The CDC and the Colorado state government have eased pandemic restrictions once again. If you’re fully vaccinated, officials say you don’t need to wear a mask in most settings. That change has also left masking policies up to individual businesses. And some aren’t happy about it.
For now, some businesses aren’t changing a thing. Burns Family Artisan Ales in Denver, for instance, is keeping their policy to require masks. Their tasting room, a rustic, cozy space with soft lighting, is bare of any furniture.
“Normally this would be an area that has a lot of couches, a lot of super comfortable chairs and rugs,” said co-owner Laura Worley.

Like Denver Broncos fans, Nathan Szklarski wanted to find a place to unwind and scream at the TV. So last month Szklarski opened Horror Bar, a cocktail bar that screens scary movies every night.
“Sports bars have jerseys and TVs everywhere playing sports games, but I don’t care about sports,” he said. “I love horror and weird cult films, so I thought, ‘Why not do the same thing for horror films?’”
Horror Bar is located at 5126 E. Colfax Ave. in the Hale neighborhood. It’s open every day from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.
