## Caption

What does the name mean? A rougarou is a mythical cryptid and shapeshifting creature in Cajun culture; it reflects Wright and Hedges’ own ever-evolving Southern story that began in Chattanooga before moving to Denver.

Over at lerougarou, a mix of soulful Southern rock is the perfect backdrop for a space that has a lot of charm. The bar is front and center, fitting for a place owned and operated by bar pros, and it’s drawing a crowd of industry professionals, which gives it a certain kind of “I found the cool spot” buzz.
