Another two closings in Larimer Square.
"We had an idea in June that this was coming," says Bonnano Concepts creative director Jacqueline Bonann. Initially there was hope of finding a new, temporary home for the bar in Larimer Square, but after that space failed to materialize, it signaled the end for Green Russell and its large collection of rare whiskey."It's caught me off-guard how sad I am about it," Jacqueline adds."It's a crazy busy, successful bar.
But overall, Bonanno Concepts is still going strong. The Bonannos recently purchased the Capitol Hill properties where Mizuna, Luca, Lou’s Food Bar and Vesper Lounge are located, and the group has more new projects in the works."No employees are going to be displaced" by Green Russell's closure, Jacqueline notes.
Now, the bar has just over two months to say its goodbyes, and it plans to go out in style. Along with a big New Year's Eve celebration, Bonanno Concepts is planning a"giant party paying tribute to things we've done in the past" every Tuesday in December, Jacqueline says, including a tiki party and jazz night.
"It's not a sad, mournful goodbye," she concludes."It's more joyful. It's all going to be fine; everything has a cycle."
