For those wanting to grab a burger after a day of shopping or for anyone craving something sweet after seeing a movie, 5280 Burger Bar is the place to go.

e restaurant opened its new location inside Colorado Mills mall, just across from the movie theater, on April 6 with its o cial ribboncutting ceremony on April 13. 5280 Burger Bar adds this location to its others in Westminster, downtown Denver and Austin, Texas.

Don Redlinger, managing partner, described how he and his colleagues signed the lease just before the COVID-19 shutdowns, so the new location’s been a long time coming. Once foot tra c inside the mall and movie theater picked up again, Redlinger said it took almost a year to build out the space.

In the meantime, the owners bought the adjacent space inside the mall and opened Guapo Taco last fall. Having the sister restaurants so close is convenient for customers and sta , he said.

5280 Burger Bar features mouthwatering, creatively named burgers like the Double Bypass, the I Can’t Decide and the Perfect Burger. All are made with local beef and housemade sauces, including ketchup, Redlinger said.

Along with appetizers like street tacos and egg rolls, the restaurant also has chicken and vegetarian sandwiches; lobster rolls; salads; and loaded fries.

For those trying to decide between an alcoholic beverage or dessert, the restaurant o ers a mix of both with its signature shaketinis. It also has non-alcoholic shake options and an in-house custard shop. Customers can order mix-ups with cookie bits, nuts and candies at the to-go window inside the mall.

“We’re really excited to be here,” Redlinger continued. “ e mall should be a good draw.”

5280 Burger Bar is open from 11 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Monday through ursday, 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 a.m.-8:30 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, visit 5280burgerbar.com.
