New in Denver This Week (November 9)

The spots that just opened their doors to our directory and the events that just hit the calendar: your Monday briefing on what's new in Denver.

Monday, which means it's time to catch you up on what's new in the directory and what's worth locking down tickets for before it sells out. November is shaping up to be a heavy one for shows, so don't sleep.

We've also got a wave of new listings this week, heavy on wellness and fitness spots if you're trying to get your act together before the holidays hit. Let's get into it.

The New Spots

Doubles Club (RiNo, 5/5, 36 reviews): Ping pong and drinks. Exercise disguised as the best hangout of your week.
