Midweek in Denver: Tonight & Tomorrow (July 6)

Look, the weekend already has its plans locked in, but tonight and tomorrow? Wide open, and honestly stacked. Denver's doing its best impression of a Friday twice this week, and skipping it because it's "just Monday" is the kind of thinking that gets you a boring July.

Here's what's actually worth rearranging your evening for.

Tonight

Eric Church, 7:30pm, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Corey Kent opens, the Chief headlines, and you're at Red Rocks on a Wednesday like it's nothing. That's the whole pitch.

Dr. Gabba - Red Potion Tour, 9pm, Meow Wolf Denver. A late pop set inside the weirdest, most immersive room in the city, go for the music, stay because you're already lost in Meow Wolf.

Cerebral Brewing Run Club, 6pm, Cerebral Brewing, 1477 Monroe St. Free social run, cold beer waiting at the finish line. Earn the Wednesday.

Odell Brewing Run Club, 6:30pm, Odell Brewing RiNo, 2945 Larimer St. Same idea, RiNo edition, a loop through the neighborhood and a taproom to land in.

Tomorrow

Grace Potter w/ Emily Brimlow, 6:30pm, Denver Botanic Gardens. A summer-evening show among the gardens, soulful, sceney, and worth the trek even on a Thursday.

Eric Church, 7:30pm, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Night two, this time with 49 Winchester. If you missed Wednesday, here's your redo.

Founders & Friends: Welcome to Denver, 4pm, ID345, 3960 High St. The first-Tuesday-of-the-month staple (running this week) for anyone circling the Denver startup scene, good people, no pitch decks required.

Geeks Who Drink Trivia, 8pm, Lowry Beer Garden. Seven rounds, a patio, free entry, teams up to six, bring your smartest friends and let the rest of us lose gracefully.

New Friends Denver, Dog-Friendly Taco Tuesday, 7pm, Chula's on Broadway. $3 BOGO tacos, cheap margs, your dog as a wingman, an easy way to turn a Thursday into new contacts.

Dungeons and Dragons and Drafts, 6pm, Copper Kettle Brewing Co. Get matched into a table, roll some dice, drink some beer, zero prior commitment required.

Denver Run Club - Social Run, 6pm, Ratio Beerworks. A free 5K with drinks waiting at the end, the most efficient way to feel good about your Thursday.
