On a recent date night, TJ and I headed to Nocturne Jazz and Supper Club in Denver’s Rino neighborhood. We were both able to quickly see this would become one of our favorite date nightspots. Live jazz plays Wednesday through Sunday and is the only venue in Colorado that features jazz exclusively. We made a reservation for the dinner and show, which features an outstanding 3-course dinner with wine pairings. Menu items incorporate items from organic ranchers and front range farmers. Owners, and husband and wife team, Nicole and Scott tell us their vision for Nocturne was having both the food and beverage component as well as the music top notch- which clearly came to fruition. We enjoyed every moment from the food and drinks to the music. This type of dinner and show is one we recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and romantic date night experience.
