One of the latest Colorado businesses that has shuttered its doors for good may have only been around for a handful of years, but it served as a haven for stand-up comedy, along with various other art forms, as well as a rare hangout for fans of the Buffalo Bills.

Unfortunately, Wide Right appears to have landed on the depressing list of Colorado businesses that unfortunately went out of business in 2024.

Not only was Wide Right known for heavily and consistently supporting local comics with frequent shows, open mic nights, and other events, but the sports bar also served as the go-to hangout for fans of the Buffalo Bills smack dab in the middle of Broncos Country.

While the bar is listed as permanently closed, you can look back at many of Wide Right's past events that are still listed on the business's official website.
