This is old Denver in the best way. The University Club sits in a grand 1890s building on Sherman Street, all wood paneling, high ceilings, and the kind of quiet that feels earned rather than empty. It's a members club, so you're not just walking in off the street, but if you've got a membership or know someone who does, it's worth it. Think proper dining rooms, a library that actually gets used, squash courts, and event spaces that host everything from wedding receptions to holiday parties. The crowd skews established: lawyers, doctors, longtime Denver families, people who like tradition and don't mind dressing for dinner. It's less about scene and more about substance. If you want a taste of Denver before it got loud, this is it.
