DENVER (KDVR) — Business capacity limits are going away in Colorado. The state health department said the restrictions will end starting June 1. Business owners who spoke to FOX31 said they are thrilled to welcome more customers.

At Triangle Denver, a popular gay bar, co-owner Sean O’Grady said a steady flow of business is returning. 

“[Lifting restrictions] was a weight lifted off everybody’s shoulders,” O’Grady said. “People definitely were missing the mingling, and getting to talk to other people, and sit with their friends.”

O’Grady and his team are anxious to welcome the masses back to what’s known as a home for the LGBTQ+ community. They’re ready for the return of drag bingo, beer bust charity events and their famed Pride block party.

“We’re so relieved to be back to normal,” he said.

Wedding planner Erika Sandoval, of Erika Sandoval Events, is relieved as well. She’s busier than ever! As a wedding planner, Sandoval is juggling new clients along with scheduling weddings that were postponed.

She said couples no longer need to stress over a limited invite list to meet COVID restrictions.

“They’re excited, and I’m excited too,” she said.

Those who are still not vaccinated should continue wearing masks, according to health guidelines. Enforcing that, however, is not easy.

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released the following information on Monday concerning the latest public health order:
