I am giving Dazzle four stars even though I was an idiot, sat in the wrong room, and overpaid by $26 for my Dazzle experience. We sat in the room with the music and paid a $26 cover to be asked to sit quietly and listen to Jazz. So while that might be awesome for some people, that is steep and we are not Jazz connoisseurs and we are chatty. Well, live and learn, and I am not going to remove stars from my review because I am an idiot. So anyway I went to Dazzle last night with three friends and outside of the cover and getting shushed (well to be honest that was kind of exhilarating, I am not used to getting in trouble, I felt scandalous!) I had a great experience. I would definitely go back but I would highly recommend sitting at the bar or in the non-Jazz room, whatever that's called. I had the mahi-mahi and it was delicious. I wanted to lick my plate the sauce was so incredible. We also shared an order of crab-stuffed mushrooms, which were delicious, and the mac and cheese, which was BUENO. Oh boy. I could have eaten the entire bowl but I am trying to be less of a glutton. If only it had been baked so it had a crusty top it would have been perfect, but it had the best-cooked pasta, and the best combination of cheeses, of any mac and cheese I've had in Denver. I would definitely recommend Dazzle and I am excited to come back for happy hour, brunch, or a casual dinner at the bar. read more

Best brunch in Denver (or at least of the ones I've tried so far). Bottomless mimosas and bloody marys, fluffy made-to-order omelets, tasty sausages, a carving station, more desserts than you can shake a stick at, great jazz music, and they'll even deep-fry a Twinkie for you if you ask nicely, I'm told. I have not seen a frown on any staffer's face. Come back during happy hour for great cocktail specials. They make their own infused spirits -- I highly recommend the apple cinnamon whiskey. YUM. The "regular" cocktail list is as extensive as it is creative -- I have no idea where they get some of those ingredients (hibiscus liqueur? Lavender-spiced bitters??), but there sure is something magical going on behind that bar. And that's not even saying anything about the music, which ... wow. You'll have to experience it for yourself. This place is a gem. read more

I had the absolute best time for my birthday! Their brunch buffet on Sunday is the best brunch buffet I've ever had. The music was so much fun and our whole group had a blast! We will be back soon read more

A NYC style jazz club right here in Denver The reason to go it the music Acts that come in from around the country I play guitar but I feel like I can't play one I watch some of the amazing guitarist they bring in The food and service are excellent as well but it is of course the music read more

We love this place! I went with a group of friends about 2-3 years ago for a brunch on a Sunday and have been in love with it ever since. I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! We've come back here for Sunday brunch and met with friends here for brunch. In addition, I've come here a few times for the Happy Hour. I've never had a bad experience. From the brunch perspective, $8 Bottomless Bloody Marys and Mimosas (or in my case, cranberry juice and champagne) are a treat! The brunch buffet contains an amazing array of hot foods, an omelet station, cold foods in the front, such as pasta salad, roasted veggies, cereal, fruits, smoked salmon, as well as a dizzying dessert section, usually with a person offering made-to-order crepes. I've always had fantastic service. Happy Hour offers a great selection of drinks and food. You receive large amounts of food for $5, which is quite nice. I've enjoyed martinis and Moscow Mules, a swell as other cocktails. I think Dazzle is the bee's knees! Parking in this area sucks, but be sure to check out the Dazzle website for parking after hours and on the weekends in the DPS parking lot on Grant, I think. read more

I was making a brunch list the the other day and realized I didn't have a review for Dazzle. How could that be?! Dazzle is one of my favorite brunch spots in town. Two rooms full of food, fantastic food. For $18/person, you can indulge in pies, pastries, roasts, mac n cheese, seafood dishes, potatoes, veggies, eggs..the list goes on and on. There is an omelet station and a crepe station. I've had poached pear and lemon creme crepes and they are good. And for $8, all you can drink. Bottomless mimosas and a bloody mary bar to boot! There is live music going on as well in the dining room. It's not too loud or intrusive either, considering how close you are to the stage. I like to take people here from out of town. Dazzle always impresses, that's for sure! Read my dad's review if you don't believe me! Go hungry and thirsty. And it's a good idea to make reservations because it can get crowded. If you are late for your reservation, don't expect to be seated, you go right to the bottom of the list. read more

