Linger, the awesome Highlands eatery inside the former Olinger mortuary, was recently awarded Restaurant Bar of the Year by national industry magazine Nightclub & Bar.
The annual awards honor well deserving bars, nightclubs and lounges for excellence in concept development, operations, promotions and innovation.
After receiving hundreds of qualified nominations, the annual awards winners were recognized for demonstrating expertise, professionalism and sales success.
“The winners are visionaries who are instrumental in setting trends and forging the way for other hospitality venues,” said Jon Taffer, president of Nightclub & Bar Media Group and host and executive producer of Spike TV’s “Bar Rescue.” “Each of these venues, large and small, demonstrate outstanding operations where energy and creativity are on full display, ultimately earning them a winning spot.”
As the premier national nightlife awards program dedicated to recognizing and applauding excellence in bar, nightclub and lounge concept development, operations, promotion, innovation and success, the Nightclub & Bar Awards honor both individual winners and establishments, exhibiting excellence in various aspects of the industry.
Mike Henderson, Linger’s bar director, said, “I’m honored and humbled to see Linger among such great company with this year’s nominees and winners. Everyone on the Linger bar team has been working hard over the last few years to build a well-balanced bar program for our guests, and I’m flattered that not just Linger – but a restaurant in Denver – was part of the conversation for this award. It’s no secret to those that live here in Denver that our bar and restaurant scene has been exploding over the last several years. There are a ton of professional bartenders, servers, chefs, and owners all working very hard to make Denver a world-class dining and drinking destination and this award is a testament to that.”
