Danny Newman loves Denver. He’s lived here his whole life and is passionate about helping the city grow while making sure we save what makes this city special. Danny’s dad was hired as a cliff diver at Casa Bonita in 1974 and Danny’s mom worked at Casa Bonita for a few weeks before quitting because she got hired at My Brother’s Bar. Danny now owns My Brother’s Bar and Mercury Cafe. Saving Denver institutions is in Danny's wheelhouse.
