Your wallet takes a hit, but if you want the VIP treatment, bottle service is the only way to go. With your own bottle of spirits, private seating, and sometimes an entire private area, there is no higher class comfort in the nightly arena than by shelling out for your own table. The top of the table service class, these places make the exponentially marked up booze seem like a bargain.

Similar to ex-New York City club-central The Limelight, The Church is, fittingly, housed in a former Gothic cathedral. At first glance there's nothing un-holy about this building, but upon closer inspection one might notice the huge speakers adorning the exterior or the roof top bar tucked behind the steeple. Presumably this allows club kids to dance closer to God. The stain glass windows are pure subterfuge as behind them you'll find a serious sound and light system. In the absence of pews, congregants get spiritual to hip-hop, salsa and house music spun by national and international DJs. Descend into the basement with the rest of the pagans for goth night every Sunday.
Edgy basement bar in LoDo with DJs spinning mash-up (think hip-hop, 80s and Top 40). You have to be really cool to find this place since there’s no signage whatsoever. The trick is to look for the courtyard with the fountain, enter by the entrance in the alley at Lawrence/Larimer and 14th/15th Streets (Aren't we so helpful?!). It’s a high energy place with fun and love vibes in the air, man. The pizza place next door is owned by the same peeps and can feed you munchies or help you fill your wallet with their ATM.

Don’t miss their “Retro Happy Hour” Monday-Friday from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. where they swing back to the 80s with videos and sounds. If you’re the ‘who's who’ of Denver this is where to go. Yeah baby, yeah.

Club Vinyl is a massive club consisting of four floors, including a rooftop patio that packs in the club crowd on the weekends. The main floor has a sprawling dance floor where local and international DJ’s thump out house music.

Or, if this sounds like you, to stare at other people while they're dancing trying to figure out your best pick-up line. We prefer, "Are you the Campbell's spokesperson? Because you look Mmmm good!" Alright, back to the description: The basement area is a more intimate setting, with flat panel TVs lining the walls. The partially enclosed Grecian-style rooftop patio is a great place to spend the night during the summer months.
