Black Wednesday bar hopping in Denver

So we have all heard about Black Friday, the big shopping day after Thanksgiving that is either a bargain bonanza or the turkey hangover day. That is no mystery. But Black Wednesday is the lesser known holiday that involves a lot of drinking and partying ... at least that is what it means to us.

Come on, what other day can you wake up with a hangover and have a huge feast awaiting you? So go on, put Black Wednesday on the "to-do" calendar.
