Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The Celtic Crossing at 363 Village Square in Castle Rock closed a couple of months ago, leaving that town without an Irish bar.
The Barking Goat to the rescue! The pub just opened in the Celtic Crossing space last Thursday, and although it's not technically an Irish bar, it will be putting out an Irish spread at 11 a.m. tomorrow, and offering bands and specials through the day.
There's no web site yet, but you can reach the Barking Goat (which is no relation to the Fainting Goat in Denver) at 303-663-6644.
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.
