The Crypt

The Crypt used to be the place to go but over the years their inventory has shifted and now they barely seem to have anything, including clothes. The staff is friendly and always more than willing to assist and answer questions, the rating is solely based on the inventory which is limited, few options and very mainstream. Fascinations is almost a better option any more. Hopefully, the go back to what they once were.

A good place to find accessories, toys, and other naughty odds and ends!

What else is there to share about this place! It’s awesome, where else in Denver can you acquire an adult sex toy, leather corset, S &M materials and shop for cute shoes? The people behind the counter are usually cool (yes sometimes there are douche bags who work at adult sex stores: be prepared) but they’ll usually be very polite and give you the right amount of information and space so you can do your thang. I recommend this place for the adventurous couple (or whatever you’re into) and especially if you’re in need of a laugh lol check out all the selection of adult toys — I doubt they have a practical use (although you never know) but you should get a good chuckle seeing exactly what they have to offer there

Great shop for corsets, though their toy selection is also good. High quality clothing and accessories.

Got leather garter belt from there to use for a show and when I got to the show I realized that one of the plastic pieces you use to attach the stocking was broken. Even though took it right back and I never wore, it, still had the tags, they would do nothing. That is terrible customer service. Like throwing away $ 25.

Good selection. HORRIBLE customer service. They rolled their eyes when I asked for help finding something and wouldn’t let me pay with cash. Will never go back

Fine for your fetish costume needs, and they even have organic lube! But their collection of dildos is lacking. There was this weird bad smell that I couldn’t put my finger on while I was in there that got worse as you approached the back of the store. I was later informed that that is what old semen smells like, but I cannot verify that because I have no idea what old semen smells like…

Yes.

I found that you size in a bustier is a lot smaller than you bra size. There were things there I never saw before and things I would like to try. I think it is an exotic place to shop for the extraordinary people of the world.

Sorta nice staff, they greet you and help you until another customer enters the store.
Alot of small sizes, nothing in larger sizes, a bit saddening.
Many items out of stock.

Literally stumbled upon this place was strolling south Broadway on a date. They had some pretty outrageous stuff in the window, so we decided to wander in and look around. Wow — what a place. I think they have something for just about anyone. Anyone who admits that they have just a little kink in them, at least!
The front part of the store has a variety of clothing and footwear. We’re talking bustiers, super short little skirts, thigh-​high stockings, decadent heels, etc. It would have been the perfect place to get my dance-​club outfits back in my 20s. The case along the side has jewelry and assorted goodies. As you move further back, you get into the men’s wear, and then the sex toys, etc. I will admit that I don’t normally frequent adult stores and had a seedy, creepy image of them in my head. The Crypt is not seedy or creepy in the slightest. It’s very clean, well-​lit, organized, and welcoming. And, I cannot say enough good things about the staff, specifically Jared and Bianca! They are super friendly and helpful.
On my first foray into the Crypt, I fell in love with a pair of white patent boots. So much so, that I had to come back to purchase. Alas, the Denver store did not have them in my size. But, they were happy to call around to other stores and found exactly what I wanted at the Seattle store. And, Jared even suggested that I try on a similar boot from the same manufacturer to ensure I was requesting the right size. Now, in order to get the boots transferred from the Seattle store, I had to put down a deposit. But, if the boots didn’t fit upon arrival, I could use that deposit towards anything else in the store. Thankfully the boots did fit and they are freaking awesome! And, Jared even showed me (and Bianca) a fantastic trick to lacing up the boot quickly and tightly.
So, admit it, there’s a part of you that has at least a little kink. Go explore the Crypt and I’m sure you’ll find something fun to take home, whether you’re a wild child or a bit more on the tame side.

