Top-6 of music shops in Holly Hills

They have saved me many times with last minute rehearsal items I have needed!

Great local shop with boutique effect pedals, affordable guitars/amps, and accessories. I’ve purchased a few pedals, and they’ve always been helpful and friendly. Nondescript building between Broadway and Santa Fe (easy drive in Denver).

Ike and Dylan are great fellers, they have a nice selection of goodies that you dont find at the big box stores (Reverend, G&L). Very reasonable prices and just very pleasureable people to deal with – support your local music shop! Neat place, lotsa pedals, good selection of axes, and they keep plenty of stools, cords and amps handy for test drives!

First Visit. Nice small shop, great pedal selection and some nice guitar brands (Reverend, G&L among others). Really friendly folks.

Pretty good store with decent prices

Great place

Overly expensive and also lots of homeless people hanging outside on the street near by. It’s a dump.

These guys are great! I just bought a left handed guitar. They were very professional and gave great advice for care and maintenance. I would totally go back again for any service or music product I need!

approach with respect and it will be returned to you

I’ve purchased two guitars from this store. This shop has been my first experience interacting with a pawn shop owner that possesses a sense of integrity. I purchased a guitar and asked to purchase new strings as well, and was informed that the guitar had already received new strings and didn’t need new ones- to the potential loss of profits for them. I bought the strings anyways. If you are not familiar or comfortable with these types of shops, I would recommend going here.

Full of rare/vintage/collector’s items, but expensive. And definitely not the place to haggle. More of a novelty type place if you’re a casual musician instead of a collector.

great store great prices. perfect place to get a genuine and unique instrument. prices aren’t final, and they are ok with negotiating. service there can somedays be a little agrivated but will get it done. probably my favorite place in denver to get a guitar

This is the local pawn shop for your instrumental needs. Great music items

Awful experience.

Guitars are just broken. Never think about buying anything in this store. Prices are 200% what they should be.

I think of this place everytime i have a instrument to sell unfortunately every time i go here i leave let down with the rudeness of the unprofessional arrogant long hair with glasses dweeb behind counter. He cuts people off doesnt answer questions walks away like he doesnt have time. He doesnt realize that i am just trying to save instruments from getting tossed and i am willing to donate today was a yamaha yp40 electric keyboard in excellent condition and he wouldnt even let me plug in to test and hear it b4 telling me its not for them end of conversation. What about someone else that is starting or broke? Nope get out . A true musician would appreciate the piece and a true human would appreciate what i do. Guess this is going back to dumpster. What a shame. Not the 1st time this has hAppened here the 6th time and definatly the last. I will tell everyone not to waste time or $ at this business until rude boy is gone .

Terrible price quoting done by a rude human being. I went in to price out an instrument and was greeted by two respectful people. The man pricing my instrument didn’t even grant me the respect of looking at me while I tried to negotiate a price. I will NOT be recommending this place for future customers. It takes such little effort to treat someone like a person, nevermind the bogus quote I received.

I’ve had nothing but fun and great learning experiences at Swallow Hill Yale Music School. The front desk has been responsive and easy to work with. I feel lucky to have such opportunities.

Great vibe!

We have been doing lessons on and off at swallow hill for years. They do a nice job with kids and guitar, signing up for piano and drums. Sizable indoor space with many classrooms inside a former church.

Great concert! Love seeing Dakora Blonde again. ❤
Realize these are strange times, but having people standing outside in winter cold was not good. There must be a better way to handle checking in audience. And parking, as always, is a challenge.

Refurbished church turned into a music venue. Not a massive amount of seating, so get there early for popular groups/ performers. Pretty good acoustics. The stage is elevated, so most seats have a decent view. Still have to lean to see some performers at times. Swallow Hill is a non-profit group that does music lessons, events, and performances through state arts funding. Enough street parking in surrounding area to not walk far to get there. Not my favorite venue ever, but also not my least favorite. Worthwhile attending shows there!

Solid local spot to take music lessons. I took beginner violin private lessons. I had a great experience. Never been for a concert but heard those are great too.

Terrible parking situation, as a resident of s Lincoln st it is vary frustrating to have to park down the street and around the corner for my car to be broken into after a long day at work. Know the size of your lot and limit your tickets, your customers have no respect for the residents that live here.

8/18/23 still no attempt to keep patrons parked appropriately, after a long day at work my street is filled with cars that don’t live here. So disappointing shallow hill music. Shame, shame, shame.

You have the ability to limit your tickets and you choose to take your neighbors for granted, completely unprofessional and rude.

I signed up for a family membership in September 2013 for a Cello class that was supposed to start in October. The class ended up being cancelled for lack of participants but I was NEVER notified. Not until I actually changed my schedule at work, rented the instrument and showed up for my first class was I informed that there was NO class. I then inquired about private instruction through the school as I was determined. I was then instructed to research the email of the instructor who would have held the class that was canceled but she was booked so possibly another instructor or a credit twords another class? Translation: I was told I needed to pretty much hunt down my own private teacher which might not even be available for a lesson.
It was a very very frustrating experience I truly feel could have been accommodated with an alternative. Which respectfully should have been someone from the school personally telling me the class had been cancled and then helping me to organize a private lesson! Especially for something that was supposed to not only be fun and healthy but an experience I’m missing out on!
Hoping another class would come available, I sat on a credit for the Cello class hoping for another but by January, after leaving several messages. I still had no response from anyone regarding a Cello lesson.
I then called again this time leaving a message requesting information regarding student classes thinking I’d have better luck.
Then again I called to inquire about the summer music program at the new Lowry location for my 8 year old daughter. Still nothing, No information or return phone calls from either location!

