Charlie Palmer’s District Tavern closing

On Aug. 31, the Charlie Palmer Group will close Charlie Palmer’s District Tavern and Wazee Wood Fire Pizza in the old Il Fornaio space on Wazee, its sole project in the Denver area.

“It was our intention to settle in and become part of LoDo, and, while we were unable maintain the volume needed to remain open, one thing we know for sure: it’s a great neighborhood in a great city and we enjoyed the time we spent there,” Palmer said in a statement. “At this time, I’d also like to publicly thank our local employees for their great service, particularly the invaluable part they played during the recent changes that garnered praise for their performance as well as the food including our ‘best pizza’ win.

“We appreciate those who have embraced and welcomed us to the community from the start and invite you to come in and bid adieu during our last few days.”
