A smattering of bars and restaurants popped up this week, from the third metro outpost of national chain Growler USA (a restaurant and tap room that can't actually fill growlers here in Colorado because of state liquor laws) in West Highland, to the Brutal Poodle, which takes over where the Overland closed last spring. While it's just serving drinks for now, the Poodle will soon add food. And air travelers can avail themselves of the first Smashburger at Denver International Airport; the Denver fast-casual burger chain opened a restaurant and bar in the C concourse of the airport and will soon add a second in the B concourse. Here's our complete list of openings (no closings that we know of) for the week of November 20-26, 2017:
