Dean Ween Sets Opening Date For New Weed-Friendly Music Venue In Denver


Ween guitarist Mickey Melchiondo, better known as Dean Ween, recently announced his plans to open a music venue in downtown Denver, where patrons will be allowed and encouraged to use marijuana with no threat of security. Dean Ween’s Honey Pot Lounge will officially open its doors with an exclusive members-only event on Friday, April 5th, followed by the general public unveiling on Saturday, April 6th.

Officially named Dean Ween’s Honey Pot Lounge @ V&P, the new music venue and lounge will open at Vape & Play’s 1753 S. Broadway location along Denver’s infamous “Green Mile” stretch of dispensaries. The venue will allow patrons to bring in and consume their own legally purchased or homegrown marijuana, however, the venue will not sell marijuana or alcohol. According to Jambase, the new venue will feature ongoing event series including Stoner Cinema, “Deaner’s Denver Jam,” The Devil’s Lettuce Comedy Show, and The Saturday Morning Cartoons & Cannabis Jam.

Dean Ween explains in a statement,

The HPL will be a geographic extension of my living room, my studio, and my man-cave. Being a man of impeccable tastes, I feel positive that it will serve your entertainment needs as well and make for a great hang. My mission statement and overall goal for the HPL is to re-create my personal happy place — rooms where there is something compelling available to touch, smell, stare at, or listen to at all times.

Daily passes to Dean Ween’s Honey Pot Lounge will run fans $10, which covers entrance into the intimate lounge area featuring a “bong/rig library” and free video games. Weekly passes will be available for $50, while monthly memberships cost $150 and include access to members-only events and early-bird and discounted tickets to premium and off-site events.

Monthly memberships go on sale this Friday, March 22nd, while daily and weekly passes go on sale April 1st. Monthly members will be guaranteed entrance to the venue’s grand opening celebration on April 5th, as well as a VIP pre-party for the annual 4/20 Puff Ball.
