Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Balance, a former hair salon at 2412 East Colfax Avenue, has fallen by the wayside, but the space, the interior of which is bright purple and psychedelic green (at least for now), has been snapped by Maxwell Hopewell-Arizmendi and Yukihiko Koyama, who plan to open Cafe Max. And while a cafe typically signifies jolts of java, the liquor-license application sign pasted to the window signals that the joint, which appears to be under construction, will pour wine, beer and liquor.
A date with the Department of Excise and Licenses is scheduled at the Wellington Webb building on August 24 for a 9 a.m. hearing. And since this is an East Colfax address, where restaurants, bars, and restaurants with bars nearly outnumber the long-legged hookers strutting the sidewalk, the hearing should go off without a hitch.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
