Popular Denver Irish bar shuts down after reorganization fails
Time and luck ran out for Katie Mullen’s.
The Irish pub in downtown Denver shut down Wednesday night, a move that put the cavernous, 10,885-square-foot restaurant space back in the hands of Chartres Lodging Group, the San Francisco-based investment firm that owns the Sheraton Downtown Denver Hotel at 1550 Court Place.
Thursday morning, the closure was noted on the restaurant’s Facebook page in a post that invited patrons to Katie Eiles at Orchard Town Center in Westminster.
Katie Mullen’s owner, Northwest Bars Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Jan. 26. Owner Paul Maye told the Denver Post then that Katie Mullen’s fought an uphill battle from the time it opened in early 2009: The recession severely limited financing options and new 16th Street Mall competitors such as the Yard House siphoned away customers.
