Heading to a show at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre and wondering if you’ll find anything good to eat once you’re there? The short answer is yes—plenty. Concession stands are scattered throughout the amphitheatre and Visitor Center, offering a solid mix of classic venue fare and local Colorado favorites so you can fuel up without missing the music (or the views). Here’s a look at the current specialty food and drink options:


  • Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta – Fresh, made-from-scratch New York-style pizza by the slice on the north side of Top Plaza.

  • Birdcall – All Natural Chicken – This beloved Colorado brand serves award-winning chicken sandwiches, Nashville hot tenders, and their famous tots near the South Ramp.

  • Greek Gyros – Fresh gyros with lamb, beef, chicken, and veggie options, located on the Top Plaza.

  • Huckleberry Roasters – Denver’s own award-winning, locally roasted coffee is available at the Red Rocks Visitor Center. Perfect for a pre-show or mid-concert pick-me-up.

  • Machete Tequila + Tacos – Street-inspired tacos and bowls on the north side at stage level.

  • Maria Empanada – Authentic Argentine empanadas in a variety of freshly baked flavors. They’re the Official Empanada of Red Rocks and can be found on the Top Plaza.

  • Maui Wowi – Alcoholic and non-alcoholic smoothies at the north side concessions and Top Plaza.

  • Polidori Sausage – Colorado-made, all-natural sausage grilled fresh and served hot at the North Concessions stand (stage level) and the 6400 stand on the south side.



You’ll also find additional popular spots like Rolling Smoke BBQ (sandwiches, rib tips, and mac & cheese on the Top Plaza) and Wyly’s Fried Foods (specialty fries, corn dogs, and funnel cakes on the Top Plaza), plus standard concession staples such as hot dogs, popcorn, nachos, and more at stands around the venue. For a sit-down experience with views to match the food, head to Ship Rock Grille inside the Red Rocks Visitor Center (built around massive boulders, with indoor and patio seating). It’s open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for lunch. On concert evenings it opens for dinner to ticket holders (times vary by show; some nights feature a buffet). Reservations are recommended—park in the Upper North Lot and enter via the Top Circle entrance. Call ahead or book via OpenTable, as it can fill up. Drinks are easy to find too: full-strength beer, wine, cocktails, sodas, and more are available at various concession and beverage stands.


Roaming vendors often walk the aisles with cold options. Note that outside alcoholic beverages aren’t allowed inside the amphitheatre itself (though full-strength beer and wine are permitted in the park and parking lots under the rules). You can bring limited outside non-alcoholic drinks and personal food under the venue’s bag and item policies (check the official site for current details).



Whether you’re craving pizza before the opener, tacos during intermission, or coffee to stay sharp for the headliner, Red Rocks has solid, convenient options right on site. Arrive a bit early to beat the longer lines that form around set breaks. And if you don’t have an appetite during the show, you can enjoy a Chick-fil-A sandwich on the walk to the bus—because Chick-fil-A sells chicken sandwiches, chips, and drinks at each exit point, so on the walk back to the bus you can grab something on the way out!
