On the corner of 15th and Market is where you will find Chloe. A jet-setting, New York fashionista, who has planted her roots in Downtown Denver to share her experiences from all around the world. The culmination of her travels has manifested into three distinct spaces in one venue. These include the Mezze Lounge, Garden, and Discotheque.

A breezy and sophisticated Mezze Lounge appeals to a variety of guests seeking a hip, upbeat venue with deliciously affordable fare. “Mezze” is defined as a small plate in Greek, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cuisine. These dishes range from traditional Fattoush, unique salads, flatbread pizza, hummus, and a variety of kabobs specially crafted by Executive Chef Jose Guerrero. The plates are small and designed to be shared and experienced together. To accompany this, Chloe provides a variety of light, refreshing, and fun specialty cocktails such as the Conte de Fee (meaning fairy-tale in French), the Ginger Garden, and the Melon Margarita. It’s the perfect atmosphere for happy hour and early night cocktails.

After dinner, take a stroll through Chloe’s garden. This 2,000 square foot space will feature high-top fire pits, a large water fountain feature, and an outdoor bar to keep you cool and refreshed during the summer months. The Garden provides a small sanctuary for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Market Street.

Next, venture into Chloe’s discotheque, which was designed to be more European in feel with rich design textures from floor to ceiling. The discotheque boasts a custom-made sound system, never-before-seen 22 foot LED wall, and 20 coveted tables reserved for Denver’s elite. The music is a combination of Top 40, mash ups, and vocal house that will be mixed nightly by the country’s top DJ’s and celebrity hosts. Because of the limited capacity, bottle service reservations are required or guests need to be on the High-Profile guest list.

Chloe is the place where Denver’s celebrities, scenesters, business professionals, and trendsetters alike can come together in one place.

Denver Happy Hour @ Venice

The Co-Host for the Octobers’ Denver Happy Hour is Karl Bebendorf, Physical Therapist/Owner, Atlas Physical Therapy (Located in Uptown). I met Karl at one of the Huge Happy Hour events in the DTC area. Since then he’s become a friend and also helped me with a recent knee injury. I initially tried my primary care physician and they couldn’t figure it out. Lots of swelling on the exterior side and above the knee cap for 4 months or so. My friend suggested to see Karl and he cured me immediately. Guess my IT Band was weak from walking around so much in heels..and the interior was pulling my knee cap out of place. My knee is happy…I’m happy… Physical Therapy works..Glad I didn’t need surgery! Hope to see you at Venice!

On Spain's Costa del Sol, located between Malaga and Marbella, sits a quiet little mountain village called Mijas.

During the summer of 1969, after having been made famous by James Michener's novel The Drifters, Mijas had become an expatriate community of writers and poets. On lazy afternoons, these expats would gather at their favorite bar - one without a name, recognizable only by the number nine that was carved into the door.

Behind the 9th door, they would imbibe on the local wine and brandy and share the tapas of the house, trading stories and reciting poetry to the local women until the early hours of the morning.

Ghost Plate & Tap pairs the culinary pleasures of a contemporary American café with the vintage charm of an established, big-city tavern.



Our place is an open kitchen, wood & green leather oasis. It resembles a Fifties/Sixties era hangout you visited as a kid with your very cool uncle in Chicago or old Denver.



It's a comfortable, unpretentious classic complete with counter seating and a throwback, horseshoe-shaped bar. Call it Urban Pioneer meets “Mad Men” and New West Professional, with a shot of politics and courthouse conversation on the side.



The Ghost Plate & Tap menu features a mix of old-school culinary classics, up-to-date eclectic dishes and elevated bar standards. A few favorites from the Wynkoop/ Breckenridge eateries honor some hospitality trailblazers in our own family tree.



Our beverage menu showcases 21st century cocktail culture and exceptional (and largely local) craft beer. The drinks list holds everything from updated versions of time-tested drinks to innovative refreshers built with local spirits, house-made mixers and fresh ingredients and ideas.



Our goose-bumping beer list is highlighted by a mix of liquid art from our twin breweries, Breckenridge Brewery and Wynkoop Brewing Company. Those beers are joined by a thoughtful mix of world-class beers from our favorite local and national peers. Breweries we know and love who think and operate like we do. It’s a beer list that wasn't possible in Colorado until the past few years.



