We’ve been to the Thirsty Lion downtown, adjacent to Union Station, several times. We’ve enjoyed it, as you’ll read here from a previous review. When we heard they had opened another location in Cherry Creek, at 2nd and Columbine, we had to check it out. That corner spot, despite its prominent location, has been a bit of what we refer to as a Bermuda Triangle location where restaurants go in and then suddenly just disappear. The awful construction that went on in Cherry Creek North was probably to blame for Earl’s demise. But still, we wanted to check out what Thirsty Lion had done with the space and maybe send up some positive vibes to the restaurant gods in their honor.
Here’s our experience at the new Cherry Creek location, in pictures.
Thirsty Lion has happy hour every day, twice a day. And they have weekend brunch that looks pretty amazing too. Let’s hope this new location draws good crowds to remove the ghosts of restaurants past. With a decent range of prices, kids meals and a nice atmosphere, it should do mighty fine. One more pet peeve from me – turn down the music! The night we were there, the din just rose and rose. When a quieter song came on (thank you, Sam Smith), the entire noise level in the hard-surfaced restaurant just lowered. It was great, like a big exhale. Loud music just means louder voices. It just makes for a loud dining experience.
Thirsty Lion is located at 201 Columbine Street in Cherry Creek North.
