Atomic Provisions wanted to be ahead of the game in Golden before the new CoorsTek redevelopment transforms its downtown. The restaurant group, which owns Denver Biscuit Co., Fat Sully’s and Atomic Cowboy, plans to open all three brands at 1100 Washington Ave. this summer. “Golden is a hot place to live, and it really covers us too for Arvada and Lakewood and gives us a Western location far enough from Tennyson,” said Atomic Provisions owner Drew Shader.

Just minutes after opening its doors Friday afternoon, Cerebral Brewing’s new weekend-only taproom was already full.

A new restaurant is planned for a downtown space that’s been empty for over two years. The Velvet Cellar, which aims to be an approachable wine and cocktail lounge, will open at 1500 Wynkoop St., near Union Station in LoDo. The 4,000-square-foot space was formerly home to Chow Morso Osteria, which closed in November 2020 after two years, and the Squeaky Bean for five years before that. “It’s a nice wine bar with spirits and beer, but it’s also going to have a great, from-scratch menu,” executive chef Todd Bobrovicz said of the concept.
