Bar crawl aimed at generating business on Colfax during bus rapid transit construction
DENVER (KDVR) — Businesses along Colfax Avenue have been vocal about concerns that their businesses will suffer while a bus rapid transit project is constructed between Broadway and Yosemite. On Tuesday, the Colfax Ave. Business Improvement District announced the 'Bigwig Bar Crawl,' a wig-themed bar crawl to five of Denver's favorite bars. Sign up for the FOX31 Denver Guide weekly newsletter for events and activities 'From bold and bright to sleek and chic—all wigs are welcome. And here's the twist: your wig is your drink ticket!' the improvement district said in its announcement. The goal of the crawl is to support small business impacted by the ongoing construction project. Once complete, the project will create a bus lane in each direction along Colfax, designed to increase transit capacity and shorten travel times. BRT projects have been touted as making bus service more reliable and timely, and giving buses priority at intersections. The crawl will kick off at The Squire Lounge, 1800 E. Colfax Ave., and will include visits to five other bars, according to the district, including Pete's Satire Lounge, Lion's Lair, DNVR and Bar Max. Tickets to join the event are $10 and are available here, but interested participants must be 21 and over. The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, with registration open from 3 to 4 p.m., and the crawl planned to start at 4 p.m. All proceeds from the bar crawl will go to small businesses impacted by the bus rapid transit construction. The event organizers added that participants should drink responsibly and use rideshare, transit or get a sober friend to drive them home. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Breakfast Inn, a popular Denver restaurant, is closing after 50 years
DENVER (KDVR) — A south Denver restaurant established in 1976 is closing its doors after serving thousands of meals. From huevos rancheros to breakfast burritos, and from burgers to steak and eggs, Breakfast Inn served up beloved Americana meals and comfort food. In an Instagram post, the current owner said that he's hanging up his apron after running the business for the last 21 years. Sign up for the FOX31 Denver Guide weekly newsletter for events and activities David Frieder posted on Instagram on May 17, sharing some of the experiences afforded to him as the Breakfast Inn's owner. 'I've been in foreign countries and met people who have eaten at my restaurant,' Frieder shared. 'I have watched both customers and employees alike grow up, go to school, get married (many times to people they met at the BI) and start families.' The BI is facing a problem similar to beloved Englewood restaurant 'Frank The Pizza King,' which officially closed its doors last week after the building it had leased for 64 years was sold and the new owners made it clear that the pizza shop wasn't wanted as a tenant. 'After a year of fighting the good fight, our lease was not renewed and the property has been sold,' Frieder wrote on Instagram. 'We would love to see every single person who has been through so much with us before we close, so please come by to say goodbye and get some of Liborios green chile one last time!' One fan of the restaurant asked if there is an option for the Breakfast Inn to simply find a new location. 'I spent a year looking for other locations but there were no options in a radius that would be a reasonable drive for our current clientele,' Frieder replied in the comments section. Others shared their longstanding relationship with the restaurant. 5 things to know ahead of Denver International Airport Memorial Day travel 'I am heartbroken,' one commenter said. 'Breakfast Inn is a HUGE deal in our family. For over 30 years it was our go-to place.' Frieder seemed to share similar sentiments, sharing in his Instagram post that he had regular guests come in for 10 to 20 years and pass away. He said that each time felt like he 'lost a relative.' 'The BI has been there for the community and the community has ALWAYS been there for the BI,' Frieder wrote.'I thank everyone for the privilege of serving you for most of my professional career, I will certainly miss what the BI means to the community!' The Breakfast Inn will close permanently at 2 p.m. on June 8. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
