LoHi restaurant closes after almost three years on Tejon Street

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:53:45 GMT

The Fifth String is playing its final tune in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood on Aug. 12. But you haven’t seen the last of the restaurant yet, according to owner Amos Watts.The former chef at acclaimed Denver restaurants Corrida, Acorn and Old Major said the space, at 3316 Tejon St., is too big for his neighborhood eatery, which is known for its fusion fare and a never-ending wine list. “The kitchen is like the size of a hotel kitchen, so we’re looking for something a little more intimate where we can do more refined food,” he added.He originally had another location lined up to move into, but plans fell through. So now, he’s back to square one and on the hunt for a smaller space. “We absolutely plan to reopen, but the problem is we have 36 employees with nowhere to go right now, so we’re frantically looking,” Watts said.Related ArticlesRestaurants, Food and Drink | New vegan bakery opening next to Cap Hill’s City O’ City ...
