A. Nissi's, pronounced “nee-sees,” is an ancient Hebrew word from the Bible which means "Banner"-- from "Jehovah Nissi" -- meaning literally, "The Lord my Banner."
Q. What is Bridgetown?
A. Bridgetown is the building that is home to Nissi's on the first floor and The Creative Alliance, a strategic marketing and public relations firm, on the second floor.
Q. What kind of music does Nissi's have?
A. We feature a variety of musical genres from a cappella to blues, bluegrass, jazz, comedy, sing alongs, R&B, world, acoustic, to classic rock and standards. You can hear samples of Nissi’s music on the homepage and on each of the individual artist’s bio pages. The type of artists and music we feature will mostly reflect our customers' preferences as we continue to learn what they enjoy.
Q. Will I feel comfortable being at Nissi's?
A. This is where we shine. We are not a loud college bar, a standing-only club, or a hotel lobby. Nissi's was designed to serve people who want to enjoy music and entertainment in a relaxing, yet vibrant supper club environment. Everyone gets a great seat, and can take a whirl on our dance floor.
Q. How much does Nissi's charge for their live entertainment?
A.
Cover charges average only about the price of a movie. Order online in advance and save a couple of dollars per ticket. There is always a cover charge for the main act, which plays on stage from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30–10:00 p.m. Seating is usually set in advance to ensure every ticket buyer gets a seat. When you order your tickets, mention you will be dining with us and we'll do our best to get you priority seating.
Q. Can I buy tickets at the door or by phone?
A. Yes, Tuesday – Sunday after 4pm. You can also call for seating availability the day of the show after 4 p.m. at 303-665-2757. We do not take reservations, and will only hold a ticket holder's seats until 30 minutes after showtime. Plan in advance and save money by buying online. Tickets are non-refundable.
Q. Do you serve food?
A.
Do we ever! Nissi's is known for its award-winning, chef-prepared small plates cuisine or “tapas,” which is smaller portions of tasty food, at smaller prices. We also serve special entrees. Happy Hour starts at 4:30 p.m. and dinner is served throughout the evening. Please support Nissi's by having dinner with us.
Q. Can I eat dinner before and during an evening performance?
A.
Yes. In fact, our menu was designed with that in mind. You can order throughout the evening.
Q. What if I am having dinner and don't want to watch the show?
A.
You can always dine in our front room café or adjacent restaurant from 4:30 p.m. throughout the evening, without tickets for a show.
Q. Can we brings kids to Nissi's?
A. Use good judgment. This is an adult venue. Please do not bring children under age 18 unless we have a student concert or midweek jazz concert, as many people come to Nissi's to enjoy a date night, or to spend a night away from the kids. Please be considerate of others.
If you have questions about which shows are appropriate please call 303-665-2757
How do I know what is being planned and who will be playing?
A. This website is the best way to stay abreast of our popular shows. Most of our performers are booked well in advance, so we recommend purchasing tickets early. You can also sign up to get our Nissi's Events Guide newspaper that comes out each month, and/or email updates, which are delivered weekly. Lastly, our front doors and our bistro plasma screens will have a schedule showing what’s happening at Nissi’s.
Q. Does Nissi's give back to the community?
A.
Yes. Nissi's is truly a gathering place for the entire community, where people can come and enjoy a variety of wonderful entertainment acts and great food. Nissi's gives back by providing a good place for teens and others to work and learn music, sound, video, recording, and art. Nissi's also features high school jazz concerts as fundraisers and other non-profit promotions and events.
Q. How do I find out about booking business meetings or having private parties Nissi's?