Came here very late night with a fellow Yelper looking for some more wine and a nice atmosphere. It took longer than normal to get the bartenders attention, especially when we were virtually the only ones there. Once we got his attention he was very good. They have a nice later night HH drink list. I was so pleasantly surprised at mush I really enjoyed the live jazz music. A great place for romance or a first date. I can't wait to come back and try some of their menu and hopefully enjoy some more quality jazz - my new found love. read more

Chris was an amazing server! Treated us so kindly and was very knowledgeable on beers. The food was delicious!! We had a Baurs Burger and the Melted cheese as an appetizer.. yum yum yum read more

I have not eaten here, we came out for a local free jazz feature. The booths and atmosphere transport me to a bigger cities jazz scenes feel. Intimate, with strong cocktails, great sound, and staff. A place you can melt into a booth and have a moment. They use LP records to hold the menus. If my British Uncle comes, I have to bring him here. A great place to have a classy time out, and maybe impress a date, or friends, with some culture. read more

The only reason they are getting a three star is because eif the spicy pickle band that played last night. They were the livest part of this place. The food was over priced for the portions. The margherita pizza consist of just basil apparently... No mozz no tomato. Their features salad was the size of a side salad. I recommend you eat elsewhere then come here for the jazz but at the price you pay or cover you would hope that there would be some soul in the place. You'll be more entertained watching the dancers. Idk don't take this review lightly coming from the Northeast this place lacks energy. Saxophone player literally was the only one who killed it and moved the audience. He saved this place a star. read more

Dazzle - Jazz & Blues Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Wanting a new brunch spot to have a good meal with my sissy, I had dazzle in the back of my mind and took a chance they would have a table for us. Well, they did, but reservations are recommend. We were seated at a tiny table behind the hot line and that was okay. Brunch was very good. The hot line had everything from eggs to chicken legs and falafel. The cold line was loaded with waffles, danish, cereal, yogurt, etc. however, I would recommend moving the fresh fruit away from the burners because they tasted like crap, rather burner residue, yuck. It was rather displeasing. Service was great and although the price was a bit high, I'd go back. read more

Ok, so there are two ways this review could go - one is a review of the Dazzle the restaurant, one of Dazzle the lounge. If you want to go have a drink and listen to live music, this spot is just fine and would get 3.5 stars. HOWEVER, should you be tempted to try the food/visit Dazzle as a restaurant, know that you will be sorely disappointed. When we were there, we tried 5 different menu items, and they were all very lackluster. It's especially sad when an item comes with a side of fries, and the fries are limp. It means that the kitchen can't even fry a potato, meaning there is no hope for anything else to turn out good. Aaaand nothing else did turn out good. I would give the food 1 star. This place really should just call themselves a lounge instead of a restaurant, and they'd have it about right. Also, the couple of times I went, it was rather chilly, so be prepared. read more

Give 'em the old Dazzle Jazzle. Dazzle Jazzle 'em. That's right, I'm quoting from the classic Broadway Play, Victor Victoria, because this place is nothing but victorious, fam. This lounge is the hottest place in the 720 and possibly the 313. The food in this place will make your taste buds play hop scotch and the insane jazz flute solos will literally melt your face (see my profile pic, it happened in this place). Sometimes you gotta down yourself a Morning Monster and get yourself through the day, but when it's all over and you wanna relax to some silky smooth jazz, DazzleJazz (the DazzleJazzlest) is the place that you wanna be at. If you don't go here or give it a bad review, you should see me personally and make sure you come correct. Go to DazzleJazz or lose your health insurance. Bound to happen. That's wide-eyed emoji, thumbs up to the food and jazz flutes one hundred. read more

The aesthetic is wonderful and the live music provided a wonderful atmosphere. Service was constantly resourceful and polite however I found the food to be mediocre. I found myself being disapointed by the buffet and my mother and sister agreed. Generic cereal pancakes and eggs were the main options and most of the options for sauce were just empty bottles. The hot chocolate was very average and I found that the quality of the food was painfully average, and frankly, overpriced. The amazing aesthetic created the deception this was a fancy restaurant but ultimately it was average food presented and priced as upscale quality brunch. Ultimately I enjoyed my visit but I wouldn't go again. read more

