Reviews of The Black Box
"This place consistently has great EDM music. I like the aesthetic of Black Box as well. I would actually give Black Box 5 stars, but here's why I'm giving it two. While this is a place that plays a lot of black music, there’s a lot happening here that causes me to feel uncomfortable as a black person. And hopefully this goes without saying, I'm not speaking on behalf of black people. I’m just here to talk about my experience. One thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is that a lot of times the crowd isn’t that diverse. For example, one of the first jungle shows I ever went to here was incredible. But I noticed that no one was dancing. I thought that people must have hated the music, but at one point everyone cheered. They liked it, but they weren’t dancing to it. Despite EDM being considered dance music, I realized that Black Box wasn’t a place that was known for its dance scene. I believe that if Black Box did have more of a dance scene, there would naturally be more diversity and it would be a more welcoming space to people of color. Overall it's a bit hard to walk up into a club where you hear black music sampled by white people for a white audience. It feels a bit exploitive. But I try to look past this because the music is such great quality. Despite this there are experiences here that make it harder and harder to look past. Almost every time I've been here, I've had a white person ask me, "Are you so and so?" And I have to explain to them that they must be thinking of a different black person. Recently I was minding my own business when another white person walked up to me and told me that I looked angry. In a venue where they largely play black music, I have so many uncomfortable experiences due to the lack of diversity and awareness. If Black Box fixed these issues I would give it 5 stars, but until then."
"Hands down one of the best indoor venues around!! From the absolutely insane sound system to the culture and community within the blackbox is king!! They always strive to bring in new edm from all over the world to keep things fresh! Must hit if you’re in Denver!"
"Excellent Dance club with chill staff for a cozy club in the armpit of Denver. Parking could be a challenge for some and being on the 13th Drag strip could be a safety issue but thankfully there is a barrier in front of the club. The sound quality is good but to me is just too loud. I'd love to see the dB's reduced in the main room especially or else I will be coming in with some noise cancelling headphones or just staying out in my car admiring the view."
"Fun Stop for sure. Friend of mine decided to take me here. Was a really good time. Good music and nice crowd. Staff was good. Enjoyed all the differnt rooms and all the cool art work. Good vibe."
"Such a fun show in a smaller venue. I also enjoyed the lounge which never quite got full."
