After the last note sounds at tonight’s karaoke gathering, the Squire Lounge will shut its doors — not just for the night, but for a several-week remodeling project. No one will miss the old bathrooms, but Loungers worry that a major cleanup will erase the appeal of one of the last down-and-dirty dives in Denver.

Says Pam:
My first dive ever…all my old haunts are either giving up the game all together or joining yuppie-dom.
And then there’s this from contender:
RIP Squire. I don’t go there to ‘drink with people below me.’ I like it for the (super) cheap drinks and absolute lack of any sort of pretension. It’s at Colfax and Williams; I have my doubts as to whether or not the clientele will change save for me. I’m not going to risk a stabbing to pay RiNo prices for a drink.
Maybe the PS lounge can start doing karaoke.
