Two new businesses slated for Denver's Santa Fe Art District

• But the incoming business owners appear committed to honoring the signature feel of the historic neighborhood.

Details: A new women-owned concept called Town Hall Collaborative at 525 Santa Fe Dr., will provide a multi-use event space with a bar, stage, food trucks and a makerspace for classes and workshops.

• The more than 7,000-square-foot-space is centered around bringing people together looking for connection, creativity and fun.

A wine bar, dubbed Room for Friends, is also nearing completion at 846 Santa Fe Dr., after its zoning permit was approved last week.

• The lounge, owned by a local husband and wife duo, will serve wine by the glass and flight, a few select beers, as well as small bites like charcuterie boards.

What to watch: Both businesses plan to open in May, each announced online.
