Blue Ice has the look of a trendy Denver cocktail lounge, but the older set that imbibes there is more interested in seeing booze than being seen.

Also, The Church let's the kiddies in on the fun sporting some of Denver's only 18 and up dance club nights and when the nationally and internationally touted local DJs are dropping mad beats and you need a breather, check out the roof top deck for a stellar view of Denver.
