Formerly known as the Horny Toad, the Toad Tavern has gotten its hormones under control. What was once a quaint suburban bar is now a full-fledged music venue, as the space was expanded to almost 5,000 square feet and filled with new furnishings, refinished surfaces, raised ceilings and a stage that's been beefed up considerably from its postage-stamp-sized predecessor, which could fit no more than four people. The new stage can easily accommodate a ten-piece act or more, and professional-quality sound and lighting are also now in place. In addition to recruiting a steady stream of local and national rock acts, the venue brings in a fair amount of nationally known blues artists.

cool little music venue
Lots of great shows. Intimate setting.
After taking over the Toad Tavern this past August, one of Brice Hancock's top priorities was to build a new stage. Today the tiny spot in the corner that couldn't fit more than four people is no more; bands now perform on a better-situated platform that can easily accommodate at least a ten-piece act. And Hancock didn't stop there. He also raised the ceiling about eight feet and beefed up the sound system, doubling the number of speakers and power amps and effectively transforming a quaint...

It's no secret that the club market in Denver is oversaturated. And like crabgrass, for each spot that doesn't make it, two or three others sprout up in its place. Nowadays, folks need a reason to search a place out -- namely, cheap drinks, plenty of free parking, and great sound and booking. The Toad Tavern has all of those things. But the best deal of the week happens at Toads on Friday nights, when, in exchange for a small door charge, you get all the free Anthony's pizza you can shove... More »
