Justin Lloyd, owner of Star Bar in Denver's Ballpark neighborhood, is proposing an expansion onto the adjacent parking lot. The plan includes a large patio, a covered stage for live music, expanded bar and restroom facilities. Lloyd hopes to attract bigger acts and generate additional revenue for the bar, while also contributing to Denver's vibrant live music scene.
The Pueblo native has owned Star Bar at 2137 Larimer St. for 15 years, having bought the mural-clad brick building and its warm dive inside from the original owner, who opened the spot in 1959.
Then, there would be a covered stage, for the country and Americana bands that Lloyd enjoys. A small bar out behind the existing Star Bar would be expanded, and extra bathrooms would be installed.But hold your horses — Lloyd stressed this plan is still “monstrously exploratory.” He has no budget and no timeline for the project, and expects it will be several months before Denver reviews the proposal.
Right now, Star Bar doesn’t charge a cover when it hosts bands, although it pays the acts. If Lloyd can add the stage, he wants to bring in bigger gigs and sell tickets, giving him another revenue source.
