8 Rivers, Scott Durrah’s modern Caribbean restaurant that opened last October at 1550 Blake Street (after a successful stint in a much smaller spot at 3609 West 32nd Avenue, now occupied by Venue), is changing its hours for the winter. And they’re very ishy.

The restaurant, which also bills itself as a rum bar, is increasingly popular as a politically aware LoDo hangout, and that’s reflected in the winter hours: 8 Rivers is dumping lunch, at least until May, and will open at 4:30 p.m. every day — with happy hour running until 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday — and stay open until 10ish Monday through Thursday, 11ish Friday and Saturday, and 9ish Sunday. Fair warning: the web site has yet to be updated to reflect these changes.
