The Blue Bonnet opened it's doors in the 1930's and was one of the first restaurants in Denver to obtain a liquor license after prohibition. When the restaurant first opened for business, the Broadway streetcars ended at the restaurant's corner. The Blue Bonnet was originally opened as an American Cafe started by the Bolte family who had a connection to Texas, hence the name, Blue Bonnet, after the Texas State flower.
