Dirty Dogs Roadhouse

Billed as the number-one biker bar in Colorado, Dirty Dogs Roadhouse on West Colfax in Golden runs on rowdy, roadhouse energy, with most shows landing Thursday through Sunday nights. Performances happen inside or outside depending on the weather. The programming is genre-varied: acoustic, blues, rock, country, folk, funk, punk, R&B, rockabilly, singer-songwriter, and soul all show up on the calendar. For guests, it is a distinct and unfussy Colorado bar experience with live music built into most weekends. For performers, the audience already knows what it likes, so acts that fit the roadhouse mold are the ones that find the room most rewarding.
