The Bluebird Theater was built in 1913 and originally named after the prominent Denver grocer and druggist, John Thompson. The theater was renamed in 1922 and became an important part of the community. The theater was also initially a movie house and went through various phases over the years. In 1994, Chris Swank and a business partner invested in the Bluebird and it re-opened as a mecca for music that you know today. The theater is laid out in tiers with a balcony overlooking the entire space.

In 2006, AEG Live took over the Bluebird Theater and made significant upgrades to the production aspects of the room.

Named as one of the Best Clubs in America by Rolling Stone magazine, the Bluebird's 500-person capacity offers an intimate event venue with a vintage, historic vibe. Built in 1913, the classic Bluebird Theater was originally a vaudeville theater, turned movie theater in the 1960’s. Currently, the Bluebird Theater is an exclusive concert and special event venue in the heart of the East Colfax Avenue district, surrounded by restaurants, bars, brewpubs, galleries, and shops.

The Bluebird is laid out in three tiers with a balcony overlooking the entire theater. Seating and tables are arranged according to the type of entertainment being offered and the exceptional sound and lighting makes for an unforgettable experience, no matter where you are in the theater.
