Churchill's Public House has opened its doors on LoHi’s hippest corner.
Described by Co-Cwner Peter Satchell as a clean-cut British pub, Churchill’s dishes up traditional pub fare such as bangers and mash; fish and chips; and shepherd's pie. The establishment, at the corner of 16th and Boulder streets, also offers a wide selection of beer from England and Scotland, as well as other European countries such as Austria, Belgium, Germany and Ireland.
"What we wanted to do was have a local pub for neighborhood people," says Satchell’s wife, Dawn Satchell, who manages the restaurant. "This corner was just so meant for us."
Long-time LoHi residents, the Satchells spent years sitting on the vacant site watching fireworks at Coors Field. Today, in addition to Churchill's, the location also is the site of
Line28 at LoHi, a 130-unit apartment building developed by Holland Residential.
Peter Satchell was working as project manager on Line28 when he decided he wanted to open a pub in the retail space. He brought in Keith Winyard as a partner and Tim Goeller as executive chef.
"We thought about this place for three years," Dawn Satchell says. "Peter did all the construction himself."
