Your Anti-Vaxxer dating event got booted from Recess
Mile high on the wire — altitude and attitude.
So here's what's wild— Remember that "Unjected" anti-vaxxer dating event that was supposed to happen at Recess Beer Garden in LoHi? Yeah, about that. It got the boot. Recess pulled the plug after a bunch of folks in the neighborhood, and frankly, across Denver, made it clear they weren't too stoked about hosting a gathering built around a divisive health stance. It was supposed to be this big networking thing for people who didn't want to get vaccinated, a place to find "like-minded" individuals. Turns out, not everyone in the Mile High City was on board with that vibe being amplified in a public space.
### The Great Relocation
Okay, context— Recess is a pretty chill spot over in the Highlands, usually packed with folks enjoying a sunny patio and some good brews. It's a place known for its relaxed atmosphere, not for being a battleground for public health debates. The whole situation got pretty heated online, and it seems Recess just decided it wasn't worth the headache or the potential backlash from their regulars. The event is apparently moving to the Grizzly Rose, which, if you know the Grizzly Rose, is a whole different scene. From craft beer and patio vibes to boots, buckles, and country music – that’s a pivot.
Here's why this matters for Denver:
* **Community Values:** It highlights how much Denver residents value inclusivity and community safety, and how quickly they'll speak up when they feel those values are being challenged. * **Business Decisions:** It shows businesses in popular areas like LoHi are paying attention to public sentiment and are willing to make tough calls to align with their customer base. * **The Vibe Shift:** Moving to the Grizzly Rose fundamentally changes the energy of the event. It’s a classic Denver institution, but it's a very specific kind of classic.
It just goes to show you, Denver might be laid-back, but we’re not shy about what we stand for. You can usually find a place for anything here, from your weirdest art show in RiNo to some questionable late-night eats on Colfax, but sometimes, a line gets drawn. Especially when it comes to something as central as public health.
