License No. 1

License No. 1 in the Hotel Boulderado on 13th Street in Boulder takes its name from the city's first legal liquor license issued after Prohibition, and the space pays homage to that era through a proper cocktail lounge aesthetic. The 21-plus room can host live music Wednesday through Sunday nights, with a lean toward jazz that matches the setting. For guests, it is one of the more atmospheric Boulder stops for a considered drink and a jazz set; for artists, the annual booking cadence (Melanie fills the following year's calendar starting in November) creates a real long-runway opportunity for musicians who plan ahead.
