A new concept that is an Art Deco bookstore and bar will be opening soon in Fort Collins. Blurred Words, which will be located at 1205 W. Elizabeth St, Unit I, will open in a few months, pending permits, owner Liz Sanders told What Now Denver.

Four months ago, the company posted on LinkedIn that it had secured a lease across the street from Colorado State University. It is a 1,730-square-foot space owned by Nicol Campus West, LLC, records show.

The boozy bookshop will have cocktails and light snacks behind a secret bookcase entrance, and live music events. Its theme is the 1920s and 30s, a nod to prohibition, the jazz era, and The Great Gatsby. 

Sanders has had a storied history in literature, working in many capacities over the years as a content writer, adjunct professor, book reviewer, student librarian, and bookstore manager. She is excited to bring this concept to the community.
