Summit Music Hall Denver is a mid-sized live music venue in downtown Denver’s LoDo neighborhood, known for hosting touring rock, metal, hip‑hop, and indie acts in an intimate but high‑energy setting.
Located at 1902 Blake St, Denver, CO 80202, the venue sits centrally in the LoDo district near Coors Field and Union Station. The venue is currently branded as “Summit” but is widely known as Summit Music Hall. The venue has a capacity of roughly 900–1,100 people, depending on the configuration.
The building spans about 12,500 square feet and features full bar service, upgraded restrooms, and modern staging, lighting, and sound systems.
The main room is designed for high energy, featuring a standing‑room floor “pit” with a wraparound balcony on three sides. This layout gives attendees the option of close-up engagement in the pit or “bird’s‑eye” views of the stage from above.
Inside the venue, there is also a smaller, internal room called the Moon Room. This separate space is utilized for more intimate shows, performances by local bands, and special events.
Beyond its layout, the venue is also defined by its sound system, musical focus, and management. Summit Music Hall in Denver is a key stop for mid‑level touring bands not yet at arena level, as well as “underplay” shows by bigger artists seeking a smaller room.
The venue underwent a major audio upgrade to a modern line‑array system in the 2010s, which significantly improved clarity and coverage and gets consistently good reviews from fans and bands. Genres span rock, punk, metal, emo, hip‑hop, pop, and electronic; past performers have included acts like Imagine Dragons, Neon Trees, AWOLNATION, Alkaline Trio, Talib Kweli, and Wale.
The building has housed several nightlife concepts over the years (including Club Bash and LoDo Music Hall) before being converted to Summit Music Hall in 2010 by promoter Soda Jerk Presents. Live Nation later acquired the venue and invested in renovations that expanded capacity, upgraded artist areas, and refreshed the interior and branding to the current “Summit” identity. Live Nation also promotes most of the shows there.
Summit provides ADA seating options and regularly hosts private rentals for a range of event sizes.
The main floor includes an ADA section near the front (stage left), with ramp access and accessible restrooms, although there is no elevator to the balcony. The space is frequently rented for private events—corporate parties, fundraisers, and receptions—with configurations that can handle anywhere from a few dozen guests up to around 1,200 depending on how the rooms are used.
