Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
With the warm weather, sinkholes are opening up all over Denver. But unlike those other harbingers of spring, the Sink Hole at 333 Broadway will be a welcome sight when it finally opens.
Promising billiards and a bar, the Sink Hole will take over the former home of Studio Lites, the store that's been offering bling and burlesque paraphernalia for more than three decades. Studio Lites moved to smaller digs at 25 West Third Avenue over two years ago, and its circa 1965 former home was offered for sale.
But now the building is off the market and there are signs of life inside, with that trademark turquoise exterior replaced with stone, and a sign over the door announcing that the new occupant will be "coming soon."
Around the corner, meanwhile, Studio Lites still sports plenty of turquoise, as well as the town's best collection of size 12 high heels.
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.
