The W was a cocktail bar and burger joint on 5001 E. Colfax Ave., in a property with a green-tiled exterior whose last tenants were Crush Wing + Tap and The Elm. Carrie and Ernest Wigglesworth and two partners opened their business in 2024 as a dining opportunity for their neighborhood that wasn’t selling pizzas but burgers, sandwiches, craft beer on tap and cocktails.
“While we hoped for a different outcome, the challenges of today’s economic and business climate have made continuing unsustainable,” the Instagram post read. “Thank you to everyone who supported us, spent time with us and helped make The W what it was. We will always be grateful for this community.”
