Dancing in Denver-Grizzly Rose

The Grizzly Rose is a hot spot in Denver for country dancing and live music. It opened in 1989 and has been a popular spot for dancing, country music concerts, playing pool, and meeting up with friends. You can even try riding a mechanical bull if you are inclined.

I first went to the Grizzly Rose shortly after it opened and took my first country two-step lesson there. I fell in love with country dancing, and I enjoy meeting my dance friends at “The Rose” whenever I have the opportunity. Lately, I have enjoyed learning new line dances.

Wednesday nights they offer free lessons, and Thursday ladies drink free. Their concerts are usually on Friday nights, and they have live music most nights of the week. Sunday is family night, and all ages are allowed.

 

Their large hardwood dance floor is the focal point of their 40,000 square foot space. There is a $10 cover charge to enter. It can get really full after 9:00pm on weekends, so I typically go early to dance for a few hours before the hordes of young people pack the place.
