That this past week didn't see many openings was no surprise; the scene needed a break after 2018, another big year for restaurant openings — and closings — in metro Denver. Last year, we chronicled more than 230 openings of new restaurants and bars, ranging from Acova, which filled the big shoes left behind by Patsy's, to Zocalito, the last eatery to open in 2018.
The new year started out with a bang: Both King's Land and Lost Highway closed on January 1. And while many new spots are slated to open this year, we anticipate more closings, too.
