Triangle Bar was filled with loyal customers as bartenders poured drinks for the final time Sunday.
DENVER — An LGBTQ+ bar on North Broadway in DenverLoyal patrons filled the place for its final day. When a spot becomes more than a bar, people show up.
Triangle Bar owner Scott Coors said guests are not coming anymore because many feel unsafe parking in the neighborhood. He partly blamed the dramatic drop in profits on homeless encampments in the area. " we had a tent here and there. We had a little concern occasionally, and it was manageable," Coors said."When COVID hit we kind of became the epicenter - like where everyone wound up coming because the services organizations were here and the city kind of stopped patrolling."
