Dueling mechanical bulls
Ken M.

This place has the trappings of an authentic honky-tonk. It has the size, wooded areas, dueling mechanical bulls, gift store, wraparound bar, kitchen, banquet room, etc. I love the rich history of musicians who have played here over the decades, shown in framed, autographed photos covering all of the walls. The Grizzly Rose takes pride in providing live country music, five nights per week. During my visit on a Saturday night, I enjoyed listening and dancing to the music of Duey & Unbroken. The 40,000 square feet of this country dance hall is impressive. Surprisingly, only 2,500 square feet is allocated to the dance floor. This is too small for the demand placed on it during a Saturday night. The front half of the dance floor is devoted to country swing dancing, while the back half is reserved for line dancing. This leaves no room for progressive partner dancing, i.e., two-step (as is normal across Texas). Country swing could not have been the prevailing form of partner dancing here since the inception of this honky-tonk in 1989. So, what year did it displace two-step? I enjoyed the line dance lesson at 7 p.m., followed by the country swing dance lesson at 8:15 p.m. Strangely, two-step is how the opening pattern taught for country swing, before it abruptly switches to country swing. Yet, they refer to all of this as country swing. This supports my suspicion that country swing hijacked two-step at some point in the history of this honky-tonk. If this is how locals here are brought up on country dancing, they're in for a surprise, if and when they go to honky-tonks across Texas, where two-step prevails. Given how crowded the dance floor gets, they might consider expanding it by another 1,000 feet or more. Then it might be possible to spare enough room on the perimeter to bring back progressive partner dancing (two-step, three-step, partner cowboy cha-cha, etc.). The main seating and walkways are concrete ground, which can wear on your feet. Therefore, I doubt the average person lasts more than a few hours of dancing before throwing in the towel.

Mirrored bull head, so awesome ‼

Every time I go to the Grizzly Rose it's a great time I've had the food which is basic bar food. It's still delicious. The bar is so big that they have so many bartenders behind the bar so service is definitely great. Never a complaint there bathrooms are fully stocked and cleaned, which is a big plus for me I love that there is so many staff members out there helping each other out on the floor to clear tables and make sure everybody is comfortable.... i've seen a lot of concerts at the Grizzly Rose. I have always had a great great time definitely five stars. Thanks For The Read Until Next Time....

Grizzly Rose is a fun filled, entertaining Country Bar with live music. 4-5 bars spread around. Friendly, fast bar service. Booze is marked up though. Food menu is lacking with only pizza and chicken tenders. Beer galore. There was plenty of security to deal with a customer who had medical emergency (BRAVO--Well done. ...and for keeping any unruly drunks in check. Yeah. My main gripe: Doors at 6pm. Music at 8pm. Well, the music started at 7:30pm and the headliner did not show until 9:15 or 9:30pm. Standing Room only unless you knew to get there at 6:00pm and eat off limited menu and drink more. -- It was a late night at the Grizzly Rose.

amazing vibes here! i came with friends for a country line dancing lesson, and although very crowded, it was a really fun experience. there's a mechanical bull for you crazies out there, as well as food, drinks, and pool.

This place is a good damn time! Went for ladies night for the first time ever recently. The free drinks are good and small but we're easy to get a refill. They didn't have a free beer that night which was a bummer. Female bartenders were bitchy but probably because most girls don't tip on free nights which is a sin, tip on your free drinks ladies! The music was excellent and the dancing was fun! Don't know a line dance? Just stand near the best person on the floor and copy their moves. We paid $5 to ride the bull but it went so slow that you either fall off immediately when it turns to the side at slow motion, like me, or you stay on for a while, like my husband, but it's more of a sexy bull ride which is a little awkward lol. Can't wait to go back for dancing fun!

Ask the Community - The Grizzly Rose

Is there a place for coats? Sorry if this is a strange question. I'm from Florida and not sure where my jacket goes when I go inside lol

There is a coat check inside the GrizzlyRose. Just ask the DJ or a bartender or a floor staff member to point the way:) Coat check open Thursday to Sunday and not available on… 

What time do Friday night concerts typically end?

