The story
Founded in 1997 as a neighborhood jazz club at 930 Lincoln Street, Dazzle has operated continuously as Denver's premier jazz venue for nearly 30 years. The club has moved twice — to Baur's Building in 2017 and to the Denver Performing Arts Complex in 2023 — growing its capacity and programming scope each time. Today it operates as a multi-room live music venue and event rental space, using embedded commerce tools (Toast POS, SpotOn loyalty and gift cards) to manage food, beverage, ticketing, and event revenues.
