The grand opening party for Argyll Whisky Beer, 1035 E. 17th Ave., will feature menu samples from chef John Broening’s gastro pub cuisine and cocktails from certified cicerone Ryan Conklin’s comprehensive beverage program, from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, a benefit for the Tennyson Center for Children.
“The evolution and modern boom of whiskies and craft beers tells entertaining stories rich in history,” said Argyll owner Robert Thompson. “Our goal is to celebrate those stories with the opening of Argyll Whisky Beer. Argyll’s theme is centered around the cultural and historical influences behind elevated old world pub fare, and beers and whiskies from both Colorado and around the world.”
Broening’s menu will focus on the fresher more seasonal ingredients for traditional British fare, and incorporate Britain’s “second food,” Indian.
“Argyll will provide a beer and whiskey friendly cuisine anchored in the classics of British pub food: fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, Scotch egg, the English fryup breakfast, all of which I’ve tried to rethink and freshen up,” Broening said. “We also offer a few twists on Indian cuisine, with vibrant curries and chutneys; light, clean salads including an orange olive and mint salad with a blood orange vinaigrette and a black quinoa and faro salad with roasted squash and a whole lemon dressing and an extensive housemade charcuterie program focusing on sausages, terrines, hams and pates.”
Argyll will open for regular business at 11 a.m. June 9. Operating hours will be from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
