3 Kilts Tavern in Denver Is Closing on September 17

Another Denver bar is shutting its doors: 3 Kilts Tavern will be gone for good after one last hurrah this coming weekend.

Its home at 1076 Ogden Street was formerly home to longtime neighborhood bar Barricuda’s, which closed in November 2019 after 25 years. A year later, 3 Kilts moved into the space after a brief stint at 1600 Champa Street.

According to a note posted on the door and on the 3 Kilts Facebook page, “In today’s economy, it has become harder and harder to make it work.

It is with a heavy heart that we must put our kilts down and close the doors.”…
