Denver was going pretty strong with your Type2 club the last few years, as someone whos done the Euroclub experience a(from Zurich to Barcelona, to Paris and London) the house and techno scene was working its way towards building a really awesome nightlife (lounge hangs on weekdays to clubs at night and warehouses for the after on weekends). Covid crushed it, but I think the internationalization of underground EDM is really pushing hard with the millennials and am excited to see what the next decade can bring as governments loosen their ties and find ways to allow even formerly "alt" attractions.

what about the mandatory closing hours in denver? I was very surprised that the US has so early closing hours (isn't it all about freedom over there?).

2 am the bars let out, however, the afters are private events and tend to be in the warehouse or events space district. These afters are like 100 people at most and have a pretty intimate vibe, you can find them on facebook groups, asking around at the club or less often through Resident Advisor.

Remember the bedrock of american social and legal culture is uptight religious british emigrants.

That’s state by state, and can vary.

For instance, in Alabama of all places, private members only clubs can serve as late as they want.

I knew of one dive bar/rock club where membership we $5/yr. they stayed open until 3am most nights, and would stay open 24hrs from Thiraday down to around noon on Monday
