Wilde closes down


After only a couple of months of operation, Denver's newest gay bar has closed its doors for good. At closing time this past Friday, owner John announced to his employees that the club would no longer open for business.

The former employee who told me the news blamed the club's demise on a failure to carve out a niche for itself.

It's too bad, it's always nice to have a new gay club in town and I was a fan of Wilde's quirky, haunted house-style architecture and layout.

I hope John, or somebody, can re-open it as an after-hours club. I think a gay after-hours club would go over like gangbusters in Denver.
