Enlisting support from Denver BNArmy for new beer bar

[ChrisKennedy]

My fiancee works at Denver Health which is in the vicinity, though I don't know what you mean by 200 St W.

She also has a few beer loving friends that work with her that may be willing to help.

I don't want to speak for him, but I am guessing that BadRock would be willing to help if he could. Hell, it would just give us all an excuse to go downtown and drink some good beer while helping out a fellow BNer.

Marty Jones, the marketing guru over at Wynkoop is probably the man to contact. Hickenlooper no longer has any stake in the brewery and I imagine he is going to be a bit busy in the coming months. Marty is a really nice guy and he seems very supportive of the local beer scene.

Correction - the western boundary is not "200 St West" (which is what the city specified), it is in reality Bannock St. Thanks for pointing out that error. So... anybody out there live a bit east of Bannock?

Chris - thanks for mentioning the marketing guy at Wynkoop, I'll contact him.

Update:

We have a Capitol Hill United Neighborhood Association meeting schedule for Thursday, 2 December 2010 at 7PM at the Colorado Lace Building, 200 E 7th Avenue (and Sherman).

We GREATLY appreciate any support you can provide, whether you can show up at the meeting or even just provide us with the contact info for someone who lives in the area.

It was a little hard to find on Facebook so here's a link.....

Yeah, thanks for that link Badrock - I didn't realize there were so many other Cold Comforts on facebook, and I wouldn't want to see anyone follow the wrong one... not that "Cold Comfort" the movie was SO bad (I actually found it pretty funny - someone suggested that we have our bartenders wash out glasses with a stick in homage. not sure i agree with the idea).

Got in touch with Marty. He sounds willing/eager to help out. Thanks CK and BR for pointing me in the right direction.

Still looking for leads, though, so any more networks in Denver, let me know...

A quick update:

This Thursday, Cold Comfort will host the Capitol Hill United Neighborhood Association to discuss our plans and their impact on the neighborhood. We would like to show local residents and business owners that there is desire for a craft tavern in the area and that Cold Comfort will be a positive addition to the community, revitalizing an unoccupied building and providing a comfortable neighborhood gathering place. A large turnout of support will help us greatly in getting CHUN support at our Liquor License Hearing with the city.

Please join us at for an hour meeting at 7PM this Thursday, December 2, 2010 at the Colorado Lace building at 200 E 7th Avenue (and Sherman) in Denver if you live in the Governors Park neighborhood or nearby. Contact me at rgiaquinta (at) mailzone (dot) com.