In addition to celebrating great food, bar and tavern culture, we like to pay homage to Denver’s past and our circa 1890 Ghost Building's history.



So our food & drink menus offer nods to recent heroes who saved our building from destruction, and bygone pioneers who brought Denver’s saloon and hospitality trade to life

Hi, my name is Antti-Pekka. I moved to Denver two and a half years ago and find it to be a very friendly little town. On my free time I enjoy rock climbing, salsa dancing, and long walks on the beach.

I work as a physicist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the National Bioenergy Center. Our goal is to reduce the cost of ethanol that you put in your car’s tank every time you fill up. Instead of corn-based ethanol, we make ethanol out of plants and brushes that grow anywhere. The challenge in doing this is to know how to economically break down the strong cellulose backbone that holds plant cells together. At NREL, we use supercomputers to study the structure of cellulose to learn the best way to break it down. My job is to write the supercomputer software that is used in these studies.

Welcome Letter To Our Neighborhood Family

In October of 2009 Kris, Kevin and Brad invited me (Juan) out to Denver to look at a space in the Lower Highlands called Aztec Sol; it was a place that they felt was in the right place at the right time for a new venture with an owner, Elvira who was as kind to us as a shot of tequila on a lonely night. The trip lasted 3 days and included a Patriots loss to the Broncos and a Rockies defeat at the hands of the Phillies, both on the coldest day on record in October in the state of Colorado. While bitter about the events and weather from that weekend I headed home to talk to my wife (the boss) about a possible investment opportunity and a move across country from Massachusetts to Colorado, a place Katie had never even been before. A couple of months passed and there was very little communication between the representatives of Aztec Sol and our group so we thought it was a dead deal and began to look around Denver for other options. Then we got the call and by January of 2010 it was time to introduce Katie to the great state of Colorado. And the weather gods were certainly on our side as she drove around the city on one of those sunny winter days when people were out in the parks and the city was rampant with activity. The weather, the people and the hospitality that Kris, Kevin and Brad bestowed upon us made the decision very easy. The ensuing months were spent on weekly conference calls with the group, trips back and forth from Massachusetts to Colorado and Kris, Kevin and Brad working diligently with Matt Ward and his InWard Charles General Contracting Company and Scott Giles, our Architect and now friend to put together the plans that resulted in what you see today.

In June we broke ground and while there were a few hiccups along the way we were able to execute and hit most of our timelines. But June was our most significant month for another reason; it was when we convinced our chef, Elijah Odell to join our team. It was an interesting process to say the least, as Eli is a classically trained chef with a fine dining background. Our concept, we told him, was to put some of the flavor profiles he found in fine dining in between the bun in a casual pub style atmosphere where people could watch a game, get something other than a bunch of fried food and processed meats and enjoy a pint of Colorado Craft beer. We told him about our approach which was family first, customer centric and team oriented. Fortunately for us Eli agreed it was indeed the right concept at the right time and in the right neighborhood. We are so very blessed to have him leading our efforts in the kitchen.

The final piece to the puzzle was figuring out how to come up with an approachable beer list that men and women, beer geeks and the curious consumer would all find appealing. It would be criminal not to take a few moments to thank the teams from Avery, New Belgium, Lefthand Brewery, Bristol Brewery, Tommyknocker, Odell, Ska and Oskar Blues for their unyielding support. They have spent countless hours educating our staff, taking us on brewery tours at their locations and providing us with endless amounts of word of mouth support. It’s our hope that we are able to introduce you all too some cool and unique beers that these world class breweries make right here in Colorado. They are part of our family and we are excited for what the future of our relationships holds.

So I’ll fast forward to today which has given us all as a group an opportunity to reflect upon this venture. As a group we’ve had an opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people in the best neighborhood in Denver, hands down. We have received a lot of positive feedback, some pats on the back and some much needed constructive criticism all of which has helped us and will continue to help us grow as a business. We are more grateful than any of you will ever know. It’s our hope you’ll enjoy a few casual nights with us and take some time to get to know our staff and your neighbors at The Tap.

