El Potrero Night Club - Glendale, Colorado

In my entire life, I have never had such a terrible experience at a bar as I did at this place. From the moment we arrived, everything was a disaster. First, the security guards at the entrance were unbelievably rude and abusive, acting with an arrogant and completely unprofessional attitude. They didn’t just seem to enjoy mistreating customers—they made it their mission.

After dealing with that unpleasant welcome, we encountered the first ridiculous surprise of the night: a $30, 40 and 50 cover charge. Why? I have no idea, because this place is absolutely not worth it. It’s not a high-end club, not even close. It’s a rundown dive bar with filthy facilities and bathrooms that look like something out of a horror movie. The dirt, the terrible smell, and the obvious lack of maintenance make stepping inside a disgusting experience.

As for the atmosphere, the drag show is the only somewhat redeeming aspect. It’s entertaining at first, but after 30 minutes, it becomes repetitive and boring. There’s no variety, no originality—just the same thing over and over. The music doesn’t help either: it’s monotonous, repetitive, and after a while, it becomes unbearable.

But the worst part of all was the outrageous overcharging. I ordered two buckets of beer at $40 each, only to check my account the next day and find out I had been charged twice. When I realized the mistake, I tried to contact the bar multiple times, but, as expected from such a poorly managed place, I never got a response. They basically stole my money and didn’t even have the decency to acknowledge it.

All my friends and I wanted was to have a good time, but with everything that happened, it was impossible. There are so many better places to go out without having to deal with rude staff, ridiculous prices, boring music, and fraudulent charges. I do not recommend this place under any circumstances. In fact, if you’re even considering going, do yourself a favor and choose literally any other bar.

We’re from out of town and decided to visit an after hours after the club. We pulled up there was limited parking and security was nice enough to help us park. The line was pretty long it was freezing. We waited 30 minutes because it was an extra twenty to not wait as in vip this was on top of the $40 cover. So we get inside the club,
It was standard younger, vibe, kind of crowded. It was hard to find things and get attention at the bar, but the nicest security service team member help us. His name was Rafael G. I can’t pronounce his last name, but he showed us where the bathrooms were. He showed us to some extra seating space upstairs and help us really get comfortable and he told us about. He was really nice. Overall, it was a decent night

Was lied to about entry fee they said it was 35$ and ended up charging me 50$ I tried to dispute but was denied, literally after they charged me I walked out. The management is extremely predatory towards patrons and their staff, security is mediocre at best, drinks are served in the smallest plastic cups possible, the place stinks, the building is old. Only plus is the patrons and music. Only reason people go there is because they’re the only place that’s open past 2am, the mayor has super shady business dealings here. And yeah won’t ever go back!

Went there last weekend for the first time with my girl and her friend. From what I've heard before, this place is queer friendly. When I stepped foot inside that place, I swear it was just a bunch of cis men staring at me and my girl like we were a piece of meat. I've been to a straight-up gay club (majorly gay men presenting), and they definitely did not look at us like that. I did not feel safe there as a woman at all!

That place is a mess. I went there a couple of times with a friend, and the security staff was rude on several occasions. It’s supposed to be an LGBT-friendly place, but it really doesn’t feel like it. Either the staff needs some training on how to deal with people from our community, or they need to be more careful about making inappropriate comments regarding gender or different orientations. The $50 is absolutely not justified. It’s definitely a place I wouldn’t go back to.

$50 to enter and they can’t keep the restroom open and in service. This place is just a scam for its price. Yes it’s one of the only places open after 2, but only come here if you’re desperate to see some gente naca. I mean how are you going to charge so much for entry, but can’t keep the restee running? Why only one? Bad place to go to, I already spent the $50 to get in, but save yourself the money and go literally to any other speak easy open late because this place is TRASH.

I will be giving this place one star, my experience made me feel uncomfortable and it just overall made me feel disgusted. I am a transgender woman and I haven't been to a gay bar in years so I decided to check this one out since it was near my area, once I walked in I was greeted with dirty looks and many eyes staring at me. I immediately felt uncomfortable and I wondered if I was the issue there or the people that day were just straight up rude, I didn't want to leave since I didn't want to be rude. it wasn't until 1AM when I decided to just leave since I was getting dirty looks throughout the night and I assumed I was making people uncomfortable. I won't be coming back to this establishment.

Had a blast here. Awesome drag shows and the people were great. This was one of 4 clubs I attend while visiting Denver for Gay Pride. Denver is so much fun! Thank you!
