Tim Felkner is set to launch Broderick, a new cocktail bar in Denver’s Wash Park neighborhood, at 1080 S. Gaylord St. Opening on August 19, this venue aims to provide a cozy atmosphere for patrons looking to enjoy a drink before or after dinner. Felkner expects the bar to function as a relaxed gathering spot, especially for those facing long wait times at nearby restaurants.

Broderick will feature a menu of Felkner’s signature cocktails, including the negroni and old fashioned, along with items from his past experiences in San Francisco. Reflecting on the vibrant social life he shared with friends, Felkner wishes to recreate that ambiance in this new location, complete with inviting couches and soft lighting.

In addition to crafted cocktails, the menu will include light bites, such as $10 salads, $15 paninis, and $22 charcuterie boards. Initially, Broderick will operate from 4 p.m. to 10 or 11 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday, with plans to extend hours to offer coffee and breakfast options in the near future.

This is Felkner’s second venture into Denver’s bar scene after running a previous spot in Ruby Hill. He expressed that the Ruby Hill location lacked sufficient space and foot traffic, making the move to a more vibrant area like Gaylord Street a strategic choice.

Felkner encountered lengthy permitting delays with the City of Denver, taking about nine months to secure the necessary approvals. He previously experienced a faster process in San Francisco, where he often secured permits within three months.

Despite the delays, Felkner is enthusiastic about Broderick’s opening. His parent company, Broderick & Co., also plans to launch a line of spirits under the Broderick label in the future.
