We recently released our list of the Top 100 Bars in Denver and among the picks is Gold Point in RiNo, one of several watering holes owned by Sudhir Kudva and his investment team.The group’s latest project, Larimer Liquors, is set to open soon in a former tattoo shop next door to Gold Point in the next few months. Located at 3122 Larimer Street, it will be a no-frills Midwest bar with a long daily happy hour from 4 to 8 p.m. Beers such as Hamm’s and Busch Light plus simple mixed cocktails will be served in heavy glassware — like frozen mugs for the beer and oversized shot glasses for the shooters, and hot dogs kept warm on a roller will be on offer for a few bucks.The bar will be open from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday and 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday.Because Kudva originally hails from Illinois and another owner, Colin Hankins, is from Nebraska, they are promoting the new spot as a University of Nebraska Huskers’ and Chicago Bears’ bar. Kudva clarifies that he’s first and foremost a Broncos fan, but points out that every bar in Denver is a Broncos bar. Larimer Liquors will only have two televisions and a projector; it intends to be a more passive sports bar, with the sound on low.