Respectfully,

Juan, Katie, Kevin, Kris and Brad

“I grew up in Colorado since fall of 1980 as an immigrant from Viet Nam. I remember when my mom purchased our very first home computer in 1990s, it was an IBM PS/2 Personal Computer. As a pre-teen, I became very fascinated about the inner-working components of a computer and fortunate for me, I had one to mess around. I spent nights and days reading technical documents, tearing down each component to study it further. Needless to say, my social interaction with human beings was lacking due to my insane passion for computer electronics. I intended a vocational college in Denver, soon after graduation; I began my I.T. career with contracting DOI as a Help Desk Technician and eventually moved my way up the corporate ladder now as a Systems Architect for Policy Studies, Inc.



Policy Studies, Inc. is a Denver based company located in LoDo. This organization provides outsourcing programs for Child Support and Government Health Services nationwide for State and Local agencies. Policy Studies, Inc. first outsourcing operation intuitive was for the 10th Judicial District for the state of Tennessee Child Support office. As a matter of fact, this operation was the first of its kind in the nation and is still maintained by Policy Studies, Inc. after 20 years of service.



I’m also a volunteer for a local charity called “Bridging Hope”. Bridging Hope is a Colorado Non-Profit organization whose mission is to provide assistance to indigent, ill, disadvantage and disabled women and children in Viet Nam both by raising awareness of their needs among citizens of Colorado and other Americans, and by creating opportunities for charitable giving to support programs and projects in Viet Nam.

+ More About Blake Street Vault

Given Blake Street Vault's proximity to the LoDo Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant, I braced myself for an overly enthusiastic after-work crowd during a recent visit.

Perhaps it's the lack of a sidewalk clapboard announcing the specials or the absence of neon signs, but the Vault lives up to its name as an almost-secretive, surprisingly cool, and quiet place. Inside, it feels like a bar you'd find a few blocks off the beaten path, not on it.

We opted for the tall, dark booths next to exposed brick walls, and I promptly ordered a schooner of Sierra Nevada. The 18-ounce glass goblet is so heavy I had to use both hands to swill it.

But the Vault is very much a Jack Daniel's bar. A glass case filled with various bottles of Jack greets you on the way in, and large Jack barrels line the bar. Friday and Saturday nights (from 6 to 9 p.m.) feature tastings of the popular whiskey.

Happy hour runs 4 to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Food specials include $1.75 wild boar (yes, boar!) sliders, 75-cent hot wings (made using Jack), and $2 fried cheese curds (be warned---it's a very big basket). Check the Web site for happy-hour drink specials, which change weekly. ~ 5280.com

I still continue to learn and experience more about art, design and fashion. I realize that the talent to create a special room is innate, but knowledge and experience bring greater efficiency, and the ability to communicate with all the trades necessary to make our vision become a reality!

+ More About Aria


What began as an Opus is now elevated to an Aria. The team that opened Littleton’s award-winning Opus Restaurant eight years ago has unveiled their new sister restaurant Aria at 250 Josephine Street in Cherry Creek North in December 2010.


While an opus refers to any artistic work on a grand scale or a set of compositions by a particular composer, aria meaning “air” in Italian, is an operatic term for an extended voice solo, or a melody. Together these restaurants form a complementary pairing bound with Chef Michael Long’s inspired New American cuisine.


Chef Long and his culinary team preside over a menu that combines updated classics, cutting edge new creations and a special chef’s tasting menu. Aria is open for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch and provides a reasonably priced fine dining experience. Aria’s menus include updates of Chef Long’s most notable dishes and many new creations that highlight his playful yet intricate culinary philosophy.

+ More About Rack & Rye

Rack & Rye Gastropub is an amped-up watering hole serving comfort food with a global twist. The cuisine pays homage to foods that bring back memories of happy childhood; foods that are cheesy, warm, gooey and crispy. It is big food with big flavor.

The vibe is chill, laid back and welcoming, and encourages guests to stay and enjoy a quick crisp beer or hanging out long into the night in the company of witty repartees, helped along, no doubt, by drinks with a little zip in them. It’s a place where you can come to kick up your heels, relax and linger over good food and drinks.

The décor is urban comfort meets industrial chic with a little feisty chinoserie thrown in; rich walnut-stained white oak and rustic steel provides a welcoming embrace, and touches of bold eccentricity with a dash of amped-up traditional modernize the age-old appeal of the corner pub.

