The last owners were far from new to the business. Brothers Kevin and Craig Caldwell, who started Brooklyn's, had taken over the former home of the Aroma Cafe at 2017 South University Boulevard near the end of 2009 -- then were denied a liquor license because the spot was within 500 feet of the Ricks Center for Gifted Children at DU. Finally, after months of discussion, Crimson & Gold was granted a liquor license and opened in the fall of 2010.
