Mercury Café, 2199 California St.

For over thirty years the Mercury Café has been a haven for weirdos, free spirits, dancers, musicians, poets, misfits, and artists of all walks of life. One of the only spots in Denver that maintains its reputation as an inclusive and open space for so many people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, and anyone really. Mercury has long since offered anything from swing dancing and belly dancing classes to weekly poetry slams.
