Rooftop Lease Dispute in RiNo
A rooftop bar, Rose, atop The Penrose apartments in RiNo, is in a legal dispute with the building's owner over pool and barbecue area access.
"The landlord's behavior represents a classic bait-and-switch,"
alleges Ciaran O'Brien, owner of Rose. The dispute threatens to derail plans for a three-phase rollout of O'Brien's drinkeries at The Penrose.
- A first-floor coffee shop
- A speakeasy in the basement
A lawsuit filed by O'Brien states that the landlord's interference has raised doubts about the possibility of further phases. The Penrose, located at 1740 36th St., opened last summer.
