The Story
First opened as a funeral parlor in 1906, this building spent most of its life as The Pink Lady Bar in Denver, Colorado. The Pink Lady, a notorious clip joint, was converted into Shelby's, which intended to be an English pub in 1979.

As the legend goes, everyone mistook Shelby's for an Irish bar, and by 2016 Esquire Magazine featured the bar as one of America's 18 Best Bars. But unfortunately, when the last owners bought the bar, they didn't buy the land, and developers had put some big plans in motion in 2019.

The building was torn down and replaced with Denver's largest condo project since 2009, tentatively named Block 176. Going up would be two point-towers built on top of a nine-story base. The taller south tower would be 38 stories, while the north tower would be 32.

The Grill and Bar signs on the building had dated back to The Pink Lady days, and bartenders called 'last call' for the final time at Shelby's on June 23, 2019.
