Keep your finger on the pulse of the Denver nightlife with regular visits to La Rumba, the Golden Triangle dance club that has frequently updated its image and event schedule to remain on the cutting edge of the local scene. Already established as one of the Front Range's swankiest spots for rump-shaking, La Rumba received a makeover in early 2004, adding an advanced digital light system and a front-room lounge alongside its big dance floor.

The calendar encompasses a range of themes, with a special emphasis on Latin-flavored dance, plus hip-hop, disco, and Top 40, with regular appearances by a host of local talent that includes big-name DJs, go-go dancers and La Rumba's house band, Conjunto Colores. Opened in 1997 as 9th Avenue West, La Rumba is part of a nightlife empire, owned by the entrepreneurial team behind Nobody in Particular Presents, Mezcal and the Bluebird Theater. -- Konstantine Simakis (Photo: Konstantine Simakis)
