Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The Walnut Room brought new life -- and cash -- to NoDo, the area northeast of Coors Field. But for its next venture, it's taking on an area that's already ground zero for hipsters: Broadway.
And at 9 a.m. today, Walnut owner John Burr will be at the Denver Department of Excise and License for a liquor-license hearing for the space at 2 Broadway, which formerly was home to Freaky's, and has been transformed over the last several months into the Walnut Room Pizzeria -- and what's certain to be another hipster hangout.
But Burr will have to move fast to make good on that fall opening promise.
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.
