Grizzly Rose will host ‘Dress Up Like Dolly’ night August 27

If throwing on a blonde wig and possibly stuffing your shirt a bit helps with your grief, then the Grizzly Rose has the perfect event for you Thursday night. The legendary Denver honky-tonk is hosting a “Dress Up Like Dolly” night as part of their weekly Ladies Night, paying tribute to the queen of country music herself, Dolly Parton.

Ladies Night at the Grizzly Rose is already one of the best deals in Denver’s nightlife, doors open at 6 p.m., it’s 21+ with a $20 cover, and ladies drink free well and draft drinks from 8 p.m. to midnight. Now add a room full of people in blonde wigs, rhinestones and denim, and you’ve got yourself the most fun Thursday night in the city. Whether you go full “9 to 5” Dolly, “Jolene” Dolly, “Coat of Many Colors” Dolly or just throw on some fringe and commit to the energy, the Grizzly Rose is encouraging everyone to channel their inner queen of country.

Dolly Parton is one of the most beloved figures in music history, and in Colorado, where country runs deep, a night dedicated to her just makes sense. The Grizzly Rose has been a cornerstone of Denver’s country scene for decades, with its massive dance floor, mechanical bull and a lineup of live music and themed nights that keep it packed all week. If you’ve never been for a Thursday Ladies Night, this is the one to start with. And if you’ve been before, you already know, but this time, bring the wig.
