Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Just as the sign advises, "Please stand by..." for the opening of the Bardo Coffee House, which is coming -- slowly -- to the Imperial Building at 238 South Broadway, across from the Barker Lounge. The space boasts newly installed cabinetry, a few refrigerator cases and a waiting espresso machine, but it looks like it could be a few more months before the first cub is poured.
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.
