Carl’s Tavern has new owners, kind of. Collin Kelley has bought Carl’s Tavern back. He used to own it, but he sold it seven and a half years ago.
“We’re really excited to come back to where it all began. Things have really come full circle. We’re just excited to get in and recreate the magic that we had with Carl’s back in the day and get all the locals back in.”
Carl’s is at 7th and Yampa. It has been shut down since early May. Kelley says he plans to re-open around Thanksgiving. The menu will still have “American comfort food,” all made from scratch. They’ll have a Happy Hour and be open for lunch and dinner.
There will be a new name but Kelley says it won’t be announced quite yet as he is finalizing trademark permission with the Secretary of State’s office for the rights to use that name.
Kelley also owns Primrose Restaurant and helps oversee the management of Slopeside and Los Locos.
