Bass Music Meets Soup Dumplings
Step onto the dance floor and make room for conversation over dinner this Thanksgiving weekend. Check holiday schedules before pairing the stops. Take RTD light rail or a bus home, and don't drive after drinks.
Denver Music and Dinner Stops
Thirteenth Avenue After Dark
The Black Box puts underground bass music first at 314 E 13th Ave in Denver. Step onto the floor during a DJ set and put the sound at the center of your evening. Powerful sound systems serve two performance rooms inside the low-lit venue. Between sets, you can head to the pool table lounge for a change of pace. A full bar adds another place to pause before returning to the floor.
Blake Street Supper
Chef Lon Symensma brings modern Asian cooking to ChoLon in LoDo. Start with the signature French soup dumplings and choose a few small plates to share. Cocktails round out the meal. Tables beside wide windows look onto the surrounding streetscape. Regular hours end at 9:00 PM Tuesday through Saturday. Reservations are available through OpenTable. Check Thanksgiving weekend hours and the chosen show's schedule before pairing dinner with The Black Box.
An Evening of Contrasts
The Black Box centers its identity on underground bass music, with powerful systems serving two performance rooms. ChoLon takes a different approach to creative expression through modern Asian cooking, signature French soup dumplings, and small plates. The connection is a shift in focus, from listening and movement to flavors shared across a table. Together, these Denver places offer distinct ways to gather, pairing the club's dark aesthetic with a restaurant menu that reinterprets traditional Asian street foods.