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY I PAID FOR A FAMILY MEMBERSHIP TO A SCHOOL THAT CAN NOT ACCOMIDATE THE CLASSES THEY POST ON A SCHEDULE THEY SEND OUT TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY! I ALSO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BOTH LOCATIONS HAVE DROPPED THE BALL WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONALLY COMMUNICATING TO THIS MEMBER WHAT IS AND IS NOT AVAILABLE! And respectfully, assisting me with finding an alternative when they can not accommodate something I PAID FOR should not be a frustrating nightmare!

I finally had to request a refund. They had no problem getting back to me with regards to that!

Pretty disappointed with my experience and the lack of follow up and communication Swallow Hill! It wasn’t worth my small amount of free time, the stress or the $$$. I wouldn’t recommend starting or renewing a membership to a place I can’t even attend a scheduled paid class in, nor get the respect of a little help finding an alternative class which should have been private instruction through the school!
Even with the free concerts. As much as I enjoy listening to music and instructions, the point was to help my family LEARN!
We have walked away from this experience with NO classes no communication and a membership that isn’t worth any value or up to standing for it’s purpose!

Great to see you guys up and running! Pease remind your patrons that street parking is by permit only. They seem to not see the giant parking lot that’s just for them.

Good prices and selection – friendly staff

I love this liquor store They have almost everything I want. They should get some frozen margaritas

Abe is the best, always super friendly and takes care of his customers even remembers what they buy and offers faster customer service because of it. I feel like when I go there it’s partially to see how he’s doing and say what’s up.

..real good place and always a place for good customer service .. would recommend

New people who work there

It’s okay sometimes the cashier is really nice but most of the time he’s a grump. I only go there cause it’s so close to home.

I thought the staff at this store were friendly but when had a simple issue that my points disappeared that would probably have saved $2 at most I was treated very nasty. And when I tried to go in patch things up refused so serve. But I’m glad I don’t need to be treated so poorly of a little mistake on their part. SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE! Sad the quality has become so poor!

Usual check out lady not there. New employee did Not know how to use debit/credit machine. Got charged Twice on my card and it has not been reversed yet.
There are 3 liquor stores on S. Holly St. I will shop at Virginia Village Liquors from now on.

Went in 15 to midnight on friday and the man said they were closed and closed at midnight. Ive been im once before that and the same man was working amd was very impatient. I went in for patron and was in and out in 5. No reason to be upset

Wonderful store with great selection and staff.

Lovely people! We really appreciated the low pressure atmosphere that made it easier to explore our options and pick the right piano for our family and in our budget. Highly recommend!

Great experience piano shopping. I decided as a 46 year old adult that I wanted to learn to play piano. We found a wonderful piano thanks to Michelle and Angie and their expertise. The process was smooth and easy with delivery just days later. I love their mission with their business and loved knowing I was helping. A year later not only had I learned to play I was in love with playing and used their trade up plan to upgrade to an even better piano. I am now happily playing daily on my beautiful forever piano and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!!

Owner doesn’t get customer service

Bought a piano and had issues shortly after. They sent a tech to my house to assess the situation, but never got back to me. Ended up having to fix it by paying out of pocket.

Nice guys running the shop today. More than willing to help find stuff and liked to talk about guitars which was cool.

I went in to buy an acoustic guitar at the Guitar Hut in Lafayette, CO, and it was a delight. There, I was greeted by Evan, who immediately approached me & help me out. His excitement and knowledge about guitars impressed me, the novice guitar player. Evan briefly (the briefness was unfortunate because it was awesome hearing him riff) demoed a few of the acoustics they had up for sale, and spoke on a few others, eventually selling me on a new Washburn guitar, the AF5K-A-U model. He offered me tips of guitar wisdom way beyond my years of guitar knowledge, on top of that, he offered me a free lesson where I could come in and learn from one of their music professionals, there in their store off of Arapahoe, and my guitar even came in a beautiful Washburn case. Thank you SO MUCH, Evan for all of your help with this beautiful guitar, and a wonderful Guitar Hut experience. 10/10 recommend to a friend & anyone with interest in Guitars.

super nice folks, always very helpful.

I had these guys take a look at a signature bass of mine. It had some electrical problems going on with it that were a bit out of their knowledge base but Evan is great guy. Very honest and very hard working. I will return with any other problems I have in the future and I would recommend them. Their pricing is very fair and they are willing to help out customers any way they can.

I called to sign my boys up for guitar lessons and had a few options worked out and was told I would be called back to confirm which times worked. I never heard back. Then, when I called back to confirm options, I was told they didn’t have any of my information logged and there were no longer any time slots available for lessons.
Everyone I have met there seems very nice, but very poorly organized.
