Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Tavern Hospitality Group just broke ground on the project that will debut as Tavern Littleton in April 2011. Last year, THG owners Frank Schultz and Terry and Al Papay purchased a building and lot at 2589 West Main Street in the heart of the historic district, where they plan to double the size of the structure and add a major rooftop patio.
This will be the sixth Tavern in a group that already includes Tavern Uptown, Tavern Downtown (and the Cowboy Lounge next door), Tavern Lowry (and the Soiled Dove Underground), Tavern Tech Center and Tavern Wash Park. And THG isn't stopping there.
Schultz is continuing work on the Tavern Congress Park, which will be taking over the former home of Neighborhood Flix at 2510 East Colfax Avenue, adding an outdoor patio and an event room. That project, too, is set for completion next year.
The company is also scouting spaces in Highland, and looking at another spot in the Ballpark neighborhood.
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.
