The Denver Post: A 5,000-square foot beer garden opens next month in Arvada

Arvada Beer Garden will open at 9258 W. 58th Place with 850 plants and 44 trees, City Street Investors says

City Street Investors, the local development firm and restaurant operator, is putting the final touches on its Arvada Beer Garden, set to open early next month.

A special emphasis has been placed on the “garden” part of the business.

“It’s a million-dollar garden with 850 plants,” said Joe Vostrejs, a co-owner of the firm.

“With 44 trees. But who’s counting?” added Rod Wagner, Vostrejs’ business partner.

The entire project at 9258 W. 58th Place spans one acre, with a 5,000-square-foot beer garden on one end and a 2,000-square-foot retail building on the other. In between them sits a 14,300-square-foot pocket park. The total price tag stands at $6 million.

But City Street isn’t paying all that.

The Arvada Urban Renewal Authority sold the property to the developers at a discounted price of $230,000 and kicked in another $1.6 million for some of the infrastructure onsite. That’s because the beer garden is part of a larger redevelopment that includes hundreds of new homes and apartments along with 185,000 square feet of commercial space.

“Arvada felt like the beer garden was exactly the kind of placemaking they needed for their projects. So it was a fit. I’m not running around the metro area trying to find another place to do a beer garden. We’re really only doing beer gardens where it’s a strategic part of a greater vision for placemaking,” Vostrejs said.
