Love the rotating art work displayed by the artists themselves. The new outside patio is so clean.
Fun atomsphere, good drinks, EXCELLENT music!!! Just an all around fun place to be!
Best damn dance floor I've seen in years! Not to mention the most attentive bartenders and the widest cross section of patrons and the patio's not too shabby either, and I don't even smoke!
I've been to several bars in Denver. The Compound has everything for everyone. If you want to dance, play, or window shopping it is the place to be. Compound has the best DJ's. DJ Ken-E is my favorite he gets me moving even If I'm not there to dance for the night.
The music is amazing to dance to , the service amazing and it's just a great place to hang out.
Since the renovations the Compound has only become better than before. The owners, managers and staff are ALL just above friendly and helpful. Being the oldest gay bar in Denver, and for the most part under the same ownership, the boys know what we want and need in a great club. Hot men, hot heavy pounding dance music. Come and see the new and improved Compound. I've been going there for years, and intend to continue doing so.
The compound is the best place in Denver to go dancing, with no cover great drinks and hot guys. It can't be upstaged.
The Compound is a great bar to hang out with friends to play darts and/or pool. Their patio is nice and the new dance bar is fabulous. All of the staff are fun to be around and take very good care of their customers.
This is the friendliest bar in Denver. No other bar has such a great variety of customers, entertainment, and staff. The ownership has always been willing to go the extra mile for the clientel.
The Compound is and always will be the best of the best in Denver. The staff is great, we love your DJ's....Zac you Rock!!!! we also love the bartenders, especially the very nice and always has a big smile for the patrons...Jimmie...you are so wonderful.
What a great place to have fun without the stand and model crowd. They have a great staff, good drinks and a wonderful dance floor. Everyone is there to have fun and the staff all go out of their way to make sure of this. They also have the best DJs in the city for sure. I love Friday nights the best. Dj Zac ROCKS. Thanks everybody from the pound. Keep it up.
They have the best drinks, music, and last but not least some of the nicest employees that treat you like a person-you guys rock.
As a long time customer you could not ask for a better place to find owners and staff dedicated to giving everyone a good time
I've got some stories and fond memories of the compound. great people, great times
Of course they are the best because the owners are a couple of great guys, one of which is my brother. :)
The Compound has been such in incredible part of the Denver gay community for such a long time. It is the type of place where everyone goes into at least once. I am sure if you ask around you will find that everyone has a story about the place. Sadly that seems to have ended with the remodel. Everything looks nice and new, but what did they do to the character of the place? Where are the bartenders that knew you by name? The dj's that actually mixed music together instead of throwing on a prerecorded cd. Long gone are the days when the Compound was the place in town to get the strongest drink. Whatever happened to the 'never a cover'? How about the 'slightly unsavory yet always a good time'? This is what made the Compound such a great place. The remodel looks great but apparently it has made everything else about the place sterile.
Since the remodel, The Compound really looks nice, great dance floor and always a good mix of everybody hanging out locally and having a good time. One thing is that the music always rocks here with amazing DJs spinning their cutting edge styles, always been fun to meet up with my friends and hang out and dance without the attitude
Denver has a several great gay bars but what makes The Compound the best is that it has a little bit of everything. It's not too big, not too small...during the day and happy hours it's like a neighborhood bar but at night it turns into a full fledged dance club with a good sized dance floor, fantastic mixes by skilled DJs and a state of the art light show. The crowd is mixed, mostly men, but everyone is welcome. When I moved to Denver 10 years ago I decided Compound was my favorite bar because of these reasons and of the low-key attitude, fast/friendly service and all around good vibe. I've met many great friends (and a few romances!) at the Compound and take all my out of town friends there who always love it! Thanks for the great times Compound! --Cheers!