Amendment XXI was opened in December 2010 by my husband, Leo Bortolotto, and me, Shannon Johnson-Bortolotto. The pervasive idea when opening Amendment XXI was to interface with the Lower Highlands/Highlands/Lodo Neighborhoods to deliver amazing service surrounding wine, craft beers and spirits. We opened with the intent of offering wine education, product guidance, and palate expansion through our stock selections and weekly tastings. Leo is also an excited consultant when matching our wines, beer & spirits with cuisine. We also wish to maintain wine culture as a basis for great entertaining and dining throughout the North Denver Neighborhoods! We are highly involved in neighborhood expansion opportunities through Highland United Neighbors Inc. (HUNI) and support local businesses. We proudly live in Lower Highland and welcome the opportunity to establish friendships and provide business service for our neighbors!

In addition to the wine shoppe, I am an Advanced Practice Nurse at the University of Colorado Hospital and function as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in critical care. My career in healthcare has afforded me many opportunities to serve those most critically ill throughout the state of Colorado as well as neighboring states of Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas. My work in the wine shoppe is an incredible balance to my highly technical and scientific life at the hospital. I look forward to helping those who wish to entertain, attend social events or just relax at home when in the shoppe. I have learned that balance is the key to a long and happy life and we hope to add to north Denver’s cultural spirit and vigor through impressive wine, craft beers and spirits!

A block west of I-25, near the 15th Street bridge, Forest Room 5 is just hip enough to be cool without being trendy. With its dim lighting and candles on the tables, this upscale neighborhood spot attracts a youthful crowd most days of the week, especially on the weekends. While the place is spacious and houses a few different rooms, some of which can be rented out for private functions, it still retains a fair amount of intimacy, and it's easy to find a spot to have a private conversation. In addition to cocktails, wine and beer, Forest Room 5 serves a full menu that includes seared ahi tuna sliders, mini-burgers, bruschetta, pizza, mac-and-cheese and more. ~ Westword

June 17, 2009 VP, Lotus Concepts, 303.332.5256





“Oak Tavern sets root in Lotus Concepts Family Tree”

Lotus Concepts continues to keep up with the Country’s trends. An American Bar in the “heart of the city” gives residents a fresh reason to unwind on Market Street.



DENVER, Colo. June 17, 2009--- Lotus Concepts presents the latest addition to Market Street, a unique yet relaxed place tailored for the Market Street patrons. The location formerly known as Monarck, is undergoing a complete metamorphosis this June 2009. Lotus Concepts owner Francois Safieddine said, “Due to the current economy, Americans have become more fiscally responsible and have taken a more casual approach when unwinding in their free time. Taking that into consideration we developed a concept focusing on delivering a phenomenal product that coincides with this current trend.” Unlike Lotus’ other well-regarded enterprises, Oak Tavern offers a distinctive product and atmosphere that splashes American flavor on traditional style while keeping up with America’s current casual vibe. Oak Tavern will draw the desired demographic because of its masculine worn-in setting encouraging socializing, drinking, eating and entertainment. Oak Tavern invites patrons to throw on their favorite pair of jeans, walk over to gather at this popular, local, casual spot to enjoy specialty mixologist created drinks and grab a bite at the bar.

This reconceptualization serves to diversify and expand Lotus Concepts portfolio, which currently focuses on nightlife concepts: Suite Two Hundred, 24K and restaurant/ lounge: 5 Degrees. “This project is a glimpse into the big picture. Lotus Concepts’ portfolio aims to extend to restaurants, bars, night clubs and hotels,” says Safieddine.

The intent of this venue is to offer a place for patrons to kick back and relax. In order to create this experience, Oak Tavern provides key components including, drink, food, design, music and entertainment.

