Denver dive bar Carioca Cafe and Bar — known by most as Bar Bar — needs help as it faces forced closures and new licensing requirements, grinding to a halt the live music events that have kept the place in business in recent years.

It’s already netted more than a third of its target funds, with $3,701 as of this writing and 87 individual backers.
