Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Aroma Cafe lasted less than a year at 2017 South University Boulevard -- but the brothers who've taken over the space have a restaurant record that stretches back more than twenty years.
Kevin and Craig Caldwell, the partners behind Brooklyn's (both the original and the one by the Pepsi Center), have taken over the space, where they plan to open Crimson and Gold, a campus-oriented restaurant (those are the University of Denver's colors).
And that means they'll need a liquor license, so they'll be at the Wellington Webb building tomorrow for a 1:30 p.m. hearing on their liquor-license application.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
