Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
This nondescript apartment complex tucked behind a K-Mart and a Dollar Tree on South Cherokee Street doesn't look too impressive now, but once open, Denizen (as it will be called) will be mere steps away from the Alameda light rail station. So it makes sense for a cafe and bar to set up shop where there will soon be a multitude of new residents. A notice was recently posted on the south corner of the project stating that the White Whale Room has applied for a liquor license with the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses.
Rachael Gass, Dakin Cranwell and Brad Arguello are listed as the partners on the notice. Arguello is also a partner in the soon-to-open Avanti Food & Beverage project and was one of the founders of Uber Sausage.
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.
