Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The space, Andre told me, will be "retro-y and industrial, with a roadhouse decor and automotive fixtures." As for the menu, Andre described it as "ambitious Americana with a Southern and Midwestern bent that will definitely complement whiskey and beer."
That's right, this is gonna be the kind of place where you can throw down a Jameson with your rabbit, guinea fowl or chicken livers -- and you can do it until 1:30 a.m., because that's what time the kitchen will close, not just on Friday and Saturday nights, but every night of the damn week. "I want the people in this neighborhood, which is also my neighborhood, to have a fun place to go seven days a week, early in the evening or late at night to have a whiskey, a beer and fried chicken," said Andre, who is also the exec chef.
But you'll have to hold off until early September before taking Andre up on his offer, since this Interstate won't open until sometime around Labor Day.
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.
