Grand Junction Nostalgia: The Iconic Closed Bars We Miss Most
Grand Junction used to know how to have a good time, and if you grew up here, chances are at least one of these places holds a memory you probably shouldn't tell your kids about.
We asked, and you delivered. When we posted a simple question on Facebook, "What's your favorite bar that no longer exists in Grand Junction?" the responses flooded in.
Hundreds of you chimed in with names that hit like a jukebox full of throwbacks.
The Rose Reigned Supreme
If there's one thing Grand Junction agrees on, it's The Rose.
It was far and away the most mentioned bar in our comments, a place people described as the best dance floor in town, the home of legendary Friday After Work Clubs, and frankly, the kind of spot that just doesn't exist here anymore.
Some things can't be replicated.
