BIG NEWS!!! ✨👀
BLACK EYE is turning a new leaf 🌿
We are CHANGING OUR NAME!
Please read ⇩
Like the iconic North Denver neighborhood that we call home, our building has a rich and robust history filled with plenty of heart and grit. Locals who grew up in the area say the building took a somewhat notorious turn during the early 1920s, becoming a haven for gambling, gangsters, and yes, back-alley boxing brawls. When Black Eye Coffee started in 2012, it gave a nod to this bare-knuckle, anything goes philosphy.
Now, after a crazy year that embraced a change of ownership, the shop is looking to evolve. Just as the old London street fights eventually became the 'gentleman's sport', the coffee shop is paying homage to its roots in old-fashioned pugilism. The Queensberry Rules were introduced in 1865 - right around the time our building was constructed - and were the framework for what we now know as the fair-fight sportsmanship of modern day boxing.
Though our name is changing, our rules of engagement won’t be. We will continue to serve everyone with sincere hospitality and an attention to detail in everything we do. At Queensberry Rules Coffee, we seek to serve an exceptional product in a beautiful, classy, and welcoming environment.
Cheers to a new chapter and welcome to QUEENSBERRY RULES COFFEE HOUSE 🙌✨
