Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Heading out for a cocktail? Don't bother with The Stingray -- or Coop De Ville at the Stingray, at it was renamed in February.
The bar closed with a blowout event that was a combination one-year anniversary/farewell party last Sunday, and today the door is locked, the voicemail box no longer taking messages.
We've put in a call to Leigh Jones, who also owns the Horseshoe Lounge, Jonesy's EatBar and Bar Car; to get the details on why Coop de Ville flew the coop.
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.
