This place is incredible. Its so beautiful inside. And they are really doing all they can with the current state of things. I suggest supporting them in anyway you can

Ive been here multiple times and its always super fun. Great bar! Nice workers! Nice space, and I live for the decor. Please fix the bathrooms though. (for anyone going for the first time there are only 2 stalls and the wait is forever.)

Awesome venue to see local and national acts. Ambiance is amazing at the historic building. Such a cool place with not a bad seat in the house. Sound is amazing too!

One of the best venues in Denver for an intimate show. Ive seen some spectacular events here. The owners are always doing wonderful things to keep this historic landmark alive. I love the marquee and the new beautiful murals. The staff are always friendly and inviting. Keep doing what youre doing! I will be back.

Said goodbye to our buddy Trench w/ Mr. Michael Hornbuckle doing the honor of playing

Great little theater... fun event, great service, friendly staff!

Such a fantastic show! So happy they brought the Oriental back as a venue! Started going there for movies way back when... its where I saw Ferris buellers day off, and the last time I was there I saw Rocky 4. But to see Peter Murphy and David J doing Bauhaus songs together live was a great experience. The crowd was mellow and very relaxed but as the night progressed so did the fun and lively collective mood of the crowd. Everyone was honestly putting out great vibes and the attitude seemed contagious, happy and spirited but never obnoxious. The band was fantastic and my genuine admiration to them all. I can only imagine the altitude and being up there performing... just being on my feet watching them perform like 1981 made me feel exhausted. No way would I be able to put out the level of energy they kept and during certain songs even passed. The Oriental is not the Pepsi center and I am so thankful it is not. The close quarters felt intimate and almost like a private show for me and a few friends... something you lose at other bigger places! Look forward to the next artist I will see there!!!

Saw Escape the Fate, Attila and All That Remains here! The venue was just big enough. The wall decorations were great and the balcony was perfect to see everything and still be able to dance

Decent place that always has the most unique shows in it. I love that it has an old school feel. They have 1 bar downstairs and 1 bar upstairs. When I last went they had 3 bartenders working the downstairs which made the line go by pretty quickly. Parking isnt the best around it, mostly street parking.

Authentic venue thats been a north denver staple for decades. I was there recently and it appeared like they have upgraded their PA equipment. The sound was more clear and pronounced than previous shows Ive seen there. Size of stage is great too

Great show! Awesome venue. I always love going to shows at this place. Millencolin was amazing. Wish they toured the US more often, but they tend to tour Europe far more often. They are so incredibly good, and always seem to appreciate the fans

The Oriental Theater is a great venue for music and entertainment. Each year they have a diverse lineup of shows at fair prices. Get a great view from every seat! Their bar is well stocked and employees provide great service. Parking can sometimes be challenging, but you’ll always find a spot. Most recently we saw Lucha Libre & Laughs - good entertainment!

Nice little venue nestled a few minutes out from downtown Denver. Good acoustics and has a nice tiered arrangement – you can be in the middle of the pit, hang back a bit about 15 feet from the stage, or sit down in the balcony while always enjoying a good view of the action on stage. Bathrooms are a bit awkward to get in and out of due to their location, but an excellent venue otherwise!

Awesome place to see a show! Went to Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse. Energy, and atmosphere was phenomenal! Probably one of my favorite places. Not bad prices on booze either. Thanks for not killing my wallet!

My absolute favorite venue after the Summit fell off the wagon for metal shows. This place is nice, has fair prices for drinks (as far as venues are concerned) and the sound and atmosphere are top notch. Love this place and it is my favorite venue in Denver. If there is a show here of any kind, you wont be disappointed.

A really cool little up close and personal small venue, got to see Dragonforce and two other great Power Metal bands. Dragonforce was incredibly impressive.

I love shows here because the elevated platforms make it so you can see the band great, even if you are farther back. It is a very small venue so you are always close to the band, even when in the balcony. Parking can be a bit tricky in the neighborhood though, but I can often find some on 44th, the West of Tennyson

Amazing ! So much fun!Ladies bathrooms need expanding or to be bigger. Definitely Not enough space or toilets for concert crowd !

I like this theater. Its intimate enough as the band is not 100 miles away from wherever you stand.

The amazing thing about this venue are the events that occur here. The space is ok, could have more bathrooms, food, etc. Probably deserves a 3 star rating, but its openness to all types of event causes me to increase its rating to 4 stars. We love their support of all types of events you cant find elsewhere!

Covid makes everything ehh

Awesome place to see a show!!! Its not a huge place so you dont feel very far away from the bands. Plenty of room for moshing. Staff is super nice too. Great venue!

My friends and I attended a burlesque show here, and I have to say, this theatre is beautiful!! Even though they were under construction and only partially painted, it had beautiful cut out designs and an awesome mural hidden by an exit staircase. The show was fantastic and fun, so please keep putting things like this on!!

The environment is great and I understand it is old but the ventilation was the worst Ive ever seen. There were people sweating and taking off their shirts, some people were on the verge of passing out!! We need to breath!!!

This is a great venue for live performance. Music, comedy or even aerial performances. Specifically trapeze which is what I saw and it was incredible. Its hard to go wrong with the different types of performances they offer. Plus, there are places close by to grab a drink or small plate before your show.

Great little venue, get there early and claim a balcony seat.

Great small venue to enjoy music. Bartenders are so great. Not a bad seat or standing room only spot. Accustics are fine. Only downside are the bathrooms,- small,cramped, and # of stalls.

Nice dive to see a show! Nice view from balcony. Drinks were good and less money then most venues

The acoustics could have been better, but overall it wasnt a bad place to see a show.

All of the bands performed flawlessly. the venue was clean and the beer was cheap!

Saw a show here recently the venue is small and a bit older which is pretty cool. The bar is small but they do a good job keeping lines down. If you use the box office I would suggest calling in advance because I tried to go twice and the open sign was lit up however there was a closed sign on the door and no one was there. I figured probably on lunch but the website says the box office is always open during events and I came by again later that night and it was still closed. Bring cash to the box office or pay online for the same amount of money as a credit card.

Roomy, historic, beautiful.(Not the roomiest restrooms, but thats what you get w/an old building.)I wish they hadnt gotten rid of the water fountain.

Great venue for live music! Theres plenty of street parking in the area around the theater. Although the theater is not huge, there is plenty of room for standing (or dancing / moshing up front), as well as a balcony with lots of standing room and a few seats on the sides. Acoustics are good, too.

Grungy, non friendly individuals working at this place. The employees seem to be “going through the motions”. I would not recommend.

I was pleasantly surprised. Medium sized venue with fun vintage feel. The sound and lighting are great. Bar is good, prices are competitive. Parking is on the street, best to get there early. I found a fairly close spot without too much searching. The only issue is restroom lines. Small restrooms, makes me wonder if people went less in the old days..

Came here for the first time and saw Unleash the Archers & Dragonforce. Staff was super cool and helpful, the venue was efficient as well. Special props to the security team which was on top of their game

Great local theater that has a really classic vibe. Two stories and an intimate atmosphere make it a great venue to feel like every seat in the house is a great seat.

We had great fun here. Great atmosphere and the somewhat off kilter gigs I love. We already have tickets for another one.

Mellow and chill establishment. Door people and wait staff are very good.I look forward to the next time.Thank you Oriental Theater.

I love this place. I went to see VNV Nation there in December 2018 and Colorado Goth Fest with Suicide Commando in June 2019. Both were great shows. The venue is small and comfortable and is in a nice part of Denver Highlands also near Lakeside and Mountain View.

Nice place seems like thats where the punk shows have been happening lately. I dig it! 5 star

Cool place, good vibes. Kind of a locals-only type of place with an old theatre feel. The staff is also great and very accommodating.

Its a unique venue, but its terribly inaccessible for the disabled. Just the tiny womens bathroom stalls are a huge issue by themselves. I wish I could like this place more, but its frustrating how inaccessible it is.

Nice venue. Great show. Comfortable atmosphere. Could have opened the doors a little earlier with the snow.

Great intimate venue. Get up close and personal with the bands. Great staff and security. Awesome bartenders!

Had a great time. Sound was a bit off on a few bands but think it may have been more of the bands soundcheck. Wish all the bars had same selection. Main bar line is very long at intermissions and has all the options.

Amazing acoustics and sound delivery. Love to attend music concerts here. Kept up the old vibes.

Sat in the last row of the second level for the Meateater podcast. Except for the fact I had to try to see around a really tall guy in front of me, the seats were still amazing. The bartenders were very nice and after the show was over it wasnt hard to meet the hosts.

Came for webcast of phish MSG shows. We had a really good time. Nice place. Would definitely go back

My ten-year-old daughter and her aunt attended to show here last night, it was her first rock show. Not only the band themselves but the security for the venue treated her so safely and respectfully I was floored. she is my only daughter so as a mom I was very nervous about letting her go see a rock band but the Oriental theater and their team of security made it such a special night for her I would let her attend any show at the venue again. I want to say thank you to everybody who was working last night and everybody who kept my daughter safe. You guys rock.

A super fun experience at Sip n Cinema, a regular monthly feature at the Oriental Theater! We tried two Japanese whiskeys, a sake juice boxed size, and people brought their puppers to benefit a non profit! Will definitely see other shows here.

Great west side venue with a historic location and building. Love the new sound system upgrade

The Orientation Theater is still one of my favorite venues in Denver. Easy access and great staff are just the beginning. The cocktails are top-notch and they always have fantastic acts come through. As a musician it is great to play with a large stage and some of the finest sound engineers.

Nice friendly staff. Sound was a little off but still was a hell of a show!

Staff is pretty good. Sometimes a little dissorganized it seems. Overall it is a good venue though

Badass place.... the sound system is super good and loud. Amazing venue to big gig!

Great place and super cheap! Went fir first time this sat afterBuying the tickets on Groupon and we loved it!

Good small theater, but the bathroomas are far from adequate (2 womens stalls only??) And it needs more updating. I love the old building but it needs to be modernized to make it functional for this century.

Cant wait for the weekend @golden legends champion challenge Fri and sat MeJamzfilmzit happy to be in the house

Great place for shows! Easy viewing of the stage from just about everywhere. Stand or find a table with chairs off to the sides.

Could use some updates. Very warm in summer - no air conditioning. Limited parking.

This venue has by far the worst sound out of any concert hall in all of Denver. Ive now seen two shows there and pray that none of my favorite bands stop here on tour. All you can hear is bass and drums. Maybe get some sound engineers in there to help with structural issues effecting sound or just have people double check the sound guys mix, but something is way off here.However, Ill still give it 2 stars because, the venue would be a great place to see shows if they just get the mix a bit better. I like the option for upper/lower levels and staff has been overall good from what I have seen.

Was good fun. Venue parking is a bit annoying but theres worse out there. Why 4 stars versus 5? Need bigger restrooms!! Have you navigated a Costume ball and only 2 stalls?

Great time as allways. Been going here since conan the destroyer was first run

First time here. Love it. Balcony is a great place to see the whole stage.

Great place for shows. So excited about all the punk and oi bands that play here .

I djd a wedding here and the sound is incredible. The whole venue is very beautiful.

Great venue showcasing lots of punk and metal bands I like.

Nice setting! Close to the stage seating makes it a little special. Good drinks.

Went to see the Adicts and had a blast. Staff was nice, people are friendly. Just wish the booze was cheaper.

My first time in there I thought it was bigger inside, theres a lack of seating and also felt it was a little dirty, but overall its a cool place.

Saw itchy o, paid for balcony. Amazing show with the Tesla coil and performance.

