Filling The River’s void

On Sept. 11, The River opened and closed its doors for the last time. Although the Boulder restaurant selection is down to five (Mountain Good, Elkhorn Bistro, Windsor Bar, Dave’s 32-oz and Maddog Pizza), the community has stepped up to fill the social void left in The River’s absence.

Only three days after The River closed, Dave’s 32-oz hosted its first ever bingo night, and owner Dave Schell said the event had an “awesome turn-out.”

“We’re gonna continue to run it the same way Greg [Hughes] did,” Schell told The Monitor. Wednesdays from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dave’s 32-oz will host the family-friendly event. Following the traditional family night, from 8:15 p.m. to 10 p.m., Dave’s plans to add an adult night where folks can play for real money.
