The diner shuttered after more than forty years but owner Danny Hopkins is set to open a new and improved version — with booze — on April 3.
"We're the diner still. The menu is exactly the same as over there, and it's still me," says Danny Hopkins, who has worked in the food industry since he was sixteen, including an eleven-year stint as the general manager of Breakfast Inn on East Evans Avenue starting in 1988.
"That could be perfect," Hopkins recalls thinking of the space that was most recently home to sports bar Pilfers."The parking lot, the size of the kitchen, the dining room, the patio. So we bought the building." The business is family-run and will continue to be, with Candace, his wife of 32 years, doing all the baking, and adult twins, Samantha and Daniel, helping out.
Hopkins did not want to use the Carnation name for the new project, mainly because this iteration will also serve booze, including beer, wine, Bloody Marys and mimosas. Instead, he's calling it Danny Ray's . He plans to open on Monday, April 3,"as long as everything falls into place," leaving longtime customers just an eight day-gap before they can get another fix.
Hopkins describes the theme as"breakfast sports bar," and there are nineteen televisions throughout, including two on the large front patio, which is also decked out with a fire pit and heaters. On one of the outside walls is a colorful mural by Grow Love, which was put up by the West Colfax Arts District. Hopkins hopes to have live music on the patio in the future.
