Since opening during the Roaring Twenties, the Gothic Theatre had a long run as a movie house until Steve Schalk took it over, saving it from the wrecking ball. Schalk remodeled and rebuilt the venue from the foundation to the roof, but left theater's art-deco-style interior intact. Now it's a magnificent venue with old-world charm, great sound and a progressive booking policy. Beyond its aesthetic qualities -- and there are many -- the theater takes chances on lesser-known national acts, as well as providing a home for creative local projects that might not otherwise have a stage. The Gothic brings heart, art and plain old beauty to the otherwise messy business of concert promotions.

2011 | Best Reunion

Not so long ago, no one would have predicted that these shows would ever have happened. But Andrew Novick and Daniel Wanush put aside any rancor still outstanding from the Warlock Pinchers' 1992 breakup and performed a one-off collaborative show... More >
2004 | Best Large Venue

A decade ago, the Gothic Theatre was a pit: dank, dirty, with crappy sound and ripped-up seats left over from its Prohibition-era, weekend-matinee heyday -- the perfect setting for punk shows back before the style became sterilized. In 1999, the... More >
2003 | Best Bar at a Local Music Venue

Perched high in the Gothic Theatre's cavernous rafters, the bar at the back of the balcony is the optimal place to quaff a drink at a show. Its lofty location allows for a near-bird's-eye view of the stage as well as the theater's lively art-deco... More >
2002 | Best Midsize Venue in Denver

When he bought the Gothic in 1999, owner Steve Schalk, a former Hollywood set designer, poured his vision (and his bank account) into salvaging the south Broadway space from its formerly sorry existence. The result was a magnificent house with... More >
2001 | Best Hospitality in a Music Venue

Matt Need and his friendly staff do what few proprietors of Denver music rooms do: They treat local bands with respect. Beneath the Gothic Theatre's large stage lies a greenroom with furniture you're not afraid to sit on, a shower you're not... More >

Children of Bodom

By Tom Murphy | Thu, February 02, 2012

Having changed its name from Inearthed to a reference to the infamous Lake Bodom murders of 1960, this Finnish band continues to defy easy categorization in any specific subgenre of metal. The band's precision and furiously fast and melodic riffin... More >
Talk nerdy to me at Bop Skizzum's first annual Nerd Prom

By Josiah M. Hesse | Tue, January 31, 2012

Hey, all you super-squares, time to dig out that sparkly prom dress with the puffy sleeves and the ill-fitting leisure suit. Run to that dusty box in the closet to bust out the retainer, the ho More >

Salt-N-Pepa

By Ru Johnson | Thu, December 15, 2011