Their drinks are definitely the draw, and I would gladly go back for happy hour. As I recall the apps for HH were pretty tasty. This is what's getting them the A-OK. Their brunch however...not so much. There definitely is a variety, but the quality certainly wasn't worth the $17.99 p/p we paid. Just because there is a lot to choose from doesn't mean that it's good food. Chewy roasted potatoes, bacon drowned in grease, and spots of mold on the raspberries~ ick. Personally, I would prefer one solid breakfast choice that wows me to 100 different things that I could have gotten at a hotel continental breakfast. read more

I LOVE this place. It has the best happy hour in Denver, if you ask me. Beer, wine and cocktail specials (I always get the martinis, particularly the $4 Hunk- pineapple yumminess with a smooth and sweet (but not too sweet) vanilla finish). Plus they have an extensive menu of happy hour food specials that will please just about any appetite. From single sliders to the mac & cheese (which is a MUST HAVE for sure) to the small plates, anyone can find an item or two that they will love. In fact, I don't think I've ever had a dish there that was disappointing. And Dazzle's not just for happy hour, but they also have the best brunch in town. For $19, you get access to two different all-you-can-eat buffet lines. And this isn't normal buffet foods, this is DELICIOUS, awesome food! For $8 extra, you can get unlimited mimosas or bloody mary's. And not one or the other, but you can switch off as you please. And did I mention that while all this deliciousness is swirling around, there is a glorious back drop of live jazz. Amazing food, unlimited drinks and great jazz. Dazzle is the trifecta of brunch. Get your buns over there to experience the magic in person. :) read more

Obviously the music is great (that's whats earning the stars), but I wish the food matched! Came here for dinner on a Thursday night and ordered the mac & cheese (which sounds amazing on the menu) with added chicken and a side of brussel sprouts. The mac & cheese tasted like something I could've easily made at home out of a box and the added chicken was not appetizing... it was small chunks and I was expecting fresh shredded chicken or sliced chicken breast. The brussel sprouts were bland and under cooked. Only perk is their good drink specials and patio. read more

God rested on Sunday because that's when DazzleJazz is open for brunch. Seriously, it's the best brunch in Denver. $30 gets you all you can eat AND drink (craft beer included). Show up early. They also have good food and live music other nights of the week, but the brunch is where it's at. read more

So it turns out that Dazzle may be the most entertaining place on Broadway... Who knew, right? I mean, where else can you get completely mouth-watering short ribs, watch an authentic southern jazz band with a wash-board completely destroy an audience, and enjoy the dance stylings of Mr. crazy basketball-jersey-wearing-slick-moves? No where. That's right, no where. But to be serious, I've been to Dazzle more than once for drinks and it's always a great experience. They make a variety of great cocktails, including fruit-infused liquors. But this evening was my first Dazzle dining experience. I must say, they have a great kitchen! We had a 4 course meal with shades of creole-seafood and it was extremely flavorful. The catfish was blackened and moist, the short ribs were fall-apart delicious, and the appetizers were perfectly sized and bursting with taste. If you are looking for an entertaining night with amazing food and some music (with dance-ability possibilities), then Dazzle is easily your best bet. Get goin! read more

Dazzle is the kind of place that you've driven inummerous times by it and never had the desire going in; at least I've driven several times and never had any idea what it was, a bar, a lounge, a restaurant, who knew... It's interior is very nice and comforting. They have live jazz, and their happy hour prices are great. Beers are around $2, mixed drinks $4, and small plates great for sharing about $5 each. read more

Dazzle is at the top of the live jazz club scene for me right now. They have some sort of music performance every night, and often have two or three different acts. The 7pm and 9pm shows usually highlight the top performers of the evening in the showroom. Dazzle usually charges $12-$15 per person for those shows, but you can sit in the bar area for free and enjoy a 10:30pm show in the bar area. I always pay the money to see the shows in the showroom because there is nothing like a live performance. I've had appetizers several times and love the goat-cheese dip. I had the fish sandwich one night and it was good. The food is generally much better than I would expect in a club that is focused on music. If you go with friends, be aware that the showroom is for "listening", according to the MC at the start of the show. I personally think this is annoying - jazz clubs should have a low hum of activity in the background. You'll have all the smarmy NPR types sharing at you if you talk too much. Hang out in the bar if you want to talk. Alternatively, showroom doors open at 6pm for dinner, so you can get there early for drinks, dinner, and conversation before the show starts. read more

