About 3 Kings Tavern
Welcome to HQ Denver, the reimagined space that began as 3 Kings Tavern. Located at 60 S Broadway in downtown Denver, HQ now operates as a multi-room live music venue with HQ Main and the basement HQ Underground. With a compact, high-energy environment and a two-room setup, it remains a favorite for rock, punk, and alternative acts. Whether you remember 3 Kings or are exploring HQ for the first time, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your night.
Note: 3 Kings closed in 2020 and the space was acquired and reopened as HQ Denver in June 2020 by the Oriental Theater owners. The venue sits near I-25 and Broadway, with convenient access via RTD and ample nearby dining and lodging options.
Seating at HQ Denver is primarily standing-room for most shows, with a compact stage that keeps the focus on the performers. The HQ Underground offers a basement space for additional configurations and events. For parking, riders and guests can use street parking or nearby public lots, with ride-share drop-off recommended for easy access. Transit options include proximity to the I-25 & Broadway corridor and nearby RTD light-rail access. After the show, take advantage of nearby downtown hotels such as The Brown Palace Hotel & Spa, The Oxford Hotel, and The Crawford Hotel (Union Station), all within walking distance. To ensure you don’t miss out, secure your seats or general admission passes early when your preferred performer hits the lineup.
Suggested local partners for a seamless stay and dining experience: The Brown Palace Hotel & Spa, The Oxford Hotel, The Crawford Hotel (Union Station), and nearby acclaimed eateries and casual spots aligned with the downtown Denver scene.
