But for the past thirty days, the Border has been dark: Its liquor license was suspended because the bar got caught serving an underage drinker in July -- its fourth official under-age violation since February 2006.

According to the Sanborn site, "The area is considered one of the best restaurant and bar markets in Denver. The trade area is densely populated and has good daytime population in addition to DU's 11,292 students (4,898 undergraduate and 6,394 graduates). The facility has a full kitchen and is fully equipped. This is an excellent opportunity to build on a long historic business or convert to your concept."
But fair warning: Serious offers only.
