This week Brad Weismann served up memories of ten more long-gone Denver institutions, including such restaurants as the Yum Yum Tree —a forerunner of the food court — and the Denver Drumstick, which once had five locations around Denver. Says Chris:
Thanks for this, Westword! It brings back so many fond memories of Denver when I was a child!! I haven’t seen you do any writeups on Soda Straw. It sat just north of what is today Shotgun Willie’s. It was a soda fountain-type restaurant where we would go for social gatherings as kids, as well as birthday parties!!
Adds Dallas:
I miss Lotus Room at the original VFW #1…
When news happens, Westword is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
And Traci remembers a couple more:
The Organ Grinder? Baby Doe’s?
What long-gone Denver restaurants do you hunger for?
