Denver’s only lesbian bar will soon close

Denver’s only lesbian bar will soon close after more than a decade as a hotspot for the LGBTQ+ community on Colfax Avenue. Blush & Blu, which opened in 2012, will celebrate its final night of service on Oct. 5, according to a post on social media. In the closing announcement, owner Jody Bouffard lamented the changes in the gay bar scene: As of 2017, Blush & Blu was the last standing lesbian bar in Denver and by 2021, it was one of just 21 nationwide. “When I moved to Denver in 1996, there were over 200 lesbian bars across the country, each a beacon of refuge, though not always safe,” the post read in part.
