The Grizzly Rose, a well-established country music venue in Denver, is set to expand its footprint by opening a second location in Colorado Springs. The new establishment, named The Whiskey Rose, will officially welcome guests on March 6, transforming the former Whiskey Baron Dance Hall & Saloon space into a vibrant hub for live performances and entertainment. This move signifies an exciting expansion of the beloved honky-tonk bar’s legacy, bringing its unique atmosphere and rich musical heritage to a new city.
For over three decades, The Grizzly Rose has been a cornerstone of Denver's country-western culture, hosting some of the biggest names in the genre. From Garth Brooks to Taylor Swift, the venue has seen countless iconic performances that have cemented its place in music history. The owner, Scott Durland, expressed his excitement about continuing this tradition at The Whiskey Rose, ensuring that the new location will offer the same high-energy experience that has made the original so popular.
The Whiskey Rose will occupy a spacious venue capable of accommodating up to 700 people, featuring a stage, dance floor, and various amenities designed to enhance the guest experience. Live music events will be held on Fridays and Saturdays, catering to an adult audience, while Sundays will be open to all ages. The first major performance at the new venue will feature Bryan Martin on March 20, with tickets available for purchase online.
In addition to live music, The Whiskey Rose plans to continue offering dance lessons, a signature feature of the original Grizzly Rose. General Manager Lindy Arnold emphasized the commitment to creating an unforgettable experience for every visitor, from the moment they step through the doors. With a focus on exceptional service and an immersive country-western ambiance, The Whiskey Rose aims to become a beloved destination for music lovers in Colorado Springs.
The arrival of The Whiskey Rose marks a significant milestone for both the Grizzly Rose brand and the local entertainment scene in Colorado Springs. As the new venue prepares to open its doors, it promises to bring a fresh wave of excitement and cultural enrichment to the community, continuing the legacy of excellence that has defined The Grizzly Rose for years.
