Date night done right -- if you know where to look…read more Dazzle has been on my radar for a while, and finally going with my husband for a show did not disappoint. Tucked inside the Denver Performing Arts Complex at 1080 14th Street, the space has a jazzy, intimate feel that somehow still delivers impressive surround sound for live music. For a room that seats around 140, the acoustics are genuinely good -- the kind that make you lean in and actually listen. The performance itself was well DAZZLING, FANTASTIC, MEMORABLE, POWERUL, and the layout of the space contributes to that. Dazzle is a serious listening room, and they ask that you keep conversation minimal during the music -- which I appreciated. It sets a tone. This isn't background noise; it's the main event. A note on the food and drink: there's a two-item minimum per person, which I understand and respect. Tickets support the artists; the minimum supports the venue. That said, we ordered the charcuterie board and I'll be honest -- for what was on the board, the price felt a little steep. Wouldn't order it again. What did win me over, unexpectedly, was the hot tea selection. I don't drink much, and having a beautiful, thoughtfully curated tea menu was a small but memorable touch. I'm already thinking about what I'll try at our next show. Dazzle is a great pick for date nights, jazz lovers, or anyone who wants a real night out in Denver -- not just dinner and a movie. With 60 to 70 shows a month across jazz, blues, R&B, and more , there's always a reason to go back.

Brunch is BACK at Dazzle and our family could not be happier…read more There's just something magical about building your own huevos rancheros while sipping a bottomless Aperol Spritz. The cheesy grits? Comfort food perfection. Waffles made to order? Yes, please. It's the kind of menu that makes everyone at the table feel like they won brunch. And then... the music. Alex Trujillo's Bossa Duo set the vibe just right -- smooth, breezy, sophisticated without being stuffy. It felt like we'd stumbled into a little pocket of Rio in Denver. Super chill, easy conversation, toe-tapping in your seat energy. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming...the kind where you never have to flag anyone down but also don't feel rushed. If you're looking for a brunch that feels elevated but still relaxed (and delicious across the board), Dazzle absolutely delivers. We'll be back!

Oh my, now this is an EVENT to write home about. It begins early, around 11:00 a.m., and ends near…read more9:00 p.m., followed by jazz jams, with notable national performers at local establishments. There's a tent to protect from the heat and pretty good food from various establishments. This year we heard Salsa (Conjunto Colores), wonderful vocal (Dee Alexander), straight ahead (Ron Miles), and a funky group (Liquid Soul). This exemplifies a perfect day of every genre. Well organized, peaceful and a great crowd . . . Near perfection for the jazz lover. One tiny criticism, which may not be fixable, is that a standing audience crowds the stage which isn't appreciated by those who occupy chairs behind them.

If you like magic or are looking for something unique to do in town his shows are absolutely amazing! He has 3 different sets of shows with different tricks and even a kids show during the day! He is super interactive with the crowd and picks participants throughout the crowd not just the front, which was nice. They have some snacks and soda/coffee/water before and during the show intermissions which was really nice but don't serve food or alcohol. Voodoo brewery is right across the street if you want to grab a bite and drink beforehand. Highly recommended checking this place out! Cant wait to go back and see the rest of his shows!
