Three of the six bowling lanes inside the new FlyteCO Brewing on July 27, 2022 in Denver. FlyteCo Brewing will soon open their second aviation-themed brewery in the former Stapleton International Airport control tower building in the Central Park neighborhood. The brew pub will offer a full menu, beer, wine and spirits as well as have Ògame-focusedÓ elements offering an 18 hole mini golf course outside, 6 bowling lanes, arcade games, darts, a photo booth and lots of space to eat, drink and socialize.

O’Sullivan said FlyteCo had been looking to expand thanks to success at its original location in the Berkeley neighborhood and the company’s ability to pivot during the pandemic. When indoor dining was shut down due to COVID-19, FlyteCo quickly shifted to to-go beer and added a coffee and bagel shop to satisfy consumer demand for grab-and-go options.
FlyteCo was eyeing a space in Green Valley Ranch, but the deal fell through. Less than a week later, O’Sullivan said he and partners Eric Serani and Jason Slingsby were invited to check out the control tower building, now part of the Central Park neighborhood.
“I had to pinch myself because as an aviation-themed brewery, of course we’re going to say ‘Yes, that’s exactly where we want to go,’ ” O’Sullivan said. “So we went and toured the spot. It’s absolutely enormous but such an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take over a space that couldn’t be better suited to our brand.”
FlyteCo Tower is replacing Punch Bowl Social, which inhabited the 20,000-square-foot space until its closure in 2020. Thatap why visitors will find an 18-hole mini golf course, an arcade and six bowling lanes, plus multiple bars, patios and dining areas spread over two floors of the venue. One patio on the second story overlooks Central Park.

FlyteCo Brewing will soon open their second aviation-themed brewery in the former Stapleton International Airport control tower building in the Central Park neighborhood. The brew pub will offer a full menu, beer, wine and spirits as well as have “game-focused” elements offering an 18 hole mini golf course outside, 6 bowling lanes, arcade games, darts, a photo booth and lots of space to eat, drink and socialize.

The concept is massive. O’Sullivan said the occupancy is around 1,500 patrons. (The company is looking to hire about 140 people for a variety of positions.)
As for the building’s signature 164-foot air traffic control tower, itap not open as part of the entertainment venue — at least not yet.
“We are working with the landlord, the property owner at trying to get that tower back into usable condition,” O’Sullivan said.
Beyond the location, the aviation theme will be impossible to miss. Murals of airplanes and travel signage adorn the walls and booths. Additionally, FlyteCo has a partnership with the nearby Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, which will loan a rotating collection of artifacts to be featured in the brewery.
FlyteCo’s primary brewing facility will remain in Berkeley. However, the tower will have a small, 2.5-barrel pilot brewing system for specialty recipes and other creative projects. For example, O’Sullivan wants to collaborate with folks looking to host a private event and brew something specifically to their taste.
Most of the taps here will be dedicated to FlyteCo beers, such as Oh My Guava pale ale and Late A-RYE-VAL rye IPA . It will also serve other locally made craft beers, wine and cocktails to pair with “traditional pub Americana” fare, O’Sullivan said. Think pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, salads and other vegetarian-friendly dishes.
Starting at 7 a.m. Thursday through Sunday, early risers can snag some quick-serve coffee and breakfast burritos, similar to the Tennyson location. The bars are expected to remain open until 10 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends. (It’s currently closed Monday through Wednesday.)
