Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
July's heat dried up the outdoor patios, but now that temperatures have cooled off, patios are heating up again.
Promising to be among the hottest in town: Mel's Anti-Bistro at 1120 East Sixth Avenue. Charlie Master reports that the new patio opened this week, and it's already a popular gathering spot -- just as this address was thirty years ago, when it was home to Dudley's and the owners included Mel and Jane Master, Charlie's parents.
But unlike Dudley's, which was intimate and enclosed, Mel's patio is wide open. To almost anything. -- Patricia Calhoun
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.
