The Black Nugget

The Black Nugget on Main Street in Carbondale is the lower Roaring Fork Valley's premier music venue and community bar, a 290-capacity 21-plus room with a full week of live music. Programming runs Thursday through Sunday, with Thursdays reserved for acoustic acts and Sundays given over to open mic. The programming is genre-open and the room draws a returning valley-first audience. For guests, it is one of the essential Carbondale stops for a night out; for artists, the four-night weekly rotation and the acoustic-plus-open-mic bookends create a genuinely varied set of slots.
