Jewel of the neighborhood |
3317 East Colfax Avenue Denver, CO 80206 United States +1 303 322 2308 |
Opened in 1913 as a small movie house, this theater survived various incarnations, including a long stint as a porn house, before closing in the 1970s. In 1994 it was refurbished and restored but still retains its image as a gritty survivor in a rough neighborhood. The three-tiered theater now serves as a multi-purpose venue hosting a diverse group of national acts, emerging recording artists, and the hottest local bands. On occasions the Bluebird still doubles as a movie hall, showing cult classics and carrying the annual Sick and Twisted Animation Festival. The bar has an excellent selection of microbrews, along with the usual domestics. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic art house |
110 Broadway Boulevard Denver, CO 80203 United States +1 303 352 1992 |
For years the Mayan Theater, operating with only one screen, was a popular destination to catch art and foreign flicks. But Landmark Theaters purchased the art house in 1986 and spent over USD2 million renovating the exterior facade and converting the interior into three separate theaters. Today, the theater shows the hottest and most daring independent and foreign films flooding the market. Noted for its Art Deco Mayan Revival style, the Mayan is one of only three theaters across the nation exhibiting this design. Free parking is available in the lot at 120 Lincoln Street.
