HISTORY:
The Denver Drumstick opened in 1967. The restaurant was best known for its model train that ran near the ceiling, coined the “biggest little railroad in all the land”, and for their boxcar of chicken and shrimp boats. The restaurant closed its doors in the 70’s. Then the Drumstick became a bingo hall before eventually sitting vacant for many years.
In 2022, the Drumstick entered its current incarnation as The HUB- home to artist-owned galleries, creative businesses, and 40 West Arts. Though the building has been transformed, reminders of the Denver Drumstick can still be seen in etchings on the doors to the 40 West Arts gallery.