Jazz club, huh? No jazz when I was there... rather, Stevie Wonder. Also, the fruit punch is not quite fruit punch... rather, red pineapple juice. BUT, they do have awesome sliders (we tried the pot roast, salmon, and chorizo), great shrimp cocktail sauce and giant wild-caught shrimp to go with it. My crab stuffed mushrooms were okay. Too oil-soaked for me, but definitely good bar food (the point of bar food is to drown your alcohol in oil... right? I guess I wouldn't know). The margarita-shakin' servers are very in-your-face friendly, which goes well with the cozy booths. Best moment of the night was when a guy having what looked like a first date at the next table was having his cocktail shaken by his waitress (they shake the cocktails while doing elaborate dances). The poor guy looked extremely uncomfortable - I think he wasn't sure whether it would be okay with his date to raise his eyes past the level of his plate. read more

Me and my friend happened upon this gem when Sam's next door was packed. It happened to be open and neither of us had been there so we gave it a shot. And we are so glad we did! The ambience is awesome; there was an amazing woman singing and playing the piano and it was super chill and relaxing. The food (everything was on point!) and the service were both excellent. I will for sure be going back. I want to check out the happy hour and breakfast/brunch on a weekend too. read more

For HH only. Oh, DazzleJazz. I haven't been to see you in a very long time, for which I am sorry. You seem to have a nice new interior. I like the new(?) booths that seem to give a bit of privacy. I also enjoyed the service, with the waitstaff giving a little shake show with my martinis. I especially enjoyed your mac n cheese and zucchini bites with truffle aioli sauce. The loaded fries weren't bad, but maybe it was carb overload at that point. I enjoyed my arnold palmer with Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka and my watermelon martini. all in all, you have a fantastic HH going on. I don't know why it wasn't busier. Nice menu with plenty of options, and lotsa drinks to enjoy. And enjoy it, I did. Thank you to fellow yelper and friend Wanda C for brining me here to celebrate my most recent accomplishment on Friday!! read more

This is my favorite place in Denver, period. One of the best vibes around, an interesting menu with very good food - and great happy hour prices, great martinis, one of the best burgers in the city, a intimate live-music venue with 2 different performance areas, friendly service (with occasional glitches or off nights), and I think one of the top 2-3 brunches in the city as well - you have to have their brunch. Every time I take someone new here they rave about it and I feel... well, cool. :) read more

YUM!! We went for happy hour. The list of food stuffs for $5 is extensive! We had a hard time narrowing it down but decided on: Salmon sliders, mac & cheese, calamari, and a Southwestern grilled cheese (pepperjack, green chile strips, and a fried egg) Everything was SO, SO good, favorite would have to be the mac and cheese. It was sooo cheesy, creamy, and smoky. I first ordered a dirty vodka martini ($4)(which is great fro a martini!) but it was no bueno at all. I order it dirty because it cuts down the bite of vodka but this drink just tasted like pinesol, I don't know if it was gin or too much vermouth or just really low qual well vodka but I had to choke it down. They have $2 old chubs, yay!! The atmosphere is very cozy, we stayed for over 2 hours and almost never do that, so there. Our server was really friendly & the live music was a lovely touch. Will return fo sho. read more

Brandon S: see his review below about the PENDING DEBIT CHARGE. How is your financial situation in any way related to this? Your review should be about the music, and the food, and the place, and the atmosphere, and NOT about your difficulties to manage your finances efficiently. So my fellow lovers of live music: don't pay any attention to this. Go there to enjoy the best venue for live music in Denver, and you will have a great time. read more

Three star food and five star jazz makes Dazzle dazzle. Loves me that soulful Lynne Skinner. She got the sweetest high registers in the world. read more