Oak Tavern’s goal is to take the bar concept to another level by providing an unmatchable product to clients. This is being done by introducing three unique novelties. Safieddine flew in a mixologist, Jason Girard from Phoenix working directly under Francesco Lafranconi currently working on the Four Seasons’ drink menu in Hawaii, to concoct 40 “one of a kind” beverages. All of which includes 16 signature cocktails and a customized shot menu that features 24 specialty shots. A perfect example to describe this would be to compare it to a fine dining restaurant that brings in a world renown chef. The house favorite is the White Gummy Bear shot (Skyy Pineapple, Triple sec, sweet and sour and Sprite.) A draft beer selection will be available as well with a signature “Oak Tavern” draft beer. To accommodate the tavern concept, Safieddine built a kitchen and tailored a menu serving light food items. Popular menu items that stand out are Oak Tavern’s baked potato with a variety of toppings, pressed sandwiches and salads. Not only are the menu items exclusive but they are healthy.

(MORE)

Oak Tavern showcases designs master crafted by designer, Jeffery Elliott. Elliott’s stately reputation and attuned attention to detail allow Oak Tavern to set root on Market Street. Elliott incorporates the bar name in the design by using dark wood. Elliott captures a traditional theme with a palette of designs including; bull horns on the comfortable distressed leather U- shaped booths, animal antlers, wood columns, a massive wooden bar and 12 high definition 52 inch flat screens strategically placed for patrons giving the space an authentic tavern feel.

Another element that creates Oak Taverns ambience is the music genre. Adult contemporary, world class rock and top 40 will be played at a low, non-interfering level. The atmosphere is set for patrons to be able to socialize at a comfortable level. The flat screens will show top 40 music videos and other visuals including classic movies. In addition to the visuals Oak Tavern’s projector screen will be showing all major sporting events including pay per view specials.

The staff at Oak Tavern delivers impeccable service armed with a hand selected employees who demonstrate warmth, graciousness, efficiency, knowledge, professionalism and integrity. “When we hired the staff we really wanted to create a “Cheers,” environment, individuals who want to have fun but still have Oak Tavern’s brand instilled within them,” said Safieddine. “The staff has the power to make it casual and friendly. We want it to be a place that patrons will call their second home.” Shooter, a Denver native and local bartender is friendly enough to know everyone’s first name but at the same time gives Oak Tavern customers a fun yet casual experience. Oak Tavern is open 7 days a week, 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

(MORE)

Nesting above Oak Tavern resides another one of Lotus Concepts venues, 24k. This is a more high end, boutique club that goes in a more exclusive direction which caters to the A-List crowd. 24k remains as a bottle service night club featuring some of Denver’s top DJ’s playing Top 40 mash-ups, hip hop and house. Typical of a night club, 24k, is open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 9 p.m. Due to the opening of Oak Tavern 24K will now be open Wednesday- Saturday.

Location Oak Tavern is located on Market Street nestled within Larimer Square neighborhood, popular restaurants, sports arenas and the 16th Street Mall. Safieddine and team deemed 1416 Market the best location for a venue of this nature. Oak Tavern aims to cater to Lotus’ sustained loyal clients, new residents to Denver, college students, the service industry crowd, guests who are traveling and the more casual patrons who frequent downtown.

Concept “An American bar in the heart of the city,” is a place where the everyday, social but casual patron will opt to spend their free time. Oak Tavern showcases three renovated areas emphasizing comfort and relaxation while providing a customized cocktail and shot menu created by a mixologist, draft beer and a personalized crafted beer named after the venue. A food menu featuring light items will be available. Oak Tavern also provides entertainment with 12 high definition 52 inch flat screen televisions. Each patron will be sure to connect on a personal level with one or more of the design aspects.

Details Oak Tavern is located at 1416 Market Street. The grand opening weekend events are scheduled to start July 9, 2009. For more information contact Paulina Szafranski at 303.332.5256.

Stressed by having space that doesn’t work for you?

Having a space that isn’t working for you can be stressful. Nobody wants to

think about tackling the boxes in the attic that have sat unpacked for five

years or the office that is all but unusable. It’s hard to know where to

begin and you can waste a lot of energy fretting about it.

That’s where I come in.

My job as a personal organizer is getting your personal areas of concern

under control. I will help you deal with the disarray, and create a

personalized system that is manageable for you and your lifestyle.

Let me help you determine what is no longer useful, what you’ve been

missing, and what can get a second life with someone new. You’ll be

surprised at how clearing out the clutter in your home or office, clears out

the clutter in your mind.

Give yourself permission to ask for help and find the time you never knew

you had.

