Where to Find Bar Bands in the Springs Tonight
The Springs' bar-music scene runs deeper than most people expect — Irish pubs with nightly sessions, historic roadhouses, brewery stages, and dive bars booking punk and country in equal measure. Most of these shows are free.
Jack Quinn's Irish Pub anchors downtown with traditional Irish sessions and bands several nights a week. A few blocks away, Lulu's Downtown books touring indie, jazz, and songwriter shows in a proper listening room, and Tokki adds regular live sets to its cocktail program.
Vultures is the Springs' long-running rock club on the north end. Black Sheep is the touring-band workhorse — punk, metal, and indie almost nightly. For something scrappier, What's Left Records hosts in-store shows from local and touring DIY acts.
The Navajo Hogan — the iconic log roadhouse on North Nevada — is booking big bands, blues, and jazz again after its 2026 reopening. Mother Muff's in Old Colorado City runs live music weekly, and Boot Barn Hall covers the country-and-tribute end of the spectrum.
Red Leg Brewing puts local acts on its stage most weekends, and Sunshine Studios Live splits the difference between venue and hangout with a full calendar of rock and EDM.
