Need to update the status from Closed to Restoring. Work began in 2021 but has been delayed due to COVID and some resistance from the community regarding an application for a liquor and cabaret license. The theatre will be renamed “The Yates” and will serve as a music venue with some of the senior staff formally of the Bluebird Theatre managing the facility.

The new owners are still trying to figure out what to do with the former Yates Theater: https://www.denverpost.com/2019/04/25/yates-theater-tavern-denver/

Nice write-up about this north Denver theater. I had been in it once in the 1990s when it was still a piano store. The floors had never been leveled, so all the keyboards slanted downhill!
