More than a decade ago, Colorado led the movement to legalize marijuana<\/a>. But despite that, it has been slow to embrace lounges and other public businesses where smoking weed is legal. (It\u2019s a little known fact that if you\u2019re lighting up at Red Rocks Amphitheatre or in the wilderness, you\u2019re technically breaking the law, even though you\u2019re unlikely to get in trouble.)<\/p>\n

In recent years, though, Denver has permitted tour bus companies<\/a> and other so-called cannabis hospitality establishments to take root, so that tokers can have their pot and smoke it too. And because getting high is an age-old tradition, most of these businesses offer entertainment or events to make it feel like a special occasion.<\/p>\n

Here are six local consumption spaces where you don\u2019t need to be a VIP to enter the \u201cgreen\u201d room.<\/p>\n

Cirrus Social Club<\/h4>\n

Located on East Colfax Avenue, Cirrus Social Club aims to take nightlife to new heights<\/a> by curating a cannabis experience unlike anything else in Denver. Guests who book a table get to order both marijuana and munchies, which are then served to them similarly to a bar or restaurant. Offerings include flower that can be smoked from bongs or vaporized volcano bags and edibles such as gummies or beverage infusions. Bites range from charcuterie to finger sandwiches to ice cream sundaes. Not sure what to get? Your server \u2014 called a \u201cflight attendant\u201d \u2014 will help guide you through the menus.<\/p>\n

The accoutrements seek to match the elevated aesthetic of the lounge, which features floral decor and swanky touches like chandeliers above the tables. There\u2019s also a self-playing, baby pink piano to entertain guests, though it does host musicians from time to time. Other special events include drag shows, singles nights and networking events.<\/p>\n

Entry to Cirrus Social Club is free, unless there\u2019s a special event, and visitors pay for what they consume. A reservation is recommended, though not required.<\/p>\n

Tetra Lounge<\/h4>\n

So you\u2019ve heard of a beer garden, but have you ever experienced a cannabis garden<\/a>? Tetra Lounge in the River North Arts District is one of Denver\u2019s oldest social consumption spaces, having first opened in 2018. The concept has undergone several iterations since then, but it has remained a hub for the local community through regular events like game nights and joint-rolling classes. Stoner holiday 420 is always a scene with traditions like celebrity \u201csmoke and greets.\u201d Past guests include comedian T.J. Miller and rapper Method Man.<\/p>\n

Guests must bring their own weed, since Tetra Lounge does not sell it. However, the space does provide devices to use, from pipes and papers to volcano vaporizers and dab rigs. Spark up on the patio before entering the venue to enjoy an art show, fashion show or educational talk. On days where there isn\u2019t programming, Tetra Lounge has 12 televisions to entertain visitors.<\/p>\n

Entry to Tetra Lounge costs $10 for a one-hour pass, $20 for a day pass, $50 for a monthly pass, or $420 for a yearly membership.<\/p>\n

Pure Elevations Canna-Spa<\/h4>\n

Pure Elevations Canna-Spa is all about R&R \u2013 as in reefer and relaxation. The business offers massages, body treatments, nail and hair services all with a side of that sweet, sticky herb. Pure Elevations has a small dispensary counter where patrons purchase pre-rolled joints, edibles, and concentrates to enjoy on the spa\u2019s patio. Additionally, it offers infused cannabis beverages, \u201cterp tea\u201d that is steeped using marijuana flower, and snacks such as s\u2019mores kits that can be roasted over the outdoor fire pits.<\/p>\n

The experience here is not only about consumption here. Guests who book a massage have their choice of regular oil or oil infused with THC and CBD, which can help relax the muscles and reduce inflammation. (We still recommend getting a little stoned before you lay down<\/a> to enjoy your service.)<\/p>\n

Anyone who books a service is welcome to enter Pure Elevations for free, though the spa also sells day passes for $20 for folks who just want to chill on the consumption patio.<\/p>\n

The Coffee Joint<\/h4>\n

Opened in 2018, The Coffee Joint is the companion consumption space to a dispensary located next door. The venue hosts fun and educational events, such as crafting and game nights, where attendees can smoke vapes, eat edibles and do dabs. (Combustible flower is prohibited.) By the end of 2025, however, weed will no longer be permitted as The Coffee Joint seeks to get a psilocybin healing center license and offer opportunities for microdosing mushrooms<\/a>. The space already hosts mycology meet ups and plans to expand programming to focus more on psychedelic culture and education.<\/p>\n

Entry is typically free to The Coffee Joint, though sometimes it charges a cover for special events. Patrons must bring their own cannabis or purchase it from the 1136 Yuma Way dispensary located next door.<\/p>\n

The Patterson Inn (coming soon)<\/h4>\n

The Patterson Inn, a bed and breakfast in Denver\u2019s Capitol Hill neighborhood, will soon have a new amenity for guests who book a stay. Since 2021, the business has been working to open a cannabis lounge onsite<\/a> and this summer, that goal will finally come to fruition. The lounge will be located in the historic hotel\u2019s basement, an intimate space with room for up to 30 people, where people can bring their own marijuana and use devices to smoke it onsite. A proprietary ventilation system will ensure the venue doesn\u2019t get too smoky.<\/p>\n

The Patterson Inn\u2019s lounge will also double as a coffee shop serving espresso drinks, mocktails and other alcohol-free beverages. And because The Patterson Inn operates a restaurant onsite, guests will be able to order food to eat. The kitchen will launch brunch service for the first time as it opens the cannabis lounge.<\/p>\n

Lucky for Denverites, this lounge will be open to the public, so no need to have a room reservation. Entry will be free.<\/p>\n
