Francisco Rehearsal Studios - Recording & Rehearsal Studios Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place was awesome to practice at, unfortunately it's being sold to the next new owners and the area doesn't look to promising but otherwise a great place to be if you need jam sessions done! read more

We've experienced nothing but good here. We were always treated professionally & had zero issues. Parking is not a problem, the space is clean and VERY secure. I haven't found any better monthly rental spaces in Denver. read more

bands beware-the guy who runs this place cannot be trusted. i had heard stories about him seizing bands stuff, but i had assumed it was exaggerated. then he emailed my friends band-that had never been late on rent, ever-on a Monday morning saying that because they hung framed posters on their walls they had "vandalized" their space and if they didn't clear out by noon their stuff would be his. unprofessional, unacceptable, and probably illegal. practice elsewhere. read more

There are better, more affordable and more respectful establishments to rent from. If you feel like being treated like a 5 yr. old and paying way too much for the limited accommodations, shoddy electrical and ventilation work, and an awful nearly impossible load-in/load-out situation... Then this is for you. An example you say? No problem. First. Our band has been renting space from the studio SINCE 2005. We have seen management come and go and have never had any problems. Rent is always on time, and if we are too busy to drop it off then we gladly pay late fees, no complaining. Members of my band and others bands complain about the rude and disrespectful attitude of the building manager. As a band, certain concessions need to be made. Like parking strangely for a few minutes to load gear in and out. Well members of my bands have been chastised for a momentary irregular parking job. Didn't realize the manager was also a city parking employee. There are multiple exits and entrances, and when leaving a center area door, the door slammed on accident, and the building manager storms out to yell at grown men like they were children. For the amount of money we pay each month, this type of attitude is unprofessional and uncalled for. Recently we were getting ready for a gig, and realized that we didn't have room for a spare car battery that was in the vehicle. With the permission of the building manager we left the battery near one of garage doors so we could pick it up later and dispose of it properly. At our show, during our set, my brother (guitarist) severely dislocated his knee and fell of the stage ( a 6 foot fall). The venue called the EMS and an ambulance arrived to get my brother to the ER. I accompanied him. We were at the ER and the situation was very serious, long story short we didn't leave until after midnight. It was very stressful and the remaining band mates loaded and returned the gear to the practice space. Well it was a long night... The phone started ringing in the morning and it was the building manager. First thing out of his mouth was "did you forget something?". Well after all that happened and not even returning to space myself, I replied that I did not forget and would get the battery as soon as I could. He then proceeded to remind me that " a battery is hazardous material... And are we going to start to have problems respecting the rules of the building?". No sympathy, no understanding, just plain rude and unprofessional in the face of a band emergency. He also said he hears excuses all the time, as if to not believe my story. Well we are all professionals in this band, with masters and multiple bachelor degrees, who own our own businesses and retain the highest managerial positions in our companies. I have never had anyone be so abrasive and condescending towards me in the face of an emergency. We will not be practicing there any longer. I recommend you steer clear of this place and find another one. I just found a great space smack in the middle of downtown that is larger and nearly half the price. Go somewhere else and thank me later. read more

This place is wonderful. The space is great and beautifully maintained, and Kreston is one of the nicest people that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend Francisco Studios! read more

Francisco Studio is awesome, I've been here for over 4 years and have never had a problem. The management in this place is great. He is always on top of any issues, keeps the place clean and well maintained. This place is the most affordable place in Denver I could find with 24 hr secured access with video surveillance. You can't get a better deal. read more

Brilliant place - well maintained, great owners who are super supportive of musicians, acoustics are great, and I finally have a place where I can play and improve. Would not trade for anything read more

My band was so excited to rent a rehearsal space here. That did not last very long. Kreston, the guy who manages this place, is rude and extremely disrespectful to his customers. I've never seen such poor customer service. Also, the roof leaks, but don't mention that to the manager or he'll threaten to kick you out. There is no ventilation. Climate control is poor. The building is moldy. The neighborhood is sketchy. Too bad. What a great concept. I'd love to see someone with better business skills open someplace similar to this and run this guy out of town. read more

I agree with Holdens G. and Andon G: a great concept but unfortunately poor execution and management. After bouncing around a couple garages, our band found Rocketspace just north of downtown Denver. They have fully-equipped hourly studios, which makes jamming super easy, but there were several issues we couldn't really abide: although its location between The Meadowlark and Larimer Lounge is great for their exposure and the general musician-friendly atmosphere, there's rarely any decent parking available; the rooms have low ceilings, little soundproofing, and there's a ton of bleed-through from one room into the next; and despite all that, they're usually super booked (good for them, sucks for drop-ins). About two months ago a friend told us about a new spot just south of downtown. We checked it out and are happy to say we've finally found our home: Rocky Mountain Sound Garden. They have five unfurnished monthly lockouts upstairs, two downstairs and a really cozy stage where they host concerts, parties, recitals and hourly rehearsal sessions. The best part? They provide drums, mics, monitors and amps if you want to use them, and their in-house sound guy mics everything for you. It's really clean and looks great, like exactly the kind of studio you'd build in your house! It's awesome to be able to spread out and practice the we we play gigs. They've got two comfy lounges, free wifi, a bar, and they're located on a nice park with a lake, playground and basketball court. We thought their location (in Englewood) would be a drag, but it's only like ten minutes down Santa Fe from downtown Denver, and is right near Hampden/285 and C-470. We can't recommend Rocky Mountain Sound Garden enough. Awesome concept, and almost perfectly executed. Check them out! read more
