The Soiled Dove Underground is proud to have ListenUp® as a partner to bring you the best sound in town! Locally owned and nationally known, ListenUp is the western region's most trusted source of audio, video and smart home systems since 1972.

In 1972, Walt Stinson and Steve Weiner founded ListenUp with one goal in mind: to offer the very best in sound. Over the years that goal has grown to include providing the finest video and home automation, as well. From its modest roots as a small storefront in a Denver residential neighborhood to a company with over 100 employees and stores in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Albuquerque and Portland, ListenUp has established a reputation for being at the forefront of the home entertainment revolution. Here’s a brief look at ListenUp’s unique history…

You hear a lot of talk about “custom” systems in the A/V world these days. Talk to ListenUp co-founders Walt Stinson and Steven Weiner about the history of the company, and you’ll find out that ListenUp was custom before custom was cool. “From the very beginning we delivered and set up the systems we sold, and made sure they were properly integrated into the room,” says Steven. “We were tremendously enthusiastic about the gear – and, more importantly, the music – and we wanted to make sure everything got set up right so it would sound right. We knew if we offered this level of attention and people got a superior experience from their systems, they would become repeat customers.”

So this idea of service is not merely a marketing buzzword, but the core component of ListenUp’s philosophy. Call it maximum service (that’s two marketing buzzwords). As Walt says, “To put it simply, our goal is to create loyal and enthusiastic customers. From staying ahead of the latest technologies and trends to hiring and retaining the people best qualified to take care of our clients, we are totally focused on that goal.” ListenUp’s basic philosophy hasn’t ever changed, but its capabilities certainly have. Let’s take a look at how one small store grew to become one of the most influential independent electronics dealers in the country.

The Soiled Dove Underground is in a state-of-the-art building in the heart of the Lowry Landmark Urban Community. Long-heralded as one of Denver's premier locations to see a concert, the Soiled Dove has a reputation for bringing quality acts to Denver. The room is configured with three levels of tiered seating arranged in a semicircle facing the stage and generous dance floor. With each seat no more than 45 feet from the stage, the Dove is Denver’s intimate concert experience. Appetizers & cocktails are available to enjoy during shows. In addition to live music performances, the venue is also known as a unique space for large private events.

Free parking for Tavern guests is available behind the building.

Lowry Neighborhood
This award-winning mixed-use development district is a model community for urban-infill projects across the country. Lowry was, for many years, a working Air Force base. Wanting to create a place to live, learn, work and play, developers transformed the area into a forward-thinking, mixed-use, diverse community that keeps the culture and excitement of the city close at hand.

What is the seating arrangement for
The Soiled Dove Underground?

We implement a seating structure designed to let patrons choose their seat when purchasing tickets to any show. Guests can choose seats in three different sections, Gold (pit/front stage), Silver (reserved drink rail) and Bronze (main level and upper tables & drink rail sections). When purchasing tickets to any of our events, patrons can choose the section in which they desire to sit and see exactly where those seats will be before ever entering the venue.

The Gold and Bronze seating sections feature cocktail table seating with four seats at each table. The Bronze Upper seating also features drink rail seating for fantastic unobstructed views of the stage. In our Silver section, we offer guests an eye level view of the stage seated along a drink rail that spans the length of the stage. When purchasing tickets, click the “Seating Chart” button to view the venue seating layout for your show (there are a few different seating arrangements). To view a table layout of seats, please see below.

Occasionally, we will sell a show as General Admission, on these shows we will sell the seats on the drink rail that surrounds the pit as Reserved. You will not be assigned a seat, and seating is still based on a first come, first served basis, but you will be guaranteed a seat on that rail. On these shows, reserved seating will be limited to 34 seats, so get your tickets early!

***Please be aware that if you are purchasing seats as a couple, you may be seated with other patrons.***
