Where Music Comes to Life
Fort Collins is fast becoming a premier music destination, and at the heart of its vibrant scene is Magic Rat—a live music bar and lounge inside The Elizabeth Hotel, offering intimate, one-of-a-kind performances.
Step beyond the oversized, tufted green leather pocket doors, a nod to the golden age of glamorous theaters, and enter a space designed for pure musical immersion. A grand fireplace, adorned with vibrant green glazed tiles, sets the mood, while the centrally located wood stage ensures that every seat is the best in the house. Guests can sink into a plush mix of Art Deco-inspired lounge chairs, serpentine yellow banquettes, and wood-backed leather sofas, creating intimate nooks perfect for date nights, lively gatherings, and spontaneous musical moments.
Breaking away from the traditional hotel bar experience, Magic Rat embraces an offbeat, neighborhood vibe—a welcoming retreat for both locals and travelers looking to experience Fort Collins’ dynamic live music culture.

Walk beyond the oversized green leather tufted pocket doors that harken back to the heyday of glamorous theatres, the space beckons guests with large fireplace with vibrant green glazed tiles, and an intimate wood stage that is centrally located.
A plush mix of seating dispersed throughout, from Art Deco inspired lounge chairs, serpentine yellow banquettes, to wood backed-leather sofas create intimate nooks for date night and friends-style gatherings.
