Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Nico Eymar -- or Nico the Frenchie, as his regulars know him -- has been a bartender/server at Rioja for over seven years. Last Friday, he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that will require at least three months to recover from.
So his colleagues and friends are hosting a benefit tonight at Euclid Hall, 1317 14th Street, to help support Nico's wife and two boys during this difficult time.
The event takes place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. and features food from Rioja executive chef Jennifer Jasinski paired with wines. There will be silent auctions as well; tickets cost $47 per person at the door.

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.
