Frasca owners to close Denver wine bar, extend Tavernetta operations

A popular Denver wine bar from award-winning Boulder sommelier Bobby Stuckey is closing at the end of the year and turning into an extension of the Italian restaurant he owns next door.

Sunday Vinyl, located on the Union Station platform at 1803 16th Street, opened in 2019 as a passion project of Stuckey, whose Boulder restaurant Frasca Food and Wine has garnered acclaim as one of the best in the nation — and taken home a Michelin star. The Denver bar was named after his weekend routine of listening to records at home with his wife and likewise featured a state-of-the-art turntable and sound system.

    In an announcement this week, Stuckey said his owning entity, Frasca Hospitality Group, would flip Sunday Vinyl into a private event space for Tavernetta. It features the same private dining menu as Tavernetta, and will open up the original restaurant for more walk-in customers.

    Sunday Vinyl’s last day of service is New Year’s Eve. Come spring, it’ll have a new name: La Casina.

    “The demand for private event space and events at Tavernetta is very, very robust, to the point we turn away so many guests because those back two rooms are booked so often for private events,” Stuckey said in an interview.

    “What we would like to do is transition those events into what is currently the Sunday Vinyl space,” he said.

    The Sunday Vinyl concept, with all its records, speakers and amplifiers, would relocate to Boulder. Stuckey said they are looking for a property in the city.

    “Sunday Vinyl is a restaurant that’s so important to me personally,” he said. “We’re coming up on six years, and I’m proud of everyone’s efforts.”

    Sunday Vinyl will sell wine bottles at half the price until its closure at the end of the month, according to the group.
