The restaurant: The Colorado Club, 1043 Pearl St. in Boulder,
Around: The restaurant is the latest venture from Half Eaten Cookie, the restaurant group founded by Bryan Dayton, the chef behind the acclaimed Oak at Fourteenth, Corrida, Bellota, BriDer and C Burger. The Colorado Club describes itself as a “neighborhood saloon and grill.”
The 3,200-square-foot space seats 88 people and is “an homage to the Western frontier” with “rustic decorative elements such as taxidermy and photos of old-time cowboys smoking cigarettes,” the owners said in a statement. There are also eight televisions. In the fall, the Colorado Club will open a speakeasy-style bourbon bar on the lower floor.
What’s on the menu: Pub fare and simple comfort food like burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, flatbreads, chicken wings, nachos and hash browns with green chilies.
Who cooks: Sam McCandless, executive chef and partner at Corrida, a fine-dining restaurant in Boulder. McCandless joined Corrida, a steakhouse and tapas bar, in 2021 after cooking or guest teaching at Frasca Food and Wine and other Michelin-starred restaurants.
“This isn’t complicated or fancy food – it’s food that’s comforting and delicious, made with the finest ingredients,” McCandless said in a statement. “We want our guests to come back several times a week – they can order their usual food or try something new.”
What else: The Colorado Club is open Sunday to Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Thursday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Opening date: May 28, 2024
