Denver businesses that sell booze can soon create spaces that would allow drinkers to wander outside — open containers and all — so long as they stay within the area’s boundaries. Under something called common consumption areas, businesses can band together and establish well-defined borders within which customers could roam freely with their alcoholic drinks, according to Ashley Kilroy, director of Denver’s Department of Excise and Licenses. Don’t think of the Las Vegas Strip or New Orleans, which allow open containers pretty much anywhere, so much as Colorado Springs’ Ivywild School or Greeley’s one-block Ninth Street Plaza, Kilroy said. “It’s not just about drinking and partying, we want it to be about placemaking and community building.” she said. Denver’s about a decade late to the game.