You’ll be so glad you did.

In Short – A simple number "9" welcomes patrons to this ultraglam LoDo bar-restaurant-lounge. The interior is swathed in flickering candlelight, luscious red hues and gorgeous fabrics, like paisley-patterned banquettes. Fashionistas lounge on the satin-sheeted bed or in cushy velvet chairs, while those with an appetite head to the swanky curved bar for a smorgasbord of tapas: Spanish meatballs bathed in tomato sauce, flash-fried baby squid, chilled cured salmon and goat cheese-stuffed piquillo peppers.

+More about Japoix

Executive chef Jay Spickelmier describes the Japoix menu as French-Asian -- but not fusion. On it, he mingles sushi and sandwiches and salads with a short board of fish, chicken and duck plates. And then there are the hot rocks: smoldering granite stones that sear meats (and whatever else you want to toss on the surface) in a matter of seconds. The raw meats -- lamb sirloin, Prime New York strip and filet, and Wagyu Kobe rib-eye -- are served with sliced pineapple, rings of peppers and a pickled salad, so an order makes a meal. The interior at this spot in the Beauvallon is a sleek, clean slate of garnet, espresso and ivory hues accented by splashy modern art -- all of it local -- with a community table (a holdover from Nine75) up front in the dining room, a narrow hallway of intimate deuces on the side, and a cosmopolitan back lounge, a perfect place to enjoy the two daily happy hours.

Denver Happy Hour @ Venice Ristorante (1700 Wynkoop), Wednesday October 20th, 5:30p-7:30p

The Co-Host for the Octobers’ Denver Happy Hour is Ron Yeager, President, Sanz Corporation (new cleaning solution company). I met Ron @ Capital Grille Downtown and also @ Sushi Den. He’s always been supportive of me and what I do. He’s a smart guy with lots of businesses going. Think he’s up to 9  This month we are meeting at Venice. Alessandro, Christian, Jorge & Mario are second to none. These guys are amazing at catering to their clientele. Private parties, catering, above the ground wine cellar, great happy hour, flambe cart….yum! I’ve hosted maybe 5-6 Denver Happy Hours there and they do a spectacular job.

Co-Hosts for the Night:

Ron Yeager

Email: Yeagman1@aol.com

Ron Yeager is the recently appointed CEO and President of a new Denver based company called Sanz Corporation. Sanz Corp produces an innovative on demand cleaning solution that is environmentally friendly, cost competitive and extremely effective in dealing with most cleaning situations.

For the last ten years Ron has had an extraordinary experience as a serial entrepreneur, starting successful companies in the technology, logistics, fashion and financial sectors. In his latest endeavor he hopes to duplicate his prior success and make the Sanz product mainstream, both in the U.S. and the rest of the world.

The Sanz SolutionTM

Employing an electrostatic force to unlock dirt from any surface, the Sanz cleaning agent acts as a temporary liquid battery to convey an electrical charge to any cloth, rock, metal, wood or synthetic material surface. At the point of contact between the dirt and the surface material (the Stern layer), common electrostatic polarity is achieved, breaking the electrostatic bond.

First Improvement in ‘Soap and Water’ in Hundreds of Years

Sanz makes it possible to clean at lower costs, while complying with all environmental regulations. It is a superior cleaning agent for hospitals, hotels, schools, retail stores, entertainment venues, restaurants, office buildings and other public locations.

The Sanz Solution is comprised of two patent pending components: a device and a cleaning solution. The Charger device takes materials from disposable Cartridges, mixes the materials, induces an electrical charge and then dispenses the optimal cleaning solution into bottles and buckets. Cartridges contain either an ion solution or surfactants selected for the customer’s cleaning needs. Use of the Sanz cleaning solution also serves to sanitize the cleaned surface - instantly killing common bacteria and viruses.

+More about Venice

This second Venice from owner Alessandro Carollo is a beauty: coldly stylish, undeniably luxurious, and with a menu that reads like a primer of every good idea the Italians ever had. It's expensive, though not murderously so. It's fancy, though jacket and tie are not required. But most important, this restaurant finally offers a fitting frame within which Carollo, exec Christian Delle Fave and chef Gustavo Amaro can work their wonders with Italian cuisine. ~Westword
