If you're looking for a good steak, look no further than Fish N Beer!
Just kidding. They serve fish. And beer.
The intimate restaurant from the KTM Restaurant Group at 3510 Larimer St. has set a tentative opening for 4 p.m. Saturday.
Update: An email from the restaurants PR rep says there is now an official opening set for 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7.
First, they just need to install some furniture.
The casual, dinner-only, no-reservations seafood spot is headed up by executive chef and managing partner Aniedra Nichols, formerly of Elway's, and chef/owner Kevin Morrison, the man behind Tacos Tequila Whiskey.
The fish is shipped directly from the coasts to the Fish N Beer kitchen, and seasonal starters will be sourced from local cheesemakers, bakeries and farms. The house specialty cooking style is wood-grilled, but dishes will also be pan-roasted and fried in the open kitchen.
They'll have 16 beers on tap to pair with the fish, along with a cocktail and a small wine list.
Let's take a look at the menu. For one thing, there actually is a steak on there, sort of.
