DENVER (KDVR) — Several beloved Denver restaurants closed their doors this year, but more restaurants are announcing plans to open in the city — and some even in the same spot.
Several restaurants in Denver have closed over the year. From Noble Riot in the River North Art District to decades-old Cap City Tavern, many restaurateurs said rising costs and the city's increasing minimum wage were among the reasons for closing their doors in the city.
