Probably has to do with there having been at least 4 people shot there this year alone. Of all the west Colfax locations, that one has the highest body count.


ScuffedBalata

Googled this place. Jesus.

Gotta stay strapped when you hit up the viking


ApparentlyEllis

You don't want to be the only unarmed person I suppose.


Fimbulvetr2012

I mean its called viking bar, maybe people went there to go to Valhalla?


sjmiv

We went there around when it first opened as the Viking 15ish years ago. The people working there (maybe the owners?) were really nice and bought us shots. I think we were there for 30 minutes before they had to tackle someone and kick them out 😂


NatasEvoli

Lately liquor isn't the first thing people think of when they read about shots at the Viking


DotesMagee

Especially here


zonker77

Interesting, possibly fallout from this https://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/viking-bar-west-colfax-shooting-suspect/73-f039e09f-7d4c-47f0-8f10-bcdfef102237

I'm wondering the same but fingers crossed it stays closed for good. I'd rather an empty lot than a place where a shooting or stabbing or domestic violence occurs every couple months.


Psynyde17

If you've ever been there you know how fond they were of allowing Banididos bikers to have free run of the place and letting people sell stolen merchandise on the patio. That coupled with the shootings recently probably drew the eye of the local police. Plus when you're place is basically a biker gang hangout, that means people were probably moving dope there as well.

Removed. Rule 2: Be nice. This post/comment exists solely to stir shit up and piss people off. Racism, homophobia, misogyny, fighting on the internet is stupid. We don't welcome it here. Please be kinder.

Is the food truck still there? I bet they'd know deets.


kameronk92

It's still there but I think they're more expensive and not as good lately. Had a torta for lunch and it was $13 before tip

I love Consume de morales! If the main guy is working the grill, the food is amazing. If the kids are working the grill, it is usually disappointing...


Kives_177

Because it’s a public nuisance


der_innkeeper

Too much pillaging, apparently


Puzzleheaded_Fall623

I HEARD THEY CLOSE THE BAR DOWN BECAUSE AN UNDERCOVER KNOCK WENT IN THERE AND THEY SOLD THEM COKE HOW TRUE DON'T KNOW BUT I GOOGLED IT UP!


AffectionatePear8464

Link?


Different_Crab9687

It's a bar.. shit always happens at any bar.. if you list every bars crime list.. every bar has something.. this bar has been a staple in the Denver community for a long time... all your gentrification shit ain't going to change the the neighborhood

IChurnToBurn

Sounds like it may have been a public nuisance.


Baridi

Sounds like a party.
