Tetra has been a fixture of Denver’s cannabis scene since 2018, when it opened as a private club before the state even had hospitality licenses to give it. These days it runs as a licensed bring-your-own lounge in the RiNo Art District — the come-as-you-are counterpoint to a polished, sales-driven room like Cirrus.
The model is simple: bring your own cannabis and Tetra supplies the rest. Complimentary rolling papers, grinders and rolling trays, plus bongs and Puff Co vaporizers for on-site use, so you can walk in empty-handed on the gear front. Inside is industrial-chic with TVs and movies going; outside is the draw — an outdoor garden with comfortable seating, fire pits, and a stage, reimagined as a booze-free alternative to a beer garden. Weekends bring a live DJ, and there’s a steady calendar of cannabis-friendly events during the week.
A couple of things to know: like all Colorado hospitality lounges it’s alcohol-free, and because it’s BYO there’s no product for sale on site — you can bring your own coffee and food too. Entry runs a low day-pass fee, which makes it one of the more affordable ways to consume publicly in the city.
