The Denver Detour opened around 1983 at 1110 Colfax under owner Sheila Keathley and ran as a lesbian bar for more than 24 years, closing in 2009.  It was notable for serving food at a time when very few LGBTQ+ bars did — burritos, prime rib, a real kitchen. The owner being a lesbian naturally drew a sapphic crowd, but the food menu made it a genuinely mixed space.  Happy hour ran Monday through Saturday from 4 to 8pm, and it offered pool, darts, and karaoke nights.  It became a beloved anchor on the Colfax corridor — the kind of neighborhood bar that outlasted dozens of flashier places.
