Rocky Mountain Inspired Restaurant Centered Around Scratch-Made Kitchen and Small-Town Hospitality Set to Open Second Denver location in Aurora
Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar, the family-run upscale casual dining restaurant recognized for its inspired, seasonal menu filled with handmade food and drink selections, is getting set to hire 200 people for its second Denver area restaurant in Aurora.
Lazy Dog opened its first Denver area location at The Orchard Town Center, 14618 Delaware, Westminster, in December. The Aurora Lazy Dog, located at the Southlands Mall, 24110 E. State Street, is slated to open in March.
“Lazy Dog has received a warm welcome from the Westminster community and we are excited to soon be serving our adventurous comfort food at our new Aurora location. Exceptional service is an important part of the Lazy Dog experience, and we look forward to finding the right team members to help us continue this tradition in Aurora,” said Chris Simms, founder and CEO of Lazy Dog Restaurants.
Reimagining the casual dining experience, Lazy Dog is known for its small-town hospitality; a vibrant menu that highlights seasonal ingredients sourced with care; and a warm, inviting ambiance that celebrates the majestic scenery and artisan authenticity of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where founder and CEO Chris Simms and his family spend time each year enjoying relaxed family meals and the outdoors.
Lazy Dog’s menu focuses on elevated dishes that highlight seasonal ingredients sourced with care, as well as handcrafted cocktails and select beers from local breweries including Upslope, Avery, Declaration, Odell, Great Divide, Telluride and Funkwerks.
Lazy Dog also offers brunch on the weekends, daily happy hour and late-night offerings.
