D-Note is perhaps one of the Denver area's most unique and exciting locations for a decidedly musical feel--the food specials are even named for musicians, albums and songs. The food is tasty, the music--which is occasionally of the Latin variety--is live and the prices are reasonable. This is one of the few venues that allow children under 18 for reduced cover charges. D-Note is available for special events and is a great spot for special occasions. Those at the other end of the Latin music experience who are interested in performing can sign up on the website to get booked at the venue.
