November 5, 2008Morreale heads back to the future with Sketch
Over a year after he closed the well-reviewed but poorly performing Sketch Food & Wine in Cherry Creek, it looks like restaurateur/developer Jesse Morreale is reviving the concept -- or at least the name -- on Broadway. Morreale bought the historic, decrepit and partially vacant 1st Avenue Hotel building at 101 Broadway (pictured here in 1917) earlier this year. Now he's applied for a liquor license under the name of Sketch for a spot in the corner of the building (where the notice is posted)..
December 10, 2008Happy fifth birthday to Mezcal, which will soon get a sibling
A few days ago, we noticed the sign on Jesse Morreale's new hotel/retail/restaurant project at First and Broadway, which noted that a restaurant named Sketch would be going in. Sketch, of course, was the name of Morreale's short-lived concept at 250 Steele, in the space now occupied by Tambien. But turns out, he just applied for a license at the new place under the Sketch name, and will come up with the real name later. Besides, he's got other things to do besides think of restaurant names. L
December 16, 2008Two Mezcal meetings on live-music application
Mezcal, which helped pave the way for much of the redevelopment along this stretch when it opened at 3230 East Colfax Avenue five years ago, isn't sitting still. Back in October, the restaurant applied for a "cabaret" addition to its liquor license, so that it could have live music on the premises -- including mariachi groups, DJs at some tequila-tastings and even flamenco acts in the summer -- without having to apply for a special permit. "And no, it doesn't mean that we're turning i
December 29, 2008Mezcal cabaret license hearing tonight
Mezcal (3230 East Colfax Avenue) restaurant celebrated its fifth anniversary a few weeks ago and brought in a mariachi band as part of the festivities. Owner Jesse Morreale has been bringing live entertainment to the club for the past few years, mainly on special occasions, as the city allows him to do up to ten times a year. But he has to get a permit to do so every time.
January 5, 2009Mezcal cabaret application decision due soon
After dueling meetings with business and neighborhood groups last week, Mezcal's application for a cabaret license went before a hearing officer with the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses on Monday. Supporters of the application -- which would allow owner Jesse Morreale to regularly feature live music, including mariachi bands (including the great Mariachi Vasquez), rather than just offer music at ten special occasions a year -- far outnumbered opponents. The city is expected to make a d

Sean Yontz"Hey, get up, I have something to show you," instructs Sean Yontz as he strides into Sketch, one of the five venues he oversees with business partner Jesse Morreale. And their mini-empire will soon expand to a half-dozen, because Yontz, it turns out, is booting me off my stool to show me his newest restaurant space, a 350-seater (give or take) at the corner of First and Broadway, right around the corner from Sketch. "I like doing the whole neighborhood thing, and I want to do
October 7, 2009No Big Lots skewer for Sketch
Sketch has a limited menu, but as Jason Sheehan noted in his review, what Jesse Morreale and Sean Yontz (the subject of this week's Chef and Tell) are serving there is choice. Still, when the place opened in March, we couldn't resist suggesting that -- in addition to the exotic cheeses, meats, nuts and Amarena cherries and El Rey Chocolate -- Sketch offer a skewer of the day, featuring random food items on sale at the Big Lots right across First Avenue. Sadly, the Big Lots Skewer suggest
