Pig’N Whistle
Long in a state of disrepair, Eddie Bohn’s Pig’N Whistle Hotel/Motel
on W. Colfax caught fire last night.
Originally opened by larger-than-life boxer Eddie Bohn in the ’20s,
it was updated and added to over the years, until finally closing in 1991.
This was a particularly bad graffiti day a couple of years ago.

I used to eat at Eddie Bohn’s Pig N Whisle after playing with my Dad’s band at the Moose at 7th and Sheridan, or at the VFW 501 just down colfax a few blocks,back in 1980, 81, 82. It was small but they had good food and always treated us with the best service. I was just telling my new wife about the Pig N Whistle and was looking forward to visiting upon our move back to Colorado. Too bad it burned down. I was not even aware it closed in 91, been out of the area for 30 years.
