Department of Excise and Licenses
"I think we're going to see a lot of applications on June 1, and my best guess is we'll see the first common consumption areas pop up early fall," Eric Escudero, a spokesperson for Excise and Licenses, said at the time.In 2011, the Colorado Legislature, spurred on by Glendale officials, legalized common consumption areas, which allow people to carry alcoholic beverages around the area rather then being required to consume them in the establishment in which they were purchased.
But nine months later, the City of Denver still has no operational common consumption areas — and no pending license applications.
