The manager marquis was super awesome. sweet shoes! He made us feel so special. I love coming here especially to see him. great place and great vibes. see ya again papa and let’s not forget the staff. ;)
the security guards are rude and make creepy unsettling comments to women before they pat us down. i thought the music would be somewhat decent since we paid $30 to get in, but nope, just remixes and the cupid shuffle were pretty much played the whole night. also NOT a very queer friendly space, very hostile drunk underage people everywhere. $12 wells. most of the crowd is single men on the prowl.
Dance? You'll have it here, I promise.
Vibe? You'll find it here, I promise.
Chili? Without beans, ...it's just "soup"? I promise.
$25-30 cover on a Friday - honestly totally worth it. But it's just "dancing" so if you don't want to pay the cover to dance to 'banger bops'... The universal "WE" still accept you 💕. But you won't regret paying the cover unless you want to regret it.

***Final update, after the prior update, I was in contact with Marquis. He was very responsive and professional. They refunded the entire charge, and not just the overcharge. That was very kind of them to do. So here it goes: typical basic club (was not busy the night we went, creepy men, etc etc), bartenders are great, lots of areas to explore, they do not water down drinks. If you have an issue, Marquis is the one who will take care of you. I believe it to be a one time mistake, but with any charges to your card you should always check it before being charged. Life lesson. Anywho, thank you for the fix!
**Update, they asked me to reach out. I did. I even provided all the information needed, date, time, charge, last 4 digits of my card, and nothing. Waited 5 days for a response and nothing. I think that bothers me more than anything. Pay cash and be sure to double check the amount charged, or you will be overcharged. Its kind of messed up to overcharge people you think are too drunk to notice.
This is tricky… the bartenders are great, however, at the end of the night one of them accidentally(hopefully) overcharged me. 5 shots of tequila at the beginning of the night were $60 without tip, 2 adios’ were $44 (understandable) but then the last order was 2 vodka redbulls and 3 shots of tequila was $98??? Should be around $55-65. I tried to reach out the next morning, because that makes no sense and have not heard anything one week later. I really hope she just made a mistake, but as a warning to everyone to make sure you double check the amount and/or pay cash. I get club drinks are over priced, but based on what we would pay for shots, $12 for a shot, the vodka redbulls would be $31 each. Bffr.

The music is trash. I had better music taste when I was at high school prom, college bars, and literally anywhere else. This place has declined consistently for the last 12 months and all they’ve done is hired DJs to play Hannah Montana Theme songs and my little pony.
Hopefully soon they will understand they are a club and should play club music but as it stands. TRASH

My first time here was a blast, they offered so much diversity in music, people and rooms. It's the perfect spot for a group of friends with different interests. They bring the atmospheres out of each room with the music being played. The people there are almost always friendly, almost too friendly sometimes. Prepare for it to be packed. It was super fun.

My second time here was a little lackluster... they had a bunch of zones closed off, especially my favorite part (the roof access) not sure if they're reconstructing or something but it was a little disappointing.
The one great thing here is their security. They are always on top of it and super nice whilst being firm and helpful.

My partner and I had a great time here! I love that there is a variety of different rooms playing different genres of music! It really started to pick up around 11/11:30pm!
Such an amazing place! THE EMPLOYEES are so awesome! I think the world of Mikey, Isabella, Anthony, Elana, Joey, Nate, Doug, and soooo many others. I drive from Parker and brave the Denver traffic/parking insanity once a week just to come dance and enjoy great people in a great place! Thank you guys so much for making one night of EVERY week so special! I'm very new to clubs but I consider LA Rumba and especially MILK BAR to be the two best places to spend your hard-earned money in Denver! You guys are amazing and thank you again.
The security the people that are supposed make sure girls are safe, decided to take advantage of my daughter on a side road somewhere in Thornton. Are background checks required? These people are vulnerable and need to be looked after not prayed on . I’m sure she’s not the first
I can’t believe a bar of this size doesn’t offer a water fountain. So many of the bartenders here also straight up refuse to give free water. This is just dangerous and stupid, I wish the owners would do better since this is a fun place to dance but not if you can’t do it safely.
$50 cover on NYE. No coat check and drinks were expensive. One dance floor was dangerously overcrowded, and others barely had anyone in them. It smelled like puke everywhere. This was my first time here, and I had fun, but for a $50 cover, I expected better.
Look some of the bar tenders here are the most awesome souls ever. They do work for tips pretty much, that usually all they get. The music it depends on the night. Prices on drinks also seem to depend on the bartender. I’ve had friends get charged 2 to 3 times the price for the same drink. Just because another bartender decides to charge more. That part not cool at all. Just keep that in mind. It could be bartender not the bar if the drinks are way high. The night also does change the price too. A little, it might go from $5 to $10 a drink. Not $10 to $30 on the same night, that only happens because of the bar tenders. Also some bartenders will not give you tap water out of the gun. They charge you like $2-$5 for a bottle water. Keep those things in mind. Come out if you like the music or the DJ’s. Don’t bring or try to bring in weapons or illegal products. Be kind and respectful and keep in mind everyone trying to have fun. No one gets paid enough to try to help a person ODing or hurt. Cover also depends on the night.
I would suggest you plan on spending about $50. If you drink and want in. Sign up for texts and things and get deals. $50 should get you in & a drink or a few.

WOW they've really expanded!!! FREAKIN' WILD
They've got 2-3 new areas/stages, tons more space, tons more people. I'd be more specific but I got litti
I even lost my phone but the staff were great and not only found it by the next evening, but charged it, had me unlock it, and were very professional.
All of their staff are awesome, cool people; but very professional! The door guy is cool, and very through.
I'll definitely be back!! Seriously, I can't believe how much better and bigger it is now!!!

I stumbled on this place with my friend accidentally but I'm so glad we did. It was so much fun. There was a lot of different atmospheres and there was even an arcade. The drinks were pretty good overall it was the amazing time.
This used to be my favorite bar in Denver. So many rooms to explore and fun music. However, they doubled their cover to $20, and drinks are still $15 for a single well. Was here last night until 1 am and it was pretty dead. Makes sense with such a high cover!! Crowd was whack.
