This is a very, very special place. Lots of people from all walks of life, and theyre pretty much all there to just kick back and have some fun. Dont sweat the reviews attacking the staff or customers. The staff are really good folks who put themselves out there to make sure the rest of us can relax, goof around, and have fun. As for the customers? Just like the world outside the Stampede, there are lots of nice folks and there are a few rude jerks (of both genders). Pick the ones you like to hang around with, ignore others, and have a good time. No big deal. Just mind your cowboy/cowgirl manners and things will be fine. There are real country people and lots of regular suburbanites (like me). While youll meet the full range from people who do hard physical work to high end professionals, Its not about status or culture wars, its just about fun. I cant speak for the food. I go there to dance, socialize, and play pool. The dance lessons are terrific (esp on Fridays), and the racetrack-style dance floor is a rare and special thing that makes maintaining line of dance much easier and safer. Lots of pretty ladies, especially on Wednesday nights. Some very fine gentlemen there as well, speaking for myself. ;-) The crowd gets very young by about 10:30, and the music tends more towards hip-hip. This is my only complaint about this place. The #1 fantastic thing about the Stampede, as a dance place, is that the layout is not really bar-like and definitely not restaurant-like, so it is much easier to mingle with and approach MOTOS than at any night spot Ive ever been to. If youre new to country dancing, wear sturdy shoes with leather soles, take some lessons, and get yourself out there. Cute little sandals, flip-flops and shoes with grippy soles (work boots, sneakers, etc) are all REALLY BAD ideas in terms of toe and knee safety. If Im paying attention, I wont ask you do dance if youre not wearing sensibly safe shoes. Leather-soled western-style boots, of course, are best. Ask around, youll be certain to find some patient and helpful guys and ladies who are known for giving friendly informal basic lessons in the dances as well as guidance in basic etiquette. Keep at it, its worth it. The dance calendar and schedules are sort of two different things and dont always agree. Check them both before you come out. Come on out!

I didnt mind going. Music was decent, bar prices are fine, and all around its not that bad. Until the other night. At the end of the night, I go to close my tab and find that the bartender gave my credit card to somebody else. Her words were, "Maybe you can cancel it." Sure, okay. Mistakes happen. I was a bartender, Im not really mad at her (although she gave my card to a guy named Terrance, and my name is Clinton. Not sure how you can confuse those two names). So I ask her for the number to the place and call back the next day, just to see if the other guy woke up, realized he had the wrong card, and decided to turn it in. Well, I leave a message for the manager (on an answering machine) and havent gotten a phone call back. Its been three days. Ive already canceled the card, and like I said, mistakes happen. However, it wouldve been nice if the manager called back to at least say, "The other guy still hasnt returned the card. Im sorry this happened to you. This isnt how we do things here." Nope. Never got a single call. So, Ill try to stay away because they dont really care, but Ill probably be back at some point. Just go with cash and dont expect any help should something happen.

I was unlawfully kicked out and assulted. From the bouncers currently working this location I was not intoxicated by any means or refusing what they requested of me. I will be pressing charges and suing this company based on profiling and discremation. I am a person of prior service to the military as well as a patron of this location for a very long time. Ive never once been treated in such utter disrespect or been assaulted as I was tonight I have pictures and plenty of witnesses proving I was wrongfully ejected from the location with wrong and unessacary force. The assault charges will uphold in Cory hopefully they have a very good defense attorney because I am one that will not stand for negligence and utter abuse from poor staffing.

I went to The Stampede for an exclusive group event in Jan 2008 and we paid $75 each person which included the ride from our hotel (Hyatt Regency), a drink and a dance lesson. The buffet, including BBQ chicken, ribs, salad (mainly lettuce, little tomato or carrots), beans, would cost at the most $10/each. The managers are really greedy for charging so much and providing so little. The dance instructor taught us four steps for about 15 minutes and just left (probably because we were sky about dancing in front of our colleagues). Although he had good foot work but he really had a BAD attitude. The mechanical bull was fun, and the singers were great. Overall, I do not recommend this place for group events. They screw you big time.

If you are looking for a place to book your next event, look somewhere else. No one knows anything that is going on. No one can answer any questions. The information on the web site is NOT what they actually offer. It took weeks of leaving messages with people for someone to finally call us back, just 3 days before the event. We were totally on our own. It was the most unprofessional event I have experienced. Good luck if you have a Groupon coupon too. They dont know what to do about that either. The venue worked as it gave us a place to gather with some music and fun, but the customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

FALSE ADVERTISING. Just got here for ladies night with my wife. $5 cover each. We go to the bar and are told there is no ladies night anymore. Were told there hasnt been for six months (despite the HUGE sign in the side of the building advertising ladies night on Saturday and Wednesday). Huge rip off. We used to enjoy ladies night here, ladies drink free, then ladies drink for less, but theres nothing worth a cover, despite the sign. Huge liars.

Most horrible bar in denver. If you want to feel like you are in a movie such as Deliverance, go there. Toothless bouncer and bar manager defended two men who pushed me off the dance floor under the bar. Solution - make the perps apologize. I threatened to press charges, and then the manager threatened me. HMMM sounds like a good time - NOT.

This place is terrible. The employees are incredibly rude! Worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Seriously...worse than anywhere I have ever been. Simply put, this place sucks. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. P.S. Expensive drinks and expensive cover.
