Satchel's on 6th will open in the next couple of weeks

Last September, Andrew Casalini shuttered his vibrant Park Hill restaurant, Satchel's Market, to make way for a new concept called Satchel's on 6th, which was originally slated to debut late last year in the Larimer Associates-owned building at 1710 East Sixth Avenue.

And after months of delays, the place is finally gearing up to open its doors some time in the next few weeks.

"They're working around the clock to get it open," says Joe Vostrejs, COO of Larimer Associates, who is partnering with Casalini on the project. "They're keeping the date close to the vest."

He says the place is as small as "Table 6 or Fruition, and really cute."

For his part, Casalini says the restaurant will be ready to start soft openings at the end of next week. And there have been some changes to the concept, which originally surrounded wine and small plates.

"It's wine-focused," the owner says. "But there'll be a full menu."
