Henry’s Tavern coming to the Pavilions

Henry’s Tavern, a Portland-based restaurant built on the site of the Blitz-Weinhard Brewery, will open its fifth location in the Denver Pavilions on the 16th Street Mall in August. Henry’s has other locations in the Portland Airport; Seattle, Wash., and Plano, Texas.

According to the website, “The restaurant pays homage to the Blitz-Weinhard Brewery, which brewed beer on site for more than 140 years. Henry’s Tavern, which now offers over 100 beers on tap, occupies what was once the brewery’s power house. The original brewhouse is now the dining room and bar area, the Weinhard Brewery smokestack, an iconic element preserved in the development of Henry’s, is clearly visible from the courtyard and the lounge and kitchen areas now fill what was once the malt storage building. Today, Henry’s combines its rich history with an avant garde approach to beer inspired food and a dedication to local brews, making Henry’s a true Portland OR-iginal.”

The Denver eatery serves lunch, dinner and brunch with happy hours Monday through Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to close and all day Sunday.
