Casa Bonita isn’t the only landmark restaurant that has yet to reopen in metro Denver. But while some owners have definitely given up the ghost, others, like Casa Bonita s Robert Wheaton, promise that they ll be back.
While all five restaurants owned by Mountain Sun Mountain Sun, Southern Sun and Under the Sun, all in Boulder, along with the Vine Street Pub in Denver and Longs Peak Pub in Longmont are closed, and will remain so for the foreseeable future, until the vaccine allows bars and restaurants to operate with fewer restrictions, their owners promise to return. “We’ll be back,” Mountain Sun co-owner Kevin Daly told Jonathan Shikes. “All five locations will be back, and we can’t wait to have a Stout Month when people can kiss and hug and make out and have a beer at the bar with their friends.”
