One of the goals of this exciting revival is to give residents a place with a similar feel to Govnr’s Park, the legendary bar and restaurant predecessor that ruled the corner of 7th and Logan Street for four decades before closing in 2018 and becoming Logan Street Restaurant & Bar and later Pancho Poncho.
“Après culture in Colorado is year-round,” says Carboy Winery CEO Kevin Webber in a recent interview with The Denver Post, who aims to revitalize the nostalgia of the Old Gov’s Park.
The mantra of “you move to the mountains for the winter, but you stay for the summer,” is the vibe that Webber wants to create. In addition to ski and mountain decor, Après will have 12 big-screen TVs for Broncos, Nuggets and Avs games.
For Broken Compass, Storm Peak and Breckenridge Distillery, the space will offer them a chance to operate taprooms in the city and to further their name recognition.
For more than forty years, a Logan Street watering hole bore the name Govnr’s Park Restaurant and Tavern. Beloved by old hands and newcomers alike (Westword held its first birthday party there), the fern bar drew sports-loving crowds who came for the big screens, the big beers — 23 ounces, half-price at happy hour — and the noisy neighborhood ambiance. That era ended in 2018, when the property became the third location of Carboy Winery, complete with tasting room.
In spite of a well-executed menu and banging happy hour, Logan Street never really found its footing — the pandemic didn’t help — and switched over to Mexican concept Pancho Poncho in 2024. Now, less than a year later, the ownership group is attempting a second rebrand in the 11,000 square-foot space: Après at Govnr’s Park. The menu includes some ski-town suds, Pancho favorites…and original Gov’s Park menu items. – Denver Westword.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of the original Govnr’s Park or discovering it for the first time, Après at Govnr’s Park invites you to raise a glass to Colorado’s craft culture. With its unique blend of mountain-made spirits, local brews, and vibrant community energy, this reimagined space is set to become Denver’s go-to gathering spot for après moments all year long. Come for the drinks, stay for the vibe—the spirit of the Rockies is alive and well in the heart of the city.
Après Govnr’s Park is located at 400 E. 7th Ave in Denver, Colorado.