Clean and pretty every time. I wish the bathrroms were better/more clean though

This theater was beautiful and intimate, the only reason why I am not giving it 5 stars is first it had zero coat check and for Colorados ever changing weather you really need a place for people to check there stuff, and second as with most places the womens bathrooms were completely inadequate only 2 stalls and one sink. I know the building is old and there isnt anyway to change the layout but when you have sold out shows converting the men bathroom into a ladies and getting portable bathroom for the men seems the obvious choice. Overall great experience and I will be back!

This place was a great small venue for watching The Dirt on the screen and getting to see one of our favorite local bands, Hooligans Holiday! We had so much fun. No food, but you can bring food in. They have a small bar inside. I definitely recommend going at least once. Ill be back for sure!

Really cool old historic theater. There looks to still be a lot of original ornamentation.

Went here for a burlesque show for my buddies bachelor party. The dancers did a talent show. Their talents were so impressive we forgot that they were half naked. Great show. Great venue.

Went to Carnivale De Sensuale: Satanic Panic and it was amazing!!!

Absolutely love this venue!! I got to get up close and personal with my favorite band - I love the small, intimate feel this venue provides concert-goers. I’ve been to three shows here so far and have had a great experience every time. I’m looking forward to the next! :)

Amazing venue. Jimmy Dore was amazing live! The place was a little warm for my liking, but had great views from any seat. Would be happy to attend another show here.

Great old theater, its worn over the years in all the right ways. In a neighborhood and Sri hosting great show.

Awesome show. Eldred (dark side of the moon) was fabulous preformance

Truly enjoyed Kayla Marques video screening!

Went to see Rings of Saturn, Enterprise Earth, and Anglemaker and Brand of Sacrifice. Excellent presentation, if a bit small. Having a tiered venue definitely helps separate the pit from the camera crowds though.

Great show! Staff friendly!!

Amazing, historic venue. An iconic spot to catch a show. Dont hesitate to check out this truly unique Denver landmark!

Theres more to the Denver music scene than Red Rocks and the Mission Ballroom. The Oriental is one of the great small theater venues of Denver that hasnt turned into a brofest.

Saw black label society at the oriental tonight. It was very up close and personal. You almost felt like you were on stage with the band. I will definitely be on the lookout for more shows that i can catch here. Thanks for a fun night.

Great venue ! Parking is a challenge so ride services work best. Owner is gracious & always does his best to bring a variety of entertainment.

3 because not much standing area to pit in. Other then that its a great venue, with good sound and AWESOME staff.

This venue is too cool. We flew in from Nashville to see As I Lay Dying play a show and was not disappointed. They had about ten tables that sat four a piece that they sold as a bundle for $200 per table which we promptly snagged as soon as they went on sale. If you want to enjoy a more energetic show without being in the middle of the mosh pit, this is the way to go.

Took my niece to see the Dobre Brothers, they werent very organized at first, my niece isnt very tall so she had to stand back to enjoy the show (which she did). The adults had no place to sit down while waiting the two hours before the show.Other than this little things we had an amazing time, I think the venue is set up alot better for adult entertainment.

The venue is beautiful, and the staff was incredibly friendly, and helpful. We will absolutely come back.

I havent seen and bands there, but the Lucha Libres and Laughs event is pretty good. The comedians can be hit or miss, but the rastlin is always on point.

Carnage the executioner is an amazing performer. Puts on an amazing show.

A sort of crumbly beautiful. This place should always be packed. Check out blues night! It is a great venue whether you like to lounge or shake it. Such a friendly bar staff. Tiny restrooms...but hopefully you dont have to spend a ton of time there.

It would have been nicer . If we were allowed to go to the baclony with out having 500 people their. And to their is no place to sit . The only place to sit you had to pay ridiculous prices to sit. The bathrooms were bad also it is funny they wanted 500 people before they open the baclony but they dont have enough toilets for 500 people.

Awesome concert venue with serious history!! Great vibes in this building and from the staff, security and bartenders. Great shows often scheduled here. Sound is good. Lots of street parking.

Only thing the place lacked was a bigger bathroom, still had a great time though. (:

I love places that believe in and support the local music scene.
