They said the decision was difficult. They added, “We are so grateful for everyone who has supported us, worked with us, shared a meal with us, celebrated with us, and made The Tavern feel like part of the community.”
The tavern team invited the community to stop by and buy a drink before its final day of service. “Between now and May 24, we would love to see you. Come in for a meal, grab a drink, bring your friends, order your favorites, and help us make these last few weeks full of good food, good memories, and familiar faces,” read the post.
Rent Hike and Expenses Led to Tavern Closure
According to a Bizwest report, the Tavern was struggling with financial issues for the last few years. “Since we first opened with increases in costs, our rent has almost doubled,” stated Chad Young in the report.
The Tavern’s closure announcement post was flooded with heartfelt messages. One of the fans expressed their disappointment and wrote, “I’ll truly miss this place. We tried to support you guys whenever we could. Love you guys and will definitely miss seeing you when I want some of the best mac and cheese and a drink!”
With The Tavern’s closure, the Colorado community will be losing a notable spot. The Tavern looks forward to celebrating its last chapter with its fans and customers.
