Bluebird Theater — Attraction in Denver

The bluebird is a nice and intimate venue, absolutely amazing for small concerts... as long as your not disabled.

Unfortunately it is not very accessible for disabled people. There is no actual ADA/Accessible area, they just pull up a chair to the front of a barricade on a slightly elevated platform in the back. Unfortunately when sitting, there is not a view of the stage if people are over 5’8 are in front of you even though they are on a lower platform. (This is an issue for people who are wheelchair bound). Also there is no was to distinguish the difference between the ADA area & everybody else which lead to crowding.

My experience here being disabled meant I could not see & intense crowding ( I had a able-bodied couple grinding a inch from my face the whole show, falling over me & constantly bumping into my chair). As someone who needs to sit but is also capable of occasionally standing I found the crowding frustrating because able bodied people were not aware or respectful of my space. If I wanted to stand and dance, I frequently had to fold up my chair every time I wanted to stand because the lack of space (if you require a wheelchair but can also occasional stand then this would be a nightmare).

I would highly recommend the bluebird follow suit of the Ogden and get a rope barrier for their disabled clientele. I would change my review to 5 stars if they got the rope barrier but for now I’m giving it two stars because although it’s a nice venue the rights of the disabled should be...

We went to Denver to hear the Felice Brothers on June 27. First, I'd like to say the personnel at the Bluebird Theater could not have been nicer, and the facility, though a bit tattered and funky, is adequate. The opening act (Jonathan Rice) was interesting, and we could hear most of his songs and haiku. Ticket prices were reasonable for one of our favorite bands.

However, when the Felices started singing, I knew we were in trouble. The sound system was so loud that neither my wife nor I could tell what they were singing (though we are long-time fans and know most of their songs). After the fourth song, we left, convinced that it was the only safe thing to do to preserve our hearing. Now, whose fault is this? I can't tell you, but somebody should have told the Felices that they needed to change some settings. For comparison, a month ago, we went to the Stargazers Theater in Colorado Springs (another venue that holds around 500 fans) to hear Gregory Alan Isakov. We sat in the 3rd row, and the sound was perfect--a little loud but not unbearable.

Other than sitting in the fourth row at Red Rocks for a Wilco concert, this is the worst concert experience I've had. We probably won't go back to the...

My 5 star review stems from a couple things. The bar and venue are always on point here. Small, intimate, clean setting, which are my favorite kind of concerts. They treat their guests with the utmost respect. My friend and I were so excited for a concert, got there early, got decent spots on the floor and I started getting a migraine which sometimes gets set off by blue lighting. Blurry vision, nausea, the debilitating feeling you can’t operate, I had it all. The literal worst time to get a migraine, I got one. They gave me a chair outside, gave me as much time as I needed and even let me keep coming back and forth to get a grasp on if I could handle the rest of the concert. The crew outside was so kind and reassured me it was OK and the chair stayed for me. They even had Firefighter EMT’s there that checked up on me and made sure I was OK. I ended up not being able to push through and my friend and I left early, but DANG they handled everything so well, didn’t jump to conclusions on what was going on with me and were so kind and genuinely cared about my well being. I’ve been to other venues that would not have been that kind.

Forever my favorite...