Let’s face it — lube is a necessity. Since that’s the case the most bestest, most cheapest place to buy it is The Crypt! There is a LARGE (tee hee) selection of products for all your lubrication needs… and it’s not overly expensive.
If you’re in the market for a ball-​gag, butt plug, porn star dildo, or just plain olé porn then here’s where to get it. They got magazines, books, calendars, stuff in leather, rubber and barbed wire… oh yeah.
Good hours and a convenient location — I’m for sure a fan. Plus, the staff is always nice and willing to help you find whatever your heart and your loins desire.
The cherry on top is the «unassuming» black bag you get so no one can see your purchases. Not that I care all that much but it’s a nice touch that only us nasty honey badgers would appreciate… cuz we don’t give a shit.

Cool store with a variety of stuff (wink wink nod nod) and good prices on porn. The staff is mixed as far as being helpful. Always get my lube there.

Last summer, I stopped into the Crypt looking for stripper pants for my air guitar costume. Sadly, the store (the third one I’d stopped in on this mission, mind you) was fresh out. The rest of the review should write itself, but I’ll do my Elite duty and make with the (pleasant) details.
Seeing as how yours truly doesn’t get to frequent stores like this very often, I wasn’t about to turn around and make a hasty retreat. Oh, no. Tearaway pants or no, I probably spent 30 minutes lackadaisically flipping through magazines and merchandise. My wide eyes pored over the treasure trove of unmentionables inside, and I experienced nary a ‘heebie’ nor ‘jeebie’. The store is clean, organized, and professional – unlike some of the city’s lesser ballgag bodegas (which we have plenty of, it seems).
Didn’t spend a dime, but had a ball wasting time in this wizard’s chest of adult goods. The cryptkeepers on hand were amicable and approachable; they even recommended another store on Broadway I might visit on my quest to procure my aircessories. Let’s face it, my inquiry was probably the most vanilla one they’d heard all day, but they let me down in a way that didn’t make me feel like a creep (or a square) for making such an ostentatious request.
I won’t go into detail about the items in question that caught my eye – you’ll have to stop in and see. But if your ‘deviant’ heart desires something for that special someone, or just a break from the standard routine, the Crypt will have something to tickle your fancy. Just don’t ask about the stripper pants.

I love this store. Went here a lot during my club kid phase for ensembles. Lots of club kid clothes and fetish wear to offer Denver. Lots of sex toys too! When I first started going in there I would look at the sex equipment and be a bit perplexed as to what it was used for. For instance the nipple clamps with mini guillotines at the end. Lots of weird leather masks; gas masks, leather pig masks, leather dog masks. I don’t consider myself too naïve but even still when I go in there I still leave with the thought swirling in my head… You use that thing to do that!!!

Love this store! The giant butt plugs in the back are frightening! For large women and small cattle only! No matter. They cater from mild to wild. I love the vinyl selection when they carry it. Great collars, toys, etc. One toy that almost knocked me on my ass in the store was the tennis racket. I can’t imagine a tazer being much different. The wand is much less powerful and rather exciting, but for six-​hundred I’m not sure it’s worth the investment.
Great book selection, whips, crops, clamps, restraints, toys, pretty much everything you would need.

My search for 80’s gear ended here with the perfect skirt and the perfect tights.
I had no idea this was an adult store until I was alerted to the giant dildo’s in the back. How did I miss that?
But, bustiers, skirts, tights, panties, jackets, dresses — all sorts of good stuff in all shapes and sizes lined the aisles of this unique store.
On top of the variety of goods, the saleswoman was amazing. Showed me the sales, showed me the difference in types of skirts I was looking for and even told me that numerous people had already been in searching for 80’s gear, BUT no one purchased what I was searching for. We will see at the actual party, but I trusted her immediately. Great way to get return customers.
She even gave me a frequent shopper card even though I had never been in before. The prices varied from good clearance bargains to well above reasonable, so look diligently.
Loved it — will def. be back, and maybe I’ll check out the back wall next time.

