About Denver Five Points
The Denver Five Points neighborhood, also known as the "Harlem of the West," is a historic and culturally rich area located in the heart of Denver. Known for its African American heritage, Five Points has played a significant role in the city's history and continues to be a vibrant community today. The neighborhood is home to a diverse array of shops, restaurants, and businesses, as well as a number of landmarks and cultural institutions. These include the Rossonian Hotel, which was a popular jazz venue in the 1920s and 30s, the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library, and the Five Points Plaza, which features a mural honoring the neighborhood's history and culture. The Five Points neighborhood is also home to a number of festivals and events throughout the year, celebrating the contributions of the African American community to Denver's history and culture.
The Day Begins
The day begins early with enthusiasm for many coworking space members, as they arrive at the space between 8 and 9:00 AM to get a head start on an exciting work week full of innovation, creation, networking, and even weekly happy hours. The space feels irresistible as a bustling energy begins to fill the air - something notably absent for those used to working in traditional office space or from home offices. The space is smaller and more intimate than most coworking sites, so you can’t help but feel connected. Members are excited to see their friends and colleagues while setting up their laptops and grabbing a fresh coffee from the lounge.
Settling In
As the morning progresses, members immerse themselves deeper into their work, taking advantage of the various amenities that a coworking space has to offer. Some members choose to work in a private office, while others engage in working sessions in the shared flex space. Some members prefer to work in a more relaxed environment, such as a lounge area or a quiet nook - or even changing it up throughout the day - creating some variety and fresh perspective during their work week.
For those who need a break from their work as the lunch time jitters begin to settle in, Venture X - Denver Five Points offers a variety of amenities that members are free to use! These may include heading up to the building's gym for a midday workout, participating in onsite yoga at River Yoga studio, or playing a game of pool in the clubhouse while taking in refreshing rooftop air and spectacular mountain and downtown city views.
Grabbing Lunch
The best time of the day has finally arrived - it’s lunch time! After a productive morning, members have worked up a hearty appetite.The Denver Five Points neighborhood offers a diverse array of options for grabbing lunch. Nearby options seem endless considering proximity to all that downtown Denver and Five Points bustling arts district, RiNo, have to offer. But no need to venture beyond a block or two here. Great sandwiches are readily available at Curtis Park Delicatessen, Dukes Good Sandwiches and Birdcall. Of course, if your day didn’t start with the best bagel in Denver, then Rosenbergs Bagels and Delicatessen is a popular lunch destination too. Famous Original J’s Pizza, and their east coast-style pies, is always a feel good hit. Is a mid-day pastry or quiche with a relaxing cup a tea more your thing? TeaLee’s Teahouse has got you covered.
With so many options to choose from, there's something for everyone in the Downtown Denver Five Points neighborhood.

All of our spaces are thoughtful designed, and our Five Points location is no exception - providing variation in form and function to help keep you stimulated and focused - no matter the time of day.
With original art on every wall that makes you feel like you’re walking around the Louvre (ok, maybe not quite…), fresh coffee throughout the day and beer on tap for weekly happy hours along with and lounging areas that make you feel like you’re sitting in a boutique hotel, inspiration and productivity seem to never dwindle, even after a tasty meal.
