Attended a show here tonight! I saw some of my favorite YouTubers, the Game Grumps! This venue is a historic one, as many are in CO, but the atmosphere is really cool. The paintings on the wall are old, and the ceiling has a pretty stellar design. You go in and you feel like you’ve stepped back in time in the best way possible. The only thing I didn’t like about it, that I have qualms with about every venue, is that somehow they have the audacity to charge $16 for the worst whisky ginger I’ve ever had. I realize that venues gain a lot of their money from alcohol sales, but it’s pretty astounding what they think they can charge. It’s a slap in the face to the patrons. I would wager that you could cut the cost in half, and people would buy 2-3x more booze than they would otherwise. But hey, what do I know? Great location off the 16th st. Mall. If you’d like to come down to Denver and make a day of it, this is an excellent way to end it. All around there are parking lots and structures, stores and restaurants, as well as super convenient access to public transport. I highly recommend this venue to anyone who is wanting to see a show in Denver! Just, get boxed up at one of the many restaurants or bars around the area before you go to the show.

Stars for my appreciation of their diligence in vaccination and mask requirements. Kind of next level seriousness though. They even provide N95 masks to those that only have cloth masks. Stars because the venue is beautiful. May go again utilizing my own tips if the show is worth it. In sum, this was my first show at the Paramount and it was a bad first impression. PRO-TIP: DO NOT pay a lot for a seat where people will sit in front of you. I had to lean far left and right to see a small snipit of the stage because a person 1 foot taller and 1 foot wider than me sat in front of me. I could literally not see past his head and shoulders without contorting myself uncomfortably and kept having to shift every time he did. ANOTHER TIP TO WOMEN: Buried in the Paramount website and no other reference otherwise is a no self-defense tool policy. They will confiscate AND THROW AWAY your sharp key chain, pepper spray, and all other common tools we have to use to defend ourselves. So if you are downtown alone and walking back to your car or the lightrail late - walk fast! The pros - beautiful, intimate venue and "decent" prices. The cons - There. Are. So. Many. For starters cattle herding of people and rude ushers that treat you like you're a child. As a 5'1" small-framed person I felt cramped and the small seats hurt my back after a little while. Can't imagine being any taller and sitting there for 90 minutes. Seats are not well staggered so people are seated directly in front and behind you. No coat check or lockers to temporarily store your self defense tools or large winter coat (good luck holding that big coat in your tiny, cramped seat the entire show), yet they have plenty of staffed, over-priced snack stations. The staff berate you for finding your seat on your own and blind you with their bright flashlight in your eyes to ask you if you are using your cellphone (she wasn't) or if you are in the correct seat (they were), BUT THEY IGNORE A BELLIGERENT DRUNK yelling, starting fights, and disrupting the majority of the show for an entire section of people no problem.

Bought tickets to Jason Bonham, Little River Band and Jesse Cook. Bonham show: with mask rules in place, 50% or more people were not wearing masks. Little River Band show: with mask rules in place, same thing - probably more than 50% not wearing masks (SEE PHOTOS). Paramount cashier-employees wore masks over mouths only, noses breathing in the wind. Jesse Cook show went like this: 6/22/21 purchased ticket 11/1/21 email describes new Vaccine Passport/Negative Antigen Test Rule in place with a refund option. 11/1/21 I took the option and requested a refund immediately. 11/4/21 email received saying, “Please note that the Event Organizer is not allowing refunds at this time.” After back and forth emails on 11/6 and11/7, I asked for the contact information of the Event Organizer. 11/18/21 Ticketmaster writes, “Unfortunately we are not allowed to disclose that information as that is internal information. We apologize for the inconvenience. We hope you have a wonderful day.” 11/19/21 Did as I was told and had a wonderful day. 2/2/22 I decide to test and go to the show since rather than have them rip me off. I buy antigen tests from Walgreens. 2/4/22 I take the test and it is negative, of course. 2/4/22 I receive an email with new rules about acceptability of tests. Well, it’s too late to get their type of test done now and I refuse to pay $75 at the door for their tests. 2/5/22 Paramount employees deny my negative antigen test and turn me away from the door. Paramount is responsible and should have issued a refund, but they hid behind Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster hid behind an “Event Organizer”. So, the bottom line is that the secret “Event Organizer” via Ticketmaster via Paramount stole $137.75 from me and I missed out on seeing one of my favorite musicians.

I was assaulted while here, missed about half the show dealing with the police and whatnot, was made to sit at the very back of the theater for the remainder of the show (despite paying a fair amount for good, close seats). While this was not the fault of the venue, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my safety, it was disappointing that I was offered absolutely nothing as some form of compensation for missing half the show and losing my paid for seats due to the bad acts of another theater patron. Not a discount, a voucher to another event, nothing, nor any mention of anything. And frankly this has impacted my decision whether or not to buy more tickets to events held here because now I know if something goes wrong, I will miss the show, lose my seats, and get nothing beyond an apology - even if I'm assaulted by a fellow theater patron. So I haven't been back and am not sure I will be. People aren't in a position these days to lose over $100 in ticket value when trying to go out and support performers during a pandemic and recession. The pics are from the show I (partially) saw by Bianca Del Rio. What I saw was amazing, hilarious, and 100% Bianca. I loved it.

My husband and I had so much fun! We saw Ronny Chieng for our first show at the Paramount. It was organized well and staff was polite. There were two reasons for four stars instead of five. We paid for pretty good seats within the first few rows and the seating wasn't great. The back of the theater had nice plush velvet theater seats with cup holders, and arm rests with a little room to move. The front sections had smaller padded folding chairs that were touching eachother leaving absolutely no personal space. There was nowhere to place your drinks and the space in between the front rows was cramped too. Since we were not aware of that we bought drinks and snacks which became inconvenient. We had to put them on the dirty floor which was a little gross. We were also unavoidably touching the people next to us and we are slimmer in figure so it just goes to show how small the chairs were and how close they were together. So we were a bit uncomfortable which made it a little harder to enjoy Ronny's show. Anyway, it was a mostly good experience, but good to note those things for other people so they know before they go.

I recently attended an event at the Paramount Theatre in Denver, and it was an incredible experience. The theater itself is a beautifully preserved Art Deco gem, with intricate details, elegant lighting, and a nostalgic charm that transports you to a different era. The acoustics were excellent, making the performance sound rich and immersive. Seating was comfortable, though some areas have a slightly obstructed view due to the vintage layout. If you're attending a concert or show, I recommend arriving early to soak in the ambiance and grab a drink at the bar. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring smooth entry and service throughout the night. One minor downside is that parking in the downtown area can be tricky, so planning ahead or using public transport is a good idea. Despite that, the Paramount Theatre offers a unique and memorable venue for live events, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special night out in Denver. Would definitely return for another show!
