Four years of waiting. Four years of questions.
Denver’s Vine Street Pub & Brewery, which closed because of the pandemic on March 17, 2020, along with every other restaurant, bar and brewery in Colorado, said Thursday that it had made plans to finally reopen this spring.
Vine Street Pub & Brewery is opening on May 15th,” the business wrote on its Facebook page. “We are currently hiring for all positions.”
Three other pubs that are part of the Boulder-based Mountain Sun group were able to open in 2021, while a fourth, the Mountain Sun Pub in Boulder, stayed closed for two years.
At the time, company co-founder and owner Kevin Daly said that was because of the difficulty of hiring employees and because it didn’t make sense to open until they were ready.
Vine Street Pub, 1700 Vine St., remained closed to the public, however, even after the company began brewing there again to supply its other restaurants.
Founded in 1993, the Mountain Sun group has carved out its own niche over the decades as one of Colorado’s oldest continuously-existing breweries. The establishment doesn’t have TVs and it doesn’t take credit cards. But its award-winning beer and food menu keeps people coming back.
Vine Street Pub opened in 2013 in Denver and has been a favorite ever since, so frustrated fans on social media have been anxiously asking questions for four years.
This is a developing story and will be updated. The Denver Post reached out to Daly for comment.
