Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
What's in a name? Wafflich, a restaurant that did not serve waffles but an Italian-style sandwich (a wafflich), has been replaced by The Pasty Republic -- which does not serve pastries, but English-style pasties. The owners are British transplants, who decided to introduce their favorite treat to the Denver area. And from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on Friday, March 21, the Pasty Republic will host a grand opening party complete with music, beverages and a deal that gets you a free pasty when you buy two.
The shop is already open, though, and photographer Danielle Lirette just stopped in to get a taste of the pasties. Here's what's in store for you at the Pasty Republic.

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.
