The announcement came late last week on the Wrangler’s Facebook page - a reassuring message for customers who might have been concerned that the venue would meet the same fate as the beloved leather/bear bar the Eagle, which closed earlier this month after the building it occupied in RiNo was bought for a hefty sum. After that venture failed, the building was purchased by the management group behind Tracks/Exdo, who saw a succession of occupants, ranging from the Kiva to Eden to Swallows to the Downing Street Grille, come and go.īut with the Wrangler, the owners finally seem to have a tenant that's a perfect fit.

But this summer it will move to Five Points, taking over the big building at 3090 Downing Street that was once a church, then home to Tosh's Hacienda. For two decades, TheWrangler, a popular gay bar catering to a burly clientele, has held down the corner of Logan Street and East 17th Avenue.
