VIEWHOUSE, a new Denver eatery with a killer rooftop patio, is under construction in Denver’s ballpark neighborhood at 20th and Market Street and scheduled to open next spring.
The Denver-based corporation’s principals are Brad Manske as managing partner who has more than 20 years’ experience in the casual eatery industry along with well-established nightclub kind and restaurateur Francois Safieddine as landlord and money man.
The multilevel eatery, bar and rooftop concept includes a 6,500-square-foot restaurant, a 7,000-square-foot rooftop patio and a 7,000-square-foot courtyard.
The rooftop patio-bar will be one of the largest in the Ballpark Neighborhood offering unprecedented and unobstructed 360-degree views of the mountains and the city.
Indoor and outdoor TV screens and a variety of bar activities will cater to Denver’s biggest sports fans and casual diners
“We are excited to be the newest addition in the Ballpark District with an inclusive, chef-driven concept,” Safieddine said about chef Jose Guerrero, whose resume includes stings at Roy’s Cherry Creek and Pizza Republica. “Our outdoor patios will have some of the largest TV screens to view games and partake in the beautiful Colorado skies.”
The VIEWHOUSE menu will include bar fare classics such as burgers, the Caesar salad, Patty Melt, Philly Cheese Steak along with new interpretations of the Walnut Apple Salad, Red Bird Farms roasted chicken, Lamb Sliders and Hot Iron Seared Salmon.
The indoor-outdoor areas include spaces for Bocce Ball, volleyball, Ping Pong and other outdoor games. For information updates, sign up at www.viewhouseco.com.

Voices On High
“Share the Magic” is a Christmas song consisting of more than 40 local singing talents and a handful of musicians located in and from Colorado. The song is written and produced by Ric Podmore. View a full list of artist credits at www.voicesonhigh.org.
Just in time for the 2012 Christmas season. This is a fantastic song!
“All involved are great artists and performers,” songstress Pam Savage told me. “Everything was done gratis. All effort and concentration was put on the production, so the administrative and charitable component was put on the back burner.
“We have partnered with Giving First where each artist will choose a charity then ask the friends, fans, etc. to donate to online through www.givingfirst.org.

Happy birthday to me
My unbelievably thoughtful husband, Mr. On the Town (aka Greg Henry), not only took me to a fab lobster dinner at The Palm on Sunday, but he shocked me with the most creative gift he’s ever given to me.
I am obsessed with Kathie Lee and Hoda, as I constantly remind him. I was on the Today show set years ago when Katie Couric co-hosted with Matt Lauer because Pat Peeples, who represented Vail Resorts at the time, had an “in” because she had booked skiing trips with Lauer.
Sadly, he wasn’t on the show that day, but we got to meet Couric and Ann Curry in the Green Room.
Here’s what my husband posted on Facebook and Twitter via YouTube: “My wife Penny’s reax to getting a visit to see Hoda & Kathy Lee at the Today Show as her b-day present! I think she liked it! http://bit.ly/TDPKsa.”
Eavesdropping on two women at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club: “Would you drive 100 mph to come to see her?”
“No, but I’d drive too many miles-per-hour to get away!”
