant.

I went to see The Revivalists on Dec 1st 2017. The venue is awesome, lots of history. Before I went I did some research on The Fillmore but found there wasn't a lot of information out there so I hope the review helps. Food and Drinks: Fries, pretzel bites and hotdogs. Pepsi products, some mixed drinks (don't get to fancy) and beer. (Credit cards are accepted) Seating: Well it's standing room only unless you have purchased a seat on the side or a VIP table. You should understand that you will be standing no less than 4 yours if your concert has an opening act. For our concert people were standing 6 + hours, from opening the doors until the concert started. I will try to add pictures of the VIP table and the general seats on the side of the standing area. VIP: VIP Tables seat 4, if you buy two seats there will be two other people at your table, the other couple that was at our table were cool and it was an enjoyable night. The VIP section is in the balcony and has a great view. Doors open at 8pm and the lines move fast. Parking: There is none. However, many businesses close down and open their parking lots for $15-$20 cash only. Understand there are several venues in this small area and they usually have concerts/events going at the same time, with that said, we parked at Wendy's @7:45pm, there was still a lot of space open. We also had a VIP table so waiting in line wasn't important as there is a separate line for VIP and most show up late for the main band. I think that's all I have but check out the pictures to get a better idea of seating and the venue.

Another great indoor venue ruined by Live Nation. Took my son to his first concert there when he was 4. It was a 16 (or 18) and older show. My buddy and I walked in with 3 preteen kids. No problem. Today...10 years later.... the same band comes to the same venue...and we watched NUMEROUS paying kids get turned away. A friend bought him and his son "meet and greet passes"...they let a younger kid in to meet the band...then kicked him out because he wasn't old enough...yet he was old enough to meet them? 2nd venue Live Nation has ruined... basically staying that future generations will have to wait for those bands to play outdoors..where there are NEVER age restrictions. I also feel like they are telling us how to raise our kids. Done with Live Nation and their venues. Thx for ripping off the kids... And disappointing the ones that were excited to see their favorite artist play.

It was a different and cool venue. It had an old school feel with a retro sign and framed black and white photos of the bands that came through the Fillmore over the decades. At the same time the sheer size reminded me of large venues I've been to in Los Angeles. It was surprising to me and I really liked the purple chandeliers. In front of the stage was a huge flat floor and it was tighter down there than the tent I was recently in at a major music festival. Up by the bars there was a lot more room to dance and the view was pretty clear, although farther. We saw Lane 8 and Rufus Du Sol. A woman behind me was commenting how she loves Lane 8 but he had already started while we waited in line. We were in that line at least half an hour so if you really want to see someone, leave plenty of time for that.

CONCERT PARKING SCAM at WENDY'S - There's a person who you can pay for parking in the Wendy's parking lot for the Fillmore - they will tow your car, it's a scam - it apparently happened to other people, too: "The man helping the tow truck driver was the same man who was taking people's money at the beginning of the night." https://www.coloradomusic.org/buyer-beware-use-caution-parking-wendys-next-door-fillmore-denver/ Venue is great :)

Gone to multiple concerts here, great venue overall. Staff is nice and lines go fast enough. I saw people complaining about sound issues, I've never heard anything weird or wrong sounding and voices sounded normal to me.

Fillmore is surprisingly large inside. You can't tell from walking by the front door. Overall, I thought that this was a really good venue. They can take a ton of people. There's food inside. Drinks are reasonably priced for what you'd expect at a concert venue. Security is pretty proud of their positions though. I totally understand that repeatedly dealing with drunk people and those who don't listen could really set a bad mood. They get a little excited, so this is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Pretty good place. I'd definitely go to watch a show again.

Great venue! Most GA seating so you can get as close as you want. Beer lines move fast. Parking is a little tricky. Solid choice of restaurants and bars for pre-gaming and post-gaming within 2 blocks. Pro tip, I've been a few times, the beer line on the dance floor stage left once you come down the steps ALWAYS has the shortest line

We had no tickets to see Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko, and it was probably the best concert experience I could have asked for. The VIP entrance allowed us to show up ten minutes before the doors opened and be one of the first people to enter the venue. We had a private bathroom that meant no huge wait between performance, and the cocktail service was nice. My only real complaint was the pricing model for drinks. My husband ordered a Pepsi while I got a diet. Both were priced at $5 each. My husband received a 20 oz bottle while I got a 12 oz can poured into a cup with an insane amount of ice. I know that's how these places make as much money as possible, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Parking is also extremely limited and only on the street, which isn't great.

Just saw Alice In Chains here (9-13-18)with my son! Such an amazing venue. It's hard to not have a good time here with the ability to set yourself right up close to the action or to lounge balcony style just above. I had such a good time and can't wait to be back. The guest services is top notch getting people in and out quickly. The biggest complaints I hear are the costs of alcoholic beverages. I saw so many people buy one tall boy each and stop drinking. A good thing if you're out to have fun you should not have to ruin the experience for yourself and everyone around you by getting smashed! Alice In Chains blew the roof off and then some will gladly come back to the Fillmore!

Went and saw Lizzo on 10/16/2019. The whole experience was AMAZING. Loved the venue, the security was friendly and responsive and the show itself was top-notch. It was easy to get beverages (no lines) and the event was well-run overall. I would highly recommend going to a show at Fillmore!!!
