There is perhaps one wardrobe staple that continues to transcend any other “fashion essential” or “trend-of-the moment” piece because of its versatility and timeless appeal: a good ol’ pair of blues. They are practical, spontaneous, and blasé with significant expression, simplicity and sex appeal—everything we look for in our clothes. Nonetheless, finding “that pair” is half of the battle, and the other half is where to begin the journey, which is when Lady Reiss becomes your new best friend. Tired of the quest to find both that perfect pair of denim and sincere customer service, Lady sought to brand a new shopping concept that married a laid-back atmosphere—what better than your neighborhood pub?—with a unique shopping experience that provided an impressive selection of premium denim. This unparalleled creation became the blues JEAN BAR, which first unveiled itself to the San Francisco market in 2004 and has since opened in four more locations: Santa Monica, Chicago, Dallas, and the newly opened Cherry Creek store. Just the tagline alone, “Denim on Tap”, lends itself to the inviting ambiance that features a bona fide wooden bar where both men and women can kick back, relax and “order up” the perfect pair of blues. Perhaps it is the chalkboard menu of top denim selections that states: “‘Belly Up to the Bar and Order,’ p.s. BYOB” or the blues humming in the stereo that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in the door.

Upon entering the bar, Elizabeth, your Cherry Creek bartender, stands behind the bar and guides you through a menu of top selections from William Rast, Ernest Sewn, Chip & Pepper and several other hard-to-find premium denim labels. She then carefully decides what rise, wash, cut, style, etc. will suit your body based on your requests. Because of her keen sense of fashion and style, her unwavering patience, and her impeccable customer service, you will not leave unsatisfied or sans denim. Elizabeth strongly believes that blues JEAN BAR is “not just your ordinary store, but a destination where you can find those unique and different jeans in a homey atmosphere and have that one-of-a-kind intimate, fun shopping experience.” Now, there is no reason not to go belly up to the Bar and rock your brand new blues.
