A new restaurant on Main Street is opening its doors just in time for summer, ready to serve the Littleton community craft cocktails and dishes made from scratch.

Black+Haus Tavern, owned by spouses Jen Black and Brent Niedringhaus, o cially kicked o its opening to the public at its ribbon cutting on June 13.

“We’re very excited to be part of Littleton, it’s a great town,” Black said at the event. “ e community is great and you guys love showing support, and we’re just really excited to open our doors.” e restaurant is the second of its kind, after the couple opened their rst location in Parker in November 2020. e Parker menu o ers steaks, salads, sandwiches, a half chicken dish and several pasta classics. In addition, they have an extensive list of more than 170 bourbons and whiskeys along with craft cocktails, Niedringhaus said.

Like the Parker location, Littleton’s newest restaurant will o er an “elevated dining fare” and “a comfortable place for everyone to come,” Niedringhaus said.

After signing the lease on the Littleton location in December 2021, the team renovated the building to include new plumbing, electrical infrastructure and an entirely new interior design.

In addition to its normal dining space, the restaurant has a private dining room available for events.

Black and Niedringhaus said they are excited to be on Main Street, which they see as a great location for community-building.

“We want to be a part of the community, and being on Main Street in Littleton is kind of what Black+Haus is about,” Niedringhaus said. “We don’t want to be saddled between a grocery store and a liquor store and a dry cleaners. is is … personality and community and, you know, everyone walking the street and going to the shops — that’s what we want to be a part of.”

Pat Dunahay, co-president of the Littleton Business Chamber, said he was excited the team chose Littleton to be their next location.

“You had a choice, we know that,” he said, adding that the chamber would support their business and he hoped the community would, too.

“I think Black+Haus Tavern is gonna be a great addition to not just downtown Littleton, but the entire community here, all four corners and the entire south metro region,” Mayor Kyle Schlachter said. “ is is gonna get people to come visit Littleton, eat, dine, drink, hang out, and we’re just so excited to come here and have you as part of this community.”

Black+Haus Tavern is located between South Prince Street and South Nevada Street and is open starting at 11 a.m., seven days a week.
