    Dang, I’m impressed! My first time at the Black Box and my jaw dropped to the floor with how perfectly balanced this sound system is. If you’re into music with a proper amount of bass and enjoy getting your internal organs vibrated, this is the place! Very underground vibe, so if you’re an old school raver like me, you’ll feel right at home. The staff is extremely nice, including the security folks. I wish I can come back and see a techno show on this sound system one day. Please send my greetings to whoever does the visuals, really cool stuff! Highly recommended!

    As someone who enjoys smaller shows, this venue is amazing. It's a comfortable venue without too many bells and whistles that has a nice atmosphere and is well thought-out. The music sounds incredible on their funktion-one sound system. I tend to feel overwhelmed when there is an excess of really bright lights at a show, but that is not a problem here. Lights are mellow and the music is played at an appropriate volume (bring earplugs though.) Seriously, come check this spot out. PS: I don't drink alcohol and I was very excited to find out that they have a long list of non-alcoholic options, from sodas, to juices. So thank you for doing that. I feel seen.

    Came here for The Get Down and was impressed with the venue and staff. They had plenty of N/A options and drinks were reasonably priced. Lucked out with free parking two blocks away. Bartender was super helpful and friendly. Looking forward to come here again and enjoying great House music.

    Best venue in Denver (if not the entire country)! Top notch sound system, consistently killer lineups, beautiful art throughout, & the best patio in town. Really couldn’t like this place more.

    I love that The Black Box always has a save environment for me and others around! The staff/security are always so helpful when anything is happening and needing to take action. I go out alone a lot, and there are some weird situations I have ran into. it’s nice to know there are people who care and look out for the community!

    This is by far my favorite venue I’ve been to in Denver. The staff is incredible and friendly, from FOH/security to bar and beyond. The system is legendary and I knew about it before I even moved here from the east coast. The fact that blackbox not only brings in international artists that sell the venue out but still also have free nights in the lounge and even $10 shows on Tuesdays is a total win. This is a spot for the audiophile like myself (where you can immerse yourself in not only reputable artists but support locals as well) or a chill spot to spend a fun night out with friends without getting too expensive. Nicole has and continues to do an fantastic job. I cannot recommend this place enough.

    The home of the underground never ceases to disappoint. The lounge is a great place to hang and have a drink with very reasonable prices, places to sit, pool and usually free or cheap cover. The main stage has the best sound system I've ever heard, the best setup in Colorado, and become a literal spiritual experience for me. Don't worry if you haven't heard of the DJ playing tonight, just go and be ready to get lost in sound.

    This is the best venue in Denver. It's an institution that holds down the underground feel that makes you feel like you're in an intimate spot somewhere in Bushwick. The sound system, people, and the overall vibe are all great. I only wish they played more variety of music genres. But even if you're not into dubs like me, you have to visit at least once when in Denver. Keep up the amazing work.

    The staff is great. But the crowd has too much negative energy. And for Pete's sake get separate mens and women's bathrooms...so awkward.

    Great sound on BOTH sides. If you enjoy underground electronic music! Make sure to hit the main room for a show. The patio is pretty big with plenty of seating and good conversations

    Finally went to this legendary spot and it did not disappoint! Staff were super nice, sound system is as insane as advertised and most patrons seemed like the easy going types you want at your dubstep night. I will be back again!

    Great venue for live music. Three very distinct areas to control the level of volume and conversation

    Hands down the best venue in North America. Has the best set up for dubstep/Edm Music. BASS THAT SHAKES YOUR BODY FROM HEAD TO TOE. from the staff, security, attendees and Djs, the place has family Vibes. It's own community where u can be free to express yourself, and dance safely. Big shout out to the black box !

    If you like dubstep, this is the place. The sound system is amazing, the energy and vibes are so good. The floor literally vibrates so you feel the music not just listen to it. I've only been there a couple of times, but the experience is great.

    Fav club in Denver! The sound and artist selection is top-notch. Everyone is friendly (including staff) and plenty of fun dancers. Great AV and thoughtful touches like fans/water. Floor vibrates. Free concerts in the lounge and pool.

    This is the HQ/family dance spot for bass music in the United States. Unreal sound, unreal booking, and you can meet some gems of human beings by just hanging out there. Tell all your friends but tell them to not tell anybody else.

    Black box is a literal discription. Pitch black in main stage part of the venue a little more light on other side/stage. 11$ for craft beer/cider 12 oz can. Free and open environment for byo... tho. Great Acoustics

  • 5/5 Eric F. 9 months ago on Google • 36 reviews
    Nice spot even on a Tuesday night! Saw some cool underground Dub step acts. Nice outdoor area to kick it in. Bartenders were very nice and she was even easier on the eyes 💋

  • 5/5 Dylan L. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    One of the best music venues ever. The sound system is phenomenal, and the vibes are always on point. I am forever grateful to The Black Box! Their loyalty card is an amazing deal too.

  • 5/5 Paul B. 1 year ago on Google
    I love having 2 stages to switch vibes between. But nothing beats the main room sound system!!!! Truly a wonderful place for a great night of music!!!

  • 4/5 N 1 year ago on Google
    The Ryan Celsius show last night was crazy! The sound system is great, staff are super nice- the only reason I can't give the venue 5 stars is that they used to be friendly to flow toys (I spin staff) but they no longer allow them. I understand safety but it's kind of unreasonable, I personally don't spin if I'm within 7 feet of humans or walls, safety first, you know? Maybe have some sort of flow sign up form. Other than that, great venue, probably the best in Denver right now

  • 5/5 Digital N. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun venue with a good sound system. The sound had good bass and the treble want turned up to high. There is metered street parking and a medium size lot next to the venue that I think cost 12 bucks for the night. The staff was friendly and drinks were reasonably priced. I'll definitely be back. I hope they have more Phonk shows!
