The typical 30-day requirement for bars, restaurants to apply for modification of premises permits has been waived.

The Colorado Avalanche are going to the Stanley Cup Finals! And in honor of the various watch parties happening across Denver, the City and County has waived the 30-day requirement for bars and restaurants to apply for modification of premises permits, to expand alcohol serving areas.

However, it's important to note that not all applicants will be approved for the permits. Only bars and restaurants hosting Avs watch parties can apply.

"This was determined today after consideration that bars and restaurants did not have time to apply for this permit because they did not know the Avalanche would advance to the Stanley Cup Final 30 days ago," said Eric Escudero with Denver's excise and licenses department.

If you're interested in applying for the expansion permit, you can do so on the City of Denver website.
