Called “Broadway’s Home Away from Home,” the Buell Theatre is the obvious choice for musicals making a stop in Denver while on national tour.

Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum
Capacity: 500
Location: 7711 E Academy Blvd
Great For: Parties, Receptions
Locals know the Wings Over the Rockies as the museum of record for engineers, aviation enthusiasts, and all-around curious people.

Rembrandt Yard
Capacity: 500 Standing / 220 Seated
Location: 1301 Spruce St
Great For: Company Retreats, Weddings
Sometimes, a blank slate is simply too bare; an ornate venue, too over-the-top. Rembrandt Yard struck the ideal “not too hot, not too cold” middle-ground that event planners love. The art gallery and venue has creative touches that warm the space, yet enough wiggle room to allow design-conscious planners to put their own touch on their event. A fabulous place for a team brainstorming session.
DAGAR
Capacity: 50

Great For: Meetups, Networking Events
Have an axe to grind? We can’t help you. Need an axe to throw? That, we can assist with.

That twist offers beer, art, and therapeutic axe throwing for small parties of 50 and under.
Washington Park Boathouse
Capacity: 150
Location: 701 S. Franklin St.
Great For: Wedding Receptions

Bigsby’s Folly
Capacity: 280

It’s known as Bigsby’s Folly, and it’s an informal event space ideal for wine-centric team celebrations.
