Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Six-year-old music venue Casselman's will close in River North after shows this Saturday and Sunday — and with it, the neighborhood will also lose some prime barbecue. Sons of Scullery Gourmet BBQ operated out of the music hall, serving up tasty pork, brisket and ribs to fans of live music and good 'cue alike.
We'll miss the mustard-hued Carolina pulled pork, which was good enough to land the Sons on our 2015 list of the Ten Best Barbecue Joints in Denver — and they also made some damn fine deep-fried corn bread. Although the Sons of Scullery website mentions that the team operates a cart on the 16th Street Mall, we were unable to reach them to see if they have plans to continue.
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.