Yeah, I’ll admit I’ve been in there… I’ve lived within 2 blocks for more than 4 years and I finally went in.
What a nice place! Seriously; it was clean and bright and absolutely «normal.» There was no crazy music playing, awkward videos or disturbing posters.
There is a lot of weird stuff here, and it’s interesting to just see, but there are plenty of practical items there for everyday. Want examples — go in and see for yourself!

Yes, I know I’m a few months late for this particular theme, but who cares?!
Halloween is a holiday which I have always held very near and dear to my black little heart, it’s the one day out of the year where you can really let loose and have an excuse to recreate yourself. The only problem with Halloween, is how completely commercialized and uncreative it has managed to become over the years. Seriously, if I have to see one more tasteless «Doctor with an Erection» or «Naughty Nurse» costume, I think I’m going to be sick. So what’s the best way to avoid a boring costume? First off, Halloween stores are good for two things, cheap make-​up and the occasional gory prop. To find a good costume, it’s always best to look in more unorthodox stores, thrift shops, flea markets, military surplus and of course, my personal favorite, The Crypt.
Nestled in between a line of trendy sushi bars and «Head-​Shops» along Denver’s Broadway Blvd strip, is a quaint little shop, which at first glance, might spark uncomfortable visions of whips and high heeled boots. While yes, you certainly can find all of the above at this store, you won’t feel dirty once you step inside. Glass display windows sport several mannequins dressed to the nines in various clothes of alternative lifestyles; from fishnet, to leather, from sexy lingerie, to t-​shirts bearing silly slogans. Upon stepping inside, the front of the store is lined with racks of corsets, frilly tops and skirts of all lengths, sizes and styles.
The shop is very well lit and won’t send the average shopper fleeing with disgust or fear of what horrors might await them. Along the entirety of the right wall, is a lengthy display case and counter, absolutely loaded with high-​end custom jewelry; weather you’re a diva or a rockstar, you’ll definitely find something to your liking. The Crypt stocks quite a variety of brands, most of which few people have heard of, yet everything is of surprisingly high quality. The more adult products are conveniently enough, seperated in the far back of the spacious boutique, so one can either avoid the hefty selection of DVD’s, bedroom fantasy kits, ‘toys’ and leather fetish gear, or they can enjoy the extra bit of privacy that is allowed by this particular section.
While The Crypt is primarily a ‘fetish’shop, it does do a wonderful job of catering to nearly every social clique, save for the incredibly conservative, so don’t be surprised if you see customers or all shapes, sizes and orientations. The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and are always willing to offer a warm greeting and perhaps even a pleasant conversation if one might be so inclined. My only negative comment, is that even the most inexpensive looking piece of clothing, will almost always cost a pretty penny, but of course, quality and originality comes at a price.
If you’re a leather daddy, drag queen, goth, fetishist, slave, club goer, curious individual, or just a die-​hard Halloween celebrant who wants to put together a costume that is both unique and guaranteed to win you compliments; if not a prize at the party and you don’t mind spending a bit extra, then you might want to check out what The Crypt has to offer. The service and selection are reason enough to visit and it doesn’t hurt to take a selection or two to the dressing room; even if you don’t plan to buy, it’s still fun to try.
One thing to keep in mind, is the markup on almost everything here is outrageous (my only complaint), examples of this can be found in their goth brands;(Shrine, Lip Service, Tripp, etc.) where something that costs 89.99 on the official brand website, will be marked up to a whopping 259.99 in this store. My suggestion, try it, mark down the brand and shop it either online or at another store (Rave’s or secondly, FashionNation.)

A men’s size 16 hot pink patent leather pump? Shut the front door!
The Crypt is awesome! The higher-​end merchandise is really well-​made (pricey, but worth it for good quality merch) and the folks that work there are super-​friendly!
We were there yesterday, so I thought I’d pass along the fact that they’re having a sale through the end of August (40% all leather goods, some shoes and some toys); I saw some amazing deals!
The Crypt is totally cryptapulous!
I made my husband model the size 16 shoe if you’re brave enough to look:
