ASPEN — The four finalists for the bar and restaurant space in the Wheeler Opera House building gave short presentations to the Aspen City Council on Tuesday, all saying that they will run a high-quality eatery at affordable prices and that they are willing to bend their concepts to suit the city’s desires.
The city-owned space currently is occupied by Bentley’s, which is not one of the finalists. After Bentley’s closes in July, the city will make extensive interior renovations to the property, including new plumbing and electrical systems as well as a new kitchen and basement offices. The council is expected to make a decision on the new restaurant operation by the end of this month, and the eatery is expected to open in December.