That depends on the band playing. I would say typically around midnight, but again, depends on the band. Some might stop at 11pm, some might play till 1am. Depends on the band, depends on the crowd. You are always welcome to come or leave whenever… 

How do concerts work? Do you just post up by the stage?

Yes. The venue is one level. General admission. Stand or dance in Front of stage. Seating available throughout, tables with waitresses. However, a band that has a big draw will pack the GR. Go early. Claim your spot.

Is this a cool place for the over-60 dance crowd?

Phil, Prior to the live music taking center stage, I saw the floor full with line dancers of all ages. My observation was that the Type of live music being performed seemed to influence the age of the 'free style' dancers. Go, enjoy. You'll be glad… 

How is it on Sunday night?

Sunday nights are all ages. It can get packed with a lot of high school kids because that's the night most of them can go. I wouldn't recommend going in the summer because that's when Sunday's nights are packed with all ages.

A friend sent me a flyer that a local DJ was having an all vinyl set here with funk, jazz, hip-hop and soul - some of my favorite genres and hard to find, especially in vinyl in Denver, where electronic dance music is a bigger culture I had the best time, the music was great. I even introduced myself to the DJ as someone who moved here recently and began following his Instagram so that I can come to other nights like this. The cocktails were delicious and very unique, I can guarantee you've never seen a sour cream and onion martini on a menu before. I don't have big enough balls for that yet so I opted for a guava sour and was so delighted at what I got. They use a Pea foam instead of egg whites and I could not tell the difference. The guava flavor was so strong and present, perfectly balanced for the drink. I also tried the infante -- or at least a version of it, I asked if there was any way to make it the same as the sour with the foam, and our server told us the bartender would whip me up a unique concoction that was similar to that. It was such an original drink. Everything was so yummy. The place is in a perfect little corner spot tucked away in Sunnyside, residential, but feels fun. Definitely can't wait to come back.

I remember when Bookbar occupied this space many moons ago. I used to like that place a lot. Well, I'm also beginning to like the new life My Boy Tony has brought here. It caters to a younger crowd, whether you're bar hopping on Tennyson with a group or looking for a spot to take a hot date. For better and worse, it's a neighborhood bar at its core. The most shocking thing is how they transformed the space from the previous tenants. It has a beautiful open layout with nice furniture and design. The bartenders are generally friendly and prices are in line with similar cocktail bars in Denver. The few times I've been here I've been in a cocktail mood. Negronis and Old Fashioneds are made well and are slow sippers I enjoy. They do have a nice selection of wines that I'll have to try when it tickles my fancy. The only hiccups here for me are some really long wait times for drinks. They usually have two bartenders and sometimes it gets really backed up. No one is running the floor when I've been there bussing and wiping down tables. Though I understand with a location here it can go from being empty to completely slammed in a matter of minutes! If you're looking for a cool, comfortable bar without the pretentiousness or judgment, check out My Boy Tony.

Cons: - The very first bartender we went to (shorter, older guy with a beard) was pretty rude. I understand they were extremely busy and this was probably one of their first services, but at one point while he was making drinks I asked him a question about one of the cocktails and he barked at me to please stop talking to him because he was trying to remember the ingredients and he would be with me in a minute. My friends and I were all kind of taken aback by that. I wasn't being annoying, I was very friendly... and it would've been my first drink of the night so it wasn't a great experience to start out. - This is definitely a bougier place.

We were approached by the only other person at the pool and were harshly told what we can and cannot be doing. This person was a resident and told us that we couldn't even touch a lounge chair. It was very rude and unnecessary considering the 30 empty chairs all around. This person then contacted the waitress and manager and made a huge deal of it. We were eventually asked to get out of the pool. This seemed like a huge miscommunication handled very terribly. This was not a great look for the building as it is still leasing unit out.
