History

The Oriental Theater was built in 1927 and originally started off showcasing movie films. In 1960, the owners decided to put in new seats and carpet to attract customers but due to the lack of response the theater had to close.

After 45 years of inactivity, it was purchased by Scott Labarbera, in 2005, and turned into a live music venue. Labarbera was owner from 2005 and sold to Jim Norris and 3 Kings Tavern Entertainment in 2009. In 2011, Scott Labarbera, Andy Bercaw and Lara Moore bought back the theater but the opening was shortly lived. They were forced to shut down for renovation to the building due to part of the structure almost falling on concert goers during an event. In 2012, after the much needed fixes and help of investors, the venue was re-opened. Presently the theater host's some of Denver's largest events with local and national acts and has the same owner.
