Bluebird Theater

Bluebird Theater is a music venue in City Park featuring a tiered floor design with a balcony that provides clear sightlines to the stage. The building accommodates around 550 people across its multiple levels.

The building opened in 1915 as Thompson Theater, serving the neighborhood as a movie house during its early years. Decades later, the venue reinvented itself as a concert hall in the 1990s, establishing its current role in Denver's music scene.

Since reopening as a music venue in 1994, the theater has become known for hosting artists across many genres and serves as a gathering place for music lovers. The intimate size allows audiences to feel close to performers regardless of seating location.

The venue is accessible by public transportation and easy to navigate upon arrival. Arrive early to explore the different seating levels and find a spot that works for your view of the stage.

Before becoming a music venue in the 1990s, the theater went through several unexpected chapters including a period as an adult cinema. This transformation reveals how the building reinvented its purpose across different eras.
