Help Support Michael “Mookie” McQueen

If you’ve spent time in Denver’s bar scene over the past 30 years, chances are you’ve shared a laugh, a drink, or a story with Mookie. He may not remember your name (or your drink order, or where he left his glasses...) but you remember him—because he's Mookie. He’s a legend in our industry because of the way he treats everyone who walks through the door.

Recently, Mookie was in a serious bicycle accident. The good news is that he is stable and recovering, but he’s got a tough road ahead and will need time and support to heal. The medical bills are already piling up, and being out of work for the foreseeable future makes things even harder.

Mookie is not the kind of person who would ever ask for help. In fact, he’s the kind of person who’s always giving it. So we’re asking for him.

If Mookie’s ever poured you a round, made you feel welcome, or made your night better, now’s the time to return the favor. Every little bit helps—whether it’s a donation, a share, or just a few kind words.

We’re keeping details minimal to respect his privacy, but rest assured, every dollar goes directly toward helping Mookie heal without the stress of mounting bills. Let’s lift him up the way he’s lifted so many of us in this city.

Thank you for showing up for our friend ❤️
