"Rita’s Law is a new bar set to open soon in the renovated Melbourne Hostel building in Denver's Five Points neighborhood. The bar features repurposed and reused materials, custom-designed furniture, and a patio. Design highlights include a custom-built bar using wood paneling from the historic Zang Mansion and a bar top made from trailer truck beds. The back bar has whiskey barrel-inspired shelves made with staves from Breckenridge Distillery barrels. Other elements include refurbished doors from the Epworth Church and light fixtures from the NATIV hotel. The bar also has a kitchen converted from an old school bus to comply with tavern license regulations. Olive & Finch Eatery & Bakery will provide pastries and baked goods, and the menu will use ingredients sourced from Colorado- and Denver-based businesses. Rita’s Law is expected to open in late March or early April." - Susan Stapleton
