Highland Tap and Burger to open at Sloan's Lake

The owners of Highland Tap and Burger are opening a new restaurant at SLOANS, a 177-acre development at Sloan's Lake. 

Tap and Burger at Sloan's Lake will have a 4,600-square-foot restaurant at Alexan Sloan's Lake, a 369-unit apartment development by Trammell Crow Residential.

"Being a part of a community is super important to us, and this project really lends itself to embracing the Sloan's Lake community," says Juan Padro, who with his wife, Katie O'Shea-Padro, owns Highland Tap and Burger. "We were encouraged, as I hope others will be, by the fact that we have a compelling opportunity to contribute to the future growth of such a dynamic neighborhood. It's a super-active area -- you've got apartments, homes with backyards, a great walkability factor, the park and the lake that's bolstered by a ton of football traffic and thousands of cars that use Colfax to get in and out of downtown."

The new restaurant will have 230 seats, a raised patio, a centerpiece island bar and private dining area with capabilities to host business functions and meetings. Padro plans to continue focusing on Colorado craft beers and spirits and will offer 36 to 40 draft handles, alongside wine and cocktails. The core menu items at the original location will remain as Padro and his crew introduce new dishes.
