Hungry for a late-night snack? You could be out of luck, unless your refrigerator is stocked. Even as most metro Denver restaurants return to full capacity and their standard hours, there s a notable exception: 24/7 diners.
All-night joints took a major hit during the pandemic. Tom s Diner, which was already planning to close in 2020 for a major project on the property at 601 East Colfax Avenue, cut its last hurrah short and never reopened after the March 2020 shutdown; the Denver Diner went dark last November and finally announced in January that it was gone for good.at least from its 740 West Colfax location.
Denver is changing fast, as people are discovering as they start going out and about in the city again. I drive down Colfax all the time, writes one reader. Noticed as they were taking apart the old PT sign..there was an older one under it. All I could see was Famous Chef. Could not find anything on this old restaurant. Can you help?
Famous Chef turned into the infamous PT s All Nude.
Sure can, thanks to Michael Roberts, who shared the story just a few months ago as the city moved forward with plans to turn the property at 8315 East Colfax Avenue, which once hosted PT s All Nude II, into a $15 million, 82-unit affordable-housing complex.