Horrible was my very expensive experience, when I was in this restaurant on Sunday for the buffet that costs $30.00 per person. The food that was suppose to be hot was all cold, the roast beef was very fatty. The best item I had was the omelet. I have been here four times, and the last two times have been very experiences, and I will never return. A party of 4 that was seated next to me was expressing my sentiments exactly among themselves. read more

We rolled in here after a night of tooling around Denver. It was time for a snack and nice sounds. Dazzle delivered on all counts. We opted not to sit in the performance area, but instead got a table by the speakers (and the kitchen). It turns out that we were right up front for the blues band that set up later. The ambiance is what you might hope for in a jazz club, without the smoke, maybe. I love the jazz album/drink menus. Very nice touch. The food was mixed: chorizo burgers were nice, the caesar salad was not nice, and the grilled asparagus was excellent. read more

I've been back to Dazzle for brunch a couple times, and absolutely love it! Their mac & cheese is still the best...even served buffet-style! The bottomless mimosas are delicious....and you can make it with cran or OJ. I love the variety of the buffet. My only issue is the price: $18. That's a little pricey for brunch...even if it is all-you-can-eat. But I always have a great time, with excellent service, food, and entertainment! read more

Though I've heard the weekend brunch is hopping, I must admit that I've never been. Here's the truth: the extent of my Dazzle experience is Tuesday nights. Entry is free, and it's mostly just a jam session. I've seen the variety of performances: maybe just one person owning the stage or a large group that's been playing together for years. I can't speak to other nights when it costs to get in, because in all honesty, I'm not enough of a jazz fan. Grab a cocktail (if you're a martini fan, this is the place), maybe some food, but mostly just plan on sitting back and enjoying some musicians having a great time. read more

holy jesus is risen in the form of brunch. i hadn't been so happy with the smorgasbord in front of me since i went to high tea in Cape Town. Fruits and breads and salads and crepes and bacon bacon bacon and potato concoctions and mussels. Mother Bitch! the mussels. i even got there late and the shit was still fresh. Hallelujah the bloodys and the mimosas. Fuck the crowd, they sucked but shit, the food was good. i still touch myself thinking about it. i would give them more stars if i could. good music too! and i dunno what its like other than brunch so youre on your own with that. Butt-god the mussels!!! read more

1 of the best happy hours in town. Shake your groove thang over a lemon drop...Or get there on Sunday for one of the best brunches in town. I'm a Dazzle fanatic. I like the overall vibe of this place . The food is top-notch. Nothing too fancy. whether I'm there after work or on Sunday for bottomless mimosas and amazing food. Some of my favorites during brunch are, of course, the make-your-own-Bloody Mary and those cheese grits. They always have a different selection of yummy food, fresh fruits, sweets & pastries. Be aware that this place gets packed - so if you're looking for a quiet, intimate place to snoodle witih your lover - this is not it. This is people, in their Sunday best, enjoying an afternoon out. Prices are a bit steep, too. Plan to drop $18.99 for brunch and $9 for bottomless Mary's or mimosas. You can get one cocktail during brunch just for $5 which is a pretty good deal. read more

What better way to celebrate a weekend off than lunch with girlfriends?? We each had a champagne cocktail. I had the French Kiss which is champagne, chambord and a sugar cube. I loved it. I like sweet drinks and this was right up my ally. We ordered a few small plates from the $5 menu. The French Grilled Cheese and my Spinach Salad were the stand out items for me. My spinach salad was tossed with candied walnuts, apricots and soft cheese. The dressing was a sweet peachy vinaigrette. The grilled cheese was a sweet and creamy blend of brie and lingonberries. The live music was great and a nice backdrop for conversation. I will try to come back for Happy Hour or lunch with my husband. read more

