Saloon owner and manager Dean Maus announced the closure in a Facebook post and confirmed the news to The Denver Post on Wednesday.
Maus said the building’s new owners initially tried to work with him on keeping the saloon open, but negotiations later fell apart and they stopped responding to his messages. But a partner with the real estate company, EXDO, told the Post they tried to accommodate the saloon owners but couldn’t reach an agreement.
