Woody Creek – The Woody Creek Tavern, a favorite hangout of the late writer Hunter S. Thompson, has officially changed hands for $2 million.
Shep and Mary Harris on Friday granted ownership of the tavern to Kevin Willson and Laura Wren, who own restaurants in Aspen and Basalt. The sale includes the attached Woody Creek Art Studio.
Tavern employees and the new owners have said the staff, furnishings and eccentric decorations will remain.
The Harrises and George and Patti Stranahan purchased the Tavern building and property in 2000 for $500,000. The Stranahans still own the part of the property that contains the Woody Creek Community Center.
