King opened up at a first location in Denver in 1981 on East Colfax between Trenton and Tamarac streets. Founder John King, who’s currently based out of their Phoenix location, will be around throughout the week to commemorate three-and-a-half decades of his establishment. Kai Lee’s Kiki will also feature house queens like Alyssa Love, Mile High Pinky Pie, Venus Sexton and newcomer Khloe Katz along with other performers the queens invite to share the floor.īrendan Sullivan, general manager of Charlie’s Denver, said patrons should expect entertainment, specials, and quality service throughout the weekend. Armstrong will also be featured that evening along with Phoenix’s drag diva Pussy Le Hoot.
Sunday night, as usual, will feature Kai Lee’s Kiki at 9:30pm, hosted weekly by Kai Lee Mykels. Both nights will feature free drinks from 6–7pm with the headliners appearing right after in the parking lot. Herndon will be performing on Friday and Armstrong on Saturday.
Their anniversary weekend, which kicks off Friday, June 3, plans to bring in headliners like out country singer Ty Herndon and comedian/singer Amy Armstrong.
Charlie’s Denver is celebrating 35 years this June, and the quaint Colfax cowboy bar still prides itself on a down-home atmosphere with a touch of neon.
