Cherry Creek Tavern

Location: 1301 Lawrence Street, Denver, Colorado, USA

Opened/Closed: 1980s?

Oddly enough, the only place that I have found that has information on the Cherry Creek Tavern is...the Denver Public Library.

This is what they say about the photo above:

Interior view of a painting in the Cherry Creek Tavern, a lesbian bar, at 1301 Lawrence Street in the Union Station neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. The painting depicts a nude woman reclining. Graffiti is on the ceiling above the painting.

And then there is this photo. With the following commentary:

Back bar, Cherry Creek
Tavern

View of the back bar of the Cherry Creek Tavern, a lesbian bar at 1301 Lawrence Street in the Union Station neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. The bar has a red flocked wall-paper behind rows of liquor bottles. A red, white, and green paper garland is draped above the bar.

If anybody else remembers anything of this place, please let us know.

Based on a contemporary photograph of the site, the Tavern building is long gone and now replaced with ugly office buildings.
