Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Timing is everything, and the Georg family picked a very good time to close their Chinook Tavern, a landmark at 265 Detroit Street for almost two decades. By closing up on Tuesday, they managed to avoid the chaos of the Cherry Creek Arts Festival.
Now if they can just survive the chaos of moving into the Landmark project in Greenwood Village, where Chinook is slated to reopen in several months.
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.
