"A barrage of items" was thrown in the air toward officers "in the loud, chaotic scene" before protesters retreated and the encampment was broken up. Just blocks away from Columbia, at The City College of New York, demonstrators were in a standoff with police outside the public college's main gate. Video posted on social media by reporters on scene late Tuesday showed officers putting some people to the ground and shoving others as they cleared people from the street and sidewalks. By investing in and expanding the options available, he said he and his partners are helping to create a district that will cement Denver as a compelling destination nationally.

El Chapultepec, a historic jazz bar and Mexican restaurant caddy corner from Coors Field at 1962 Market St., closed in Dec. 2020 after 87 years, due to COVID and the changing economic landscape downtown. Valentes Corleons, former owner of Beta nightclub, previously planned to transform El Chapultepec into a new concept called Cantina, but after Beta’s liquor license was removed, he pulled out of the nightlife scene altogether. Riot Hospitality Group, which recently opened Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in Denver’s Ballpark Neighborhood, plans to open a restaurant and bar named Riot House next door, 1920 Market St., according to a news release. Riot Hospitality Group said with state-of-the-art immersive audio and visual installations, Riot House will host renowned DJs and have VIP bottle service for an "elevated nightlife experience." The nationwide campus protests began at Columbia in response to Israel's offensive in Gaza after Hamas launched a deadly attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7.

Throughout the week, several schools called police on protesters, leading to the arrests of hundreds across the country. Protesters have demanded schools divest campus funds from entities connected to Israel. Protests also caught on at other Colorado college campuses this week, with students and community members organizing rallies and other events from Greeley to Colorado Springs. The students’ demands are largely outside of CU Denver Chancellor Michelle Marks’ purview, Auraria officials said in the news release.

"Safety and security is our number one priority. And if we can be a part of that, and improving LoDo, we're very happy about that." Druss said it's important for them to connect with their neighborhoods to help improve safety, especially in an area like LoDo that has experienced crime in the past. The LoDo location will be the second Riot House venue for Riot Hospitality Group, mirroring its Riot House in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company also owns and operates Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row on Market Street, which opened in 2021.

It celebrated a grand opening with a New Year’s Eve party featuring a performance by Mastamonk. To reserve a VIP table for Riot House’s New Year’s Eve grand opening, visit riothouse.com. "Riot House is a cutting-edge venue that is certain to elevate the entertainment offerings in LoDo," Riot Hospitality Group CEO Ryan Hibbert said. Later, former President Donald Trump called into Sean Hannity's show on the Fox News Channel to comment on Columbia's turmoil as live footage of police clearing Hamilton Hall aired. The campus is home to the University of Colorado Denver, Community College of Denver as well as the Metropolitan State University of Denver. The arrests were made by Auraria Higher Education Center Police and the Denver Police Department.

Police broke up an encampment on the Tulane University campus early Wednesday morning that had been set up Monday evening after a march, CBS New Orleans affiliate WWL-TV reports. The school said in a statement that the "overwhelming majority of the protestors are unaffiliated with our community. ... Police have reported that at least 14 protestors have been arrested, including two Tulane students." The Arizona Daily Star says officers in riot gear and gas masks fired what they called non-lethal chemical munition weapons as they moved in on demonstrators at the University of Arizona's Tucson campus. The paper says some arrests were made, as ordered by UA President Robert C. Robbins, and shoving matches broke out between some protesters and advancing officers.

In addition, police and protesters clashed at the University of Arizona's Tucson campus, according to the Arizona Daily Star. The university has "long-standing protocols that allow for peaceful protesting" and has been working with the school community to ensure they are followed during the school year, Folt said. Pro-Palestinian protests continued at major US universities through Friday evening decrying Israel's bombardment of Gaza. But in a statement on Instagram, student organizers said administrators have engaged in “minimal, if not nonexistent” effort to engage with students and address their demands. About 350 people joined a rally Monday at Colorado State University to ask campus leaders to demand a ceasefire and divest from support for Israel’s military, the Fort Collins Coloradoan reported. Students at Colorado College walked out of class Wednesday morning in support of Palestine, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported, and approximately 250 students, faculty and alumni gathered on Tava Quad to protest.

