Clever Girl is expected to make its official debut in April, but the space "will be open regular hours for now with rolling closures as needed for construction," Schmitz notes. Current food vendors Uptown & Humboldt and Sushi Kuro will continue to serve, but there are a lot of big changes in the works.
The biggest change of all, of course, is the focus on dinosaurs, and readers have a lot to say about that move in their comments on the Westword Facebook page. Says Butch:
Tell me you're desperate without telling me you're desperate ....Adds Amber:
Denver developers love to do dumb shit. imagine seeing the catastrophic failure of Rainforest Cafe and being like "heII, yeah, bro — let's bring it back with dinosaurs!"Responds Shelley:
I love dinosaurs with the same excitement as small children love them. I can’t wait.Offers Michael:
That place is a relic of the 2010s boom...still feels like the old warehouses I worked in as a teenager, or where i folded newspapers for minimum wage. Eating there feels like i am on my half-hour lunch.Notes Jon:
Would probably go over better if they just sold artisan bread, $9 lattes and PBR. Look at the neighborhood clientele, ya morons. This concept will probably be their ultimate demise. I do miss the lobstah rolls.Concludes Robin:
A marketing scheme 65 million years in the making.What do you think of the plans to transform the Zeppelin Station into Clever Girl? (That's a reference from Jurassic Park, by the way). Will dinosaurs draw in the crowds? Post a comment or share your thoughts at [email protected].
