As a rebutal against all of the one star reviews let me just say this. First, unless your are going to see an overpriced show at fiddlers, red rocks or pepsi center wake up there just isn't going to be large seating areas. Second, there is hardly a concert that goes by without anyone sneaking in joints or long lines at the bar. Additionally, this venue is a great place to catch live acts that tour exclusively for the fans and a place where tickets are less than $30 dollars. Drinks here are not too expensive compare $7 dollar MGD at the mammoth to 5 dollar Guiness at the Gothic. Another upside is that lines are usually short in contrast to other reviews on this location. I have been to at least 20 shows here and at most wait in line ten minutes. Finally, unless you are seeking a high class venue with $10 martini's and want to listen to Cher the Gothic is an all around great local venue with a wide range of talent.\r

P.S. Bands usually hang out afterward in the parking lot. Try getting this opportunity at the large venues.
Pros: close to downtown Denve, great variety of shows, inexpensive
