Triangle Bar and Woods Boss Brewing Company attracted hundreds over the weekend despite claims from owners that homeless encampments are killing business.
The Triangle Bar brought in hundreds of party-goers for their"Farewell Beer Bust" on Sunday, October 8. It will be the last time the venue opens up for the foreseeable future.It's been a tough year for downtown Denver businesses like Woods Boss Brewing Company and the Triangle Bar, which are about a block away from each other and both have owners who claim revenues have tanked due to nearby homeless encampments.
A long line formed at the Triangle Bar during its"Farewell Beer Bust" before the venue closes because of homeless encampments hurting revenue.In Moore's eyes,"Denver is suffering significantly" from the homelessness situation. However, he admits his business is"not doing well" to begin with, and that the encampments just make things worse.
After closing in the late 2000s, several owners resurrected the Triangle Bar in 2017 and had success in the first few years. But since COVID, the bar hasn't been able to recover and revenues have trended downward much quicker this year after more homeless encampments sprung up around the block, Coors says.
At any given moment during the Woods Boss party, about 150 people could be seen inside the gates dancing to live rock, perusing merchandise under tents, buying tacos from a food truck or sitting inside Woods Boss and the neighboring businesses, laughing with friends. Triangle Bar hosted hundreds of patrons, as well.
Bruce Ferguson, who used to come once or twice a week to the Triangle Bar, said he stopped after the pandemic because he became more concerned with homelessness and safety."I parked across the street and I parked next to tents, and they go, 'Hey!' I used to park in a pay-lot, and people would look into my car," he toldCoors hasn't been the only business owner in the area that has complained and tried to urge the city to come up with solutions.
While guests at the Woods Boss block party were aware that encampments are an issue in the area, several said they had"good" or"fantastic" experiences on Saturday. "It's nice, I like that it's in the October now — it used to be before the Great American Beer Festival, in the summer — the weather's nice. I'm enjoying it," said Kyle Freeman during the Woods Boss block party.
