Denver’s licensing director signed off Friday on the city’s second license for a marijuana consumption area in a business, paving the way for a vaping bar and lounge to open this fall.
The owners of Vape and Play plan to open the 21-and-over social lounge and entertainment venue in November or sooner, depending on the timing of a renovation of the building at 1753 S. Broadway. Co-owner Taylor Rosean says the lounge will be centered around a “multi-station, saloon-style vape bar,” though customers will have to bring their own marijuana per the rules of Denver’s 2016 voter-passed Initiative 300.
Because of restrictions contained in the initiative and regulations added by the city, prospective applicants for I-300 licenses have run into roadblocks in trying to open businesses.
