Olde Town Arvada is the latest suburban neighborhood in the metro area to take a step toward allowing visitors to wander around with an alcoholic beverage, while Denver continues to see no takers on the concept.
Becoming an entertainment district allows businesses that are in areas closed off to vehicle traffic to create an association and apply for a common consumption area, which then allows customers to drink and roam. The setup is the result of a state law passed in 2011. For Olde Town, that means just under 30 businesses with liquor licenses in the pedestrian mall area between Grandview Avenue, Webster Street and Olde Wadsworth Boulevard would be able to serve to-go alcoholic beverages. Olde Town Arvada Business Improvement District submitted the application on behalf of its constituents.
Hengstler said the setup could also come in handy when Olde Town hosts festivals or special events. Arvada voted to allow entertainment districts last year, and Olde Town was the first to apply. Hengstler said common consumption was allowed to some degree during the pandemic to support businesses in the area.
