Local residents and travelers alike have a few new places to stop in downtown Loveland. Two new businesses — Sage Speakeasy and Tavern and Writing Heights — recently opened and, in around a month, Urban Field will join the business community as well. Sage Speakeasy and Tavern officially opened its doors on the southwest side of the Cleveland Station building in downtown Monday, offering a space for people to come and enjoy a drink, listen to some music and take in its atmosphere; the new business also means Cleveland Station is now 100% full of tenants, according to Sean Hawkins, executive director of the Loveland Downtown District.

Sage owner Celestina Menard said that while this is not her first time owning a business, it is one that she said she created specifically as something she would enjoy going to. She said while she was co-owner of the Derby Grille in Berthoud for more than a decade, she decided to take on a new business venture, moving away from the bar and grill atmosphere to that of Sage. She said Sage is meant to evoke the vintage speakeasy and tavern style of the Rat Pack era; Individual tables are spread across the tavern underneath several crystal chandeliers and a unique textured ceiling.



“It is that Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday vibe with a good old fashioned (or) a Manhattan sitting in your hand, relaxing and listening to music and having a conversation with a loved one or a friend or even a business meeting,” she said. Menard said Sage will not on.
