Atlantic Club Denver Tour 

Atlantic Club Denver Tour 

We’ll be introducing senior operators and entrepreneurs from the UK and US to the hottest restaurants, food halls and bars, experiencing innovative concepts and importantly meeting the inspirational founders and leaders driving one of the States’ most vibrant food and drink scenes.

Bringing together like-minded, curiosity-driven hospitality folk from both sides of the pond is at the heart of what Atlantic Club is about - exchanging ideas, making lasting connections.

Here’s what we have in store...

Day 1 - Wednesday 4th June

We’ll gather at the Limelight, our tour hotel at 5.00pm local time, before heading off to one of Denver’s coolest venues.

Our welcome reception is at Sunday Vinyl, from Frasca Hospitality Group, where fine wine combines with music from vinyl on the turntable.

We’ll meet and hear from founder Bobby Stuckey, one of Colorado’s most influential restaurateurs (and recently named one of the 50 most powerful fine dining players in the US).

Then it’s away to Fogo de Chão for wine and wagyu. The full-service Brazilian steakhouse brand is growing fast across the US and internationally - and we’ll see what high-quality, high-volume service execution looks like.

We’ll end our first day with a nightcap at Ghost Donkey, a signature mezcal and tequila bar operated by Flagship Restaurant Group. This stop will offer insight into niche beverage concepts and how late-night businesses operate in Denver.

A behind the scenes tour of Tavernetta, Frasca Hospitality’s upscale Italian concept will be followed by seeing how a UK-created brand is faring States side. We will meet Toby Harris, CEO of State of Play, at Flight Club, and hear how the US is taking to the experiential offer - and yes there’ll be time for a game of ‘arrows’.

First stop of the evening will be sushi tasting at Uchi and tour this high-end Japanese concept with Tony Montero, CEO of Hai Hospitality.

Next up is sunset at Sorry Gorgeous, one of the highest and coolest rooftop bars in town for stunning skyline views and handcrafted cocktails - with owner Juan Padro, CEO of The Culinary Creative.

Day 3 - Friday 6th June

Breakfast is at Olive and Finch - a counter-service all-day operation, part of a family of eateries and cafés featuring chef-crafted gourmet fare made fast and affordable. The business is led by chef and restaurateur Mary Nguyen, a leading champion of both sustainability and diversity.  

Then it’s on the bus for brunch The Hampton Social. This growing national brand serves up a case study in lifestyle dining.

We end the day with a bus tour out to Cherry Creek, where we'll take in Quality Italian, another upscale Italian concept in growth, The Clayton – a premium members’ club and Denver’s answer to Soho House and finally cocktails at Aya Papi, Juan Padro's Puerto Rican and Latin culture inspired bar. 

And that’s it - time to relax. 

It’s a 2.30pm finish for everyone to get their flights home - or to stay a little longer to explore more of Denver.