The college “immediately restored full access for these students to residence halls, dining facilities, classrooms, and other parts of campus,” according to a statement from the school released Friday. In a news conference Wednesday morning with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, police officials said 173 people had been arrested at City College, and 109 at Columbia. "After the University learned overnight that Hamilton Hall had been occupied, vandalized, and blockaded, we were left with no choice," the school said. "The decision to reach out to the NYPD was in response to the actions of the protesters, not the cause they are championing. We have made it clear that the life of campus cannot be endlessly interrupted by protesters who violate the rules and the law." Columbia University has banned one of the students leading the university’s pro-Palestinian protests, a university spokesperson told CNN on Friday.

Remember the MTV crew that stormed Denver back in 2002, cameras in hand, ready to capture the lives of strangers sharing a house in Ballpark? Fast forward two decades, and the iconic "Real World" Denver abode is about to witness a whole new kind of reality – the electrifying, bass-thumping, bottle-popping reality of Riot House, a nightclub poised to rock LoDo's core. Druss said they've created a partnership with the city of Denver and the Denver Police Department to see how they can improve safety in the area, using what positive things they've experienced in other cities. Riot Hospitality Group is also currently developing the historic El Chapultepec space at 1962 Market St. with partners Monfort Companies, though the company isn’t ready to announce anything about it, Druss said. The proximity of its two nightlife destinations is no coincidence, said spokesperson Lissa Druss. As cease-fire negotiations appeared to gain steam, it wasn't clear whether those talks would inspire an easing of protests.

Its bottle service, in particular, stands as a testament to its commitment to luxury and exclusivity. With attentive staff ensuring a seamless experience, patrons are guaranteed the VIP treatment. Whether you’re in the heart of Arizona or the capital of Colorado, Riot House is the epitome of nightlife excellence, setting a benchmark that few can rival. Brown University, another member of the Ivy League, reached an agreement Tuesday with protesters on its Rhode Island campus. Demonstrators said they would close their encampment in exchange for administrators taking a vote to consider divestment from Israel in October. The compromise appeared to mark the first time a U.S. college has agreed to vote on divestment in the wake of the protests.

Four officers were injured, including a state trooper who was hit in the head with a skateboard, according to University of Wisconsin police spokesperson Marc Lovicott. In rarer instances, university officials and protest leaders struck agreements to restrict the disruption to campus life and upcoming commencement ceremonies. The University of Southern California needed to "act immediately to protect our community" when it came to protests on campus this week, school president Carol L. Folt said in a statement. Columbia's senate represents people on campus, including faculty, researchers, students, administration and more, according to the school's website. The body has the authority to make policies on a variety of issues that affect the school.

Enjoy the view with a brew at The Rooftop in the Tavern Ballpark, or watch the action on the field from the upper deck's purple-painted 20th row, which is exactly 5,280 feet above sea level. Denver Pavilions, a one-of-a-kind retail, dining and entertainment center, is located in the heart of downtown Denver on the 16th Street Mall. Right next door to Coors Field is McGregor Square, which shouldn't be missed by sports fans. It's comprised of three towers that include The Rally Hotel and the Milepost Zero food hall surrounding a 17,000-square-foot plaza that hosts year-round events like concerts, festivals and movie nights. This "gastrobrothel" is housed in the historic Airedale building, which has been, at various times, a brothel, peep-show parlor and adult bookstore.

Militants killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took roughly 250 hostages. Vowing to stamp out Hamas, Israel has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to the local health ministry. President Biden believes students occupying an academic building is "absolutely the wrong approach," said National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called the violence "absolutely abhorrent and inexcusable" in a post on social media and said officers from the Los Angeles Police Department were on the scene. The clashes at UCLA took place around a tent encampment built by pro-Palestinian protesters, who erected barricades and plywood for protection — while counter-protesters tried to pull them down. People threw chairs and at one point a group piled on a person who lay on the ground, kicking and beating them with sticks until others pulled them out of the scrum.
