Columbia's past something of a prologue
The college “immediately restored full access for these students to residence halls, dining facilities, classrooms, and other parts of campus,” according to a statement from the school released Friday. In a news conference Wednesday morning with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, police officials said 173 people had been arrested at City College, and 109 at Columbia. "After the University learned overnight that Hamilton Hall had been occupied, vandalized, and blockaded, we were left with no choice," the school said. "The decision to reach out to the NYPD was in response to the actions of the protesters, not the cause they are championing. We have made it clear that the life of campus cannot be endlessly interrupted by protesters who violate the rules and the law." Columbia University has banned one of the students leading the university’s pro-Palestinian protests, a university spokesperson told CNN on Friday.

Throughout the week, several schools called police on protesters, leading to the arrests of hundreds across the country. Protesters have demanded schools divest campus funds from entities connected to Israel. Protests also caught on at other Colorado college campuses this week, with students and community members organizing rallies and other events from Greeley to Colorado Springs. The students’ demands are largely outside of CU Denver Chancellor Michelle Marks’ purview, Auraria officials said in the news release.

Four officers were injured, including a state trooper who was hit in the head with a skateboard, according to University of Wisconsin police spokesperson Marc Lovicott.

They see LoDo's potential, and Riot House is their next act of love for the neighborhood. Lissa Druss, a spokesperson for Riot Hospitality Group, a national premier hospitality management company, said choosing the location was easy for them, it's right next door to another one of their businesses, Dierks Bentley Whiskey Row. Riot House, a 16,000-square-foot nightclub is located on Market Street in the Lower Downtown district. Riot House comes to Denver by way of Scottsdale, Ariz., where the concept’s first location is and where its owner/operator, Riot Hospitality Group, is based. The company also owns Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, located on the same block at 1946 Market St., which opened on New Year’s Eve in 2021. The space, which served as home base for the cast of “Real World Denver” nearly two decades ago, debuted as Riot House, a restaurant and club specializing in DJ dance parties and bottle service.

Real estate company Shames Makovsky owned the building, purchasing it after longtime El Chapultepec owner Jerry Krantz died a decade ago. And Monfort Companies purchased both for $5.38 million, according to property records. The same day that Monfort Companies and Riot Hospitality broke ground on Riot House in downtown Denver, the group announced that it had purchased the famed former jazz club El Chapultepec, as well as the Giggling Grizzly on the corner of 20th and Market streets. The team behind the LoDo location of Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row plans to bring a second concept from Arizona-based Riot Hospitality Group to the same block.
Before officers arrived at Columbia, the White House condemned the standoffs there and at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, where protesters had occupied two buildings for more than a week until officers with batons intervened early Tuesday. Of those arrested, 13 are students, one is a faculty member and 18 are not students, the university said in a statement. The venue will feature a large center bar, dance floor, rooftop patio, and an exclusive beverage program. In a letter to senior NYPD officials, Columbia President Minouche Shafik said the administration made the request that police remove protesters from the occupied building and a nearby tent encampment "with the utmost regret." The ensuing crackdown by police on some college campuses has stirred echoes of the much larger student protest movement during the Vietnam War era.

Located in the heart of downtown, Denver Union Station is a renovated 1914 Beaux-Arts train station and home to 10 chef-owned restaurants and bars, boutique shops and a 112-room hotel, The Crawford. The A Line airport train from Denver International Airport will take travelers straight to the station.

El Chapultepec, a historic jazz bar and Mexican restaurant caddy corner from Coors Field at 1962 Market St., closed in Dec. 2020 after 87 years, due to COVID and the changing economic landscape downtown. Valentes Corleons, former owner of Beta nightclub, previously planned to transform El Chapultepec into a new concept called Cantina, but after Beta’s liquor license was removed, he pulled out of the nightlife scene altogether. Riot Hospitality Group, which recently opened Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in Denver’s Ballpark Neighborhood, plans to open a restaurant and bar named Riot House next door, 1920 Market St., according to a news release. Riot Hospitality Group said with state-of-the-art immersive audio and visual installations, Riot House will host renowned DJs and have VIP bottle service for an "elevated nightlife experience."
