Postino WineCafé will open its doors late next month in the former Denver Bookbinding Co. building at 2715 17th St. in LoHi.
Open daily for lunch and dinner and serving brunch every weekend, the menu features soups, salads and panini sandwiches. The restaurant will source its food and beverages from local purveyors, including City Bakery, Infinite Monkey Theorem and Colorado brewers Avery, Crooked Stave, Elevation, Great Divide, Left Hand, Oskar Blues, Odell, Ska and Upslope. Postino offers $5 wine by the glass and pitchers of beer from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Postino has four locations in Arizona, including one near Snooze. Owners Lauren Bailey and Craig DeMarco became good friends with Snooze founders Jon and Adam Schlegel, who convinced them to open a restaurant in Denver and helped them find the LoHi location.
"We loved the bookbinding history, and we plan to tell the story of the building," Bailey says. "We also love the civic pride in the city and state. That’s what attracted us here."
The building also will be home to Recess beer garden, which will feature a bar, full kitchen and a large patio. There is still one retail space available in the building.
