Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
For months, the former American Costume Company has been undergoing a transformation -- and you now can see the results for yourself, since Blake Street Vault has finally opened its doors at 1526 Blake Street. The restaurant/bar's opening this week was a few weeks behind schedule, but as one partner says, "it's quite a bit of work to bring the 19th century up to the 21st."
And the Vault still got open before the second location of 8 Rivers, just a few doors away on Blake, which is now looking at a mid-September opening.
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.
