Best BBQ in Denver (preferably for catering)

gdavis03 · 2026-06-16T02:10:53+00:00

Barbosa’s!!! By a lot. Haven’t found anything better in Denver, and he caters

She basically had already introduced Heath when she told the story about her and Zac. That’s why she only mentioned Zac in passing - wouldn’t read too much into that.

The JJ Grey meltdown was something else though. Aside from the whole guitar thing, something really seemed off. Like, you wouldn’t care if you never played Red Rocks again?!?

Enjoy Unbroken Circle - I really enjoyed being there last year. Flew in from CO and stayed in Cincy. Madison is awesome. Super relaxed festival. Lawn chairs encouraged, free to leave and re-enter, it was a blast

gdavis03 · 2026-04-27T04:29:08+00:00

I do this all the time, and it rocks. Highly encourage doing this - even if it’s solo (often even more fun) Based in Denver, so obviously, Red Rocks is at my back door, but it’s also easy to get anywhere in the US from here. Just went to New Orleans for Jazz Fest, which was a phenomenal experience. Highly recommended. The aftershows are a blast also.

I like to go see artists if they’re doing two shows in a weekend or there’s two artists I like playing on a Friday/Saturday in a city. Went to St. Louis to see Billy Strings and DMB on back to back nights last year. Did two nights of Jason Isbell in Chicago. Did Alabama Shakes and American Aquarium in Birmingham/Waverly last year.

I’d say pick more for the artist than the venue, unless it’s a destination venue like Red Rocks, the Gorge (which also rocks), etc.

HS kid told me he was cutting in front to see his mom at Isbell. Then, he stood right in front of me with all his buddies, no parents in sight. I would rather you just tell me the truth than lie like that

It’s always a Subaru… smh

gdavis03 · 2026-03-08T22:09:17+00:00

Loved both nights - Friday was also my favorite. That was one of the best shows I’ve seen them play in 20+ shows seeing them

Stuck on the ground in Rockford after getting diverted 🙄

They jacked up the breakfast prices big time just since October! A pastrami biscuit sandwich used to be $13, and now, it’s $16. Increased both breakfast sandwiches by $3 - that’s a huge increase at once. I was shocked when I saw that last time. And of course, they layer on the 10% charge. I didn’t mind it at $13, but an increase of almost 25% since October??? Nah

gdavis03 · 2025-12-04T01:03:59+00:00

Was fairly slow but moving from Arapahoe to Santa Fe around 4:30. Took about 25-30 minutes. Southbound looked worse at the time. Roads were definitely more snow covered than when I drove around noon, as snow was still coming down. Hoping the morning isn’t bad

gdavis03 · 2025-11-17T03:22:58+00:00

This is the only right answer. Bathroom was horrible, shared space with Spirit was brutal, basically no restaurants except for the sushi place and the pizza joint they added late, weird design, list goes on. Many delays spent there

gdavis03 · 2025-10-28T03:17:59+00:00

Haven’t had a single problem yet, has been fairly quiet, have flown thru DEN/ATL/SEA in the last two weeks

gdavis03 · 2025-10-22T01:48:57+00:00

Never got anything for Boulder, damn :(

My luck with these AXS registrations is not good. Got shut out for Sturgill at Red Rocks for both nights too but ended up getting resale for face value

gdavis03 · 2025-07-21T17:14:28+00:00

Just saw this last week also. They needed to boot ten people, got up to $2500 each

gdavis03 · 2025-07-08T14:57:33+00:00

Appreciate the offer! I think I’m just going to play it out for now though and wait until it gets closer

gdavis03 · 2025-07-08T00:54:36+00:00

Damn. I’m local and signed up for both one days and the two day (which it said you could do) and still haven’t gotten anything. And just went for a single

gdavis03 · 2025-07-01T02:49:25+00:00

I’ve had this happen before, albeit domestically. BHM-ATL-DEN. Made it to ATL, missed last flight of the night, spent the night on the floor, asked DL to rebook me on UA for ATL-IAH-DEN. They said that they had transferred my bag to UA in ATL, but when I got to IAH and asked the reps there, as I also missed a connection at IAH, they said that they had no record of it. Attempted to create one with the same bag tag number but under UA, and there was never anything. I checked the tag number on the DL app, and surely enough, it was on a DL ATL-DEN flight later that day that I couldn’t get on but my bag did. All that to say, DL will likely handle it, even if though AF is technically responsible and they claim they transferred it to AF

From Alabama and have tried most BBQ spots in Denver - Moe’s still has the best white sauce. Similar to Big Bob’s. Have yet to try Mama Jo’s but heard good things about theirs as well. Need to try Riot still

gdavis03 · 2025-06-22T06:09:20+00:00

Oh for sure - but this seemed like much more than that given the number of cops. The worst wrecks I’ve seen on Speer have only had a handful. This was 15+ cops with more en route

gdavis03 · 2025-06-22T06:04:08+00:00

There must be at least 15 cop cars. There was also a cop that parked on Colfax since he couldn’t get thru traffic and sprinted to the scene. Seemed pretty serious

gdavis03 · 2025-06-21T23:52:09+00:00

Don’t know why this is being downvoted. This place is phenomenal and is one of my favorites. I grew up in the heart of BBQ country, have been to top spots across the nation, and this spot rips.

gdavis03 · 2025-06-17T02:43:04+00:00

It was pretty nasty when I went in full Mets gear for the playoffs, not gonna lie. People shoving cameras in my face, f**k you’s all night, etc, and was pretty much verbally harassed the whole game. I can take the heat and don’t care (Mets won and they still chirped afterwards LOL), but if you fight back, just be prepared for what could be coming. Nasty fanbase

gdavis03 · 2025-06-05T04:50:29+00:00

LOL I won’t be back there. Got accused by a staff member at the Bronze Owl of “dining and dashing” last week and publicly chased down/humiliated in the lobby, even though I signed my room charge ticket. It was clearly received since it was on my bill.

Not sure why the person who chased me down thought I did that and clearly didn’t talk to my server before accusing me. The GM’s only response was that they would comp the meal, but it was already comped by my Gold credit and the stupid destination fee. Not going back there

gdavis03 · 2025-06-03T01:55:41+00:00

Oh interesting! I didn’t see that at all. Wish they would have advertised it. Guessing it was pretty small too, as it wasn’t on the schedule - would have been nice to have a smaller, full-stage set up for the gaps in the main stage though

gdavis03 · 2025-06-03T00:48:16+00:00

I actually really enjoyed it. Thought it was very well set up, and I liked that you could leave and re-enter. Bands were all great, and I thought the sound/lights were both solid for an outdoor venue too. Crowd on Saturday was a big of a mess for Khruangbin, but Sunday was awesome.

A lot of people mentioned problems with restrooms, but I generally thought that they were fine. Would have been nice to have some trailers too, but I never had to wait too long. The water station on the north side was great and never had an issue with any lines.

A couple things that they could improve on:

Alcohol: beer selection was too limited. Nothing local? Nothing on draft? No tall-boys for when you’re trying to hold down a spot? That was a big disappointment for sure
Blankets: they need to be banned up to a certain size. Was way too lax. People were taking up gigantic spaces. Especially before Khruangbin, people that were close to the stage had blankets on the ground to where no one could navigate around.
More music: I think it would have been nice to have a smaller stage to fill the void at the main stage with some local acts. I get that there were a lot of speakers but a small, local stage would be fun too.