This place is so cool. I've been going since it opened in '98. I used to go a lot more often, and back then a friend of mine had his own glass that the bartenders stowed behind all the booze. It was a place for regulars, and I happened to know people who lived down the street but lived here almost as much. Today it's more well known because of the phenomenal live jazz music that they feature most nights. I've spent friends' birthdays here in their lounge, happy hours noshing on $5 killer appetizers and $4 champagne cocktails, and many a Thursday night when the "Future Jazz Project" used to play regularly. Tonight I decided to review it because I was invited to a five-course dinner in the back (where the restaurant is) and I couldn't hold back the review any longer. I admit in ten years I have never sat in the back and had dinner; maybe it's because though the small plates in the lounge are so good and filling without sitting down to a full meal, but WHOA was this dinner ever good. There's a stage in the restaurant and we were treated to a jammin' Zydeco band from New Orleans who just oozed coolness and talent. The crazy homeless man that graced the dance floor and yelled "oh lordy" at the end of every song didn't even ruin the ambiance, he just added to it. I don't even have time to go through all the courses, but some highlights include: crawfish cream cheese on puffed pastry, watermelon bbq short ribs with grits and braised greens, the yummiest catfish I've ever had, and assorted cookies drizzled with some sort of fruit jam-sauce for dessert. Each course was served with a drink and the sponsor tonight was Dixieland Beer. Each beer was smooth and delish and tasted completely different from the others. The dessert was served with Absinthe, which tasted like a mouthful of Good n' Plenty licorice candy. I wasn't a fan of the Absinthe but everything else was incredible. I ate every bite of everything and finally was able to roll myself home. Maybe the reason this place is so cool is that it looks like a strip club from the outside with its tiny windows and hot pink neon sign, and thus it deters most people who are not in the know from going in. This is fine by me because that just means I'll get sat faster. read more

It just gets better and better! I have been twice in the last couple months - once for a dinner/ jazz show - Mr Otis Tayler - I heart you! and Brunch! The food, the drink, the service, the jazz . Bravo! Dazzle - You do it and do it well! read more

This might be my favorite happy hour in Denver, besides Panzano. They have the most lovely cocktails for 6 bucks, and they do it right, handmade, traditional and yumm. Their newest cocktail is the bees knees, honey, lime & gin? Yes please! They have enough savory and sweet cocktails to keep this girl happy. The food is great, different, but yummy. I had the fried zucchini for the first time the other day, it was amazing. All crispy and vegetable is still alive and crispy under the crumbs. The mac and cheese is yum, as well as the polenta. The polenta is actually amazing, golden brown on the outside and warm and homey on the inside. I have to say the best thing is the avocado chip thing, these huge pieces of avocado over fresh tortilla chips and a whole chile thrown into the mix. Wow. Sooo goood. Thank you dazzle for being there and for adding the bees knees and having such great cocktail waitresses with the table side cocktail shake, that sometimes comes with a dance... I just love dazzle. read more

Let me preface what Im about to say with the fact that I had my wedding reception at Dazzle, so obviously I have fond memories of the place. Im here to tell you about the brunch. The alluring brunch that is waiting your arrival spread out on glistening platters like the tea party from Alice in Wonderland. Mac n Cheese for breakfast? Count me in. Unlimited drinks? Count me in. What they DONT tell you is that you will wait for several hundred years to get a table, and then realize that unless you havent seen food in the last month, there is no way you will ever be able to get your $26.00 - yes, thats right. $26.00 - worth because there is so much goddamned food to try. I personally drink the $26.00 in bloody marys and champagne, so thats one good point. But my problem is that with such an abundance of wonderful sounding things to eat - carrot cake, chocolate cake, all the temptings of a hangover gone mad - everyting is just sub par. Its dissapointing. read more

If you haven't heard about the brunch here, then you haven't heard about the happy hour either! BOTH a kick in the pants and great time to share with friends when it comes to food, drinks, and great music! I had been to brunch here before - be sure to wear pants with an elastic waist and one who can ignore calorie count for a day - and loved it as the food is plentiful, delicious, and all you can eat (I lost count on my "return" visits). It also has "bottomless" bloody's and mimosa's that YOU get to make - Talk about a "free pour". YOWZA! The happy hour here is also pretty incredible.. With a HUGE $5 menu (well $5.35 with tax, but the .35 is worth it!) to choose from and cheap drinks to go with it, I was pretty amazed at what they offered! Mac-N-Cheese, Stuffed Anaheims, Fried Zucchini and all kinds of sliders... (again, a time at which you must ignore calories). The music is pumped from the dining side so you can still have the happy hour feel while enjoying who's playing. I definitely look forward to heading to Dazzle more often to enjoy the music, the insanely yummy food and cocktails.. of course! read more
