Belmar is always a busy place, particularly nearer the weekend.
But there was extra traffic on Friday, April 1, as the business community and local leaders gathered to celebrate another restaurant that has made the area home.
Tstreet Roadhouse, 445 S. Teller St., opened its doors in grand style with free food, drinks and the everlasting funk tones of local band Funkiphino.
"We're a Colorado born and bred grill with diverse dining experiences," said Dillon Bolders, president of operations at Tstreet, during the festivities. "We're open for breakfast, lunch, happy hour and dinner every day, and are excited to be here in Belmar."
The restaurant's aesthetic is modern and steely, which made it the perfect place for an early evening party to kick off the weekend.
Aesthetically, the restaurant drew its inspiration from a modern kitchen, which are illustrated
During the event, members of the West Chamber and other Lakewood movers and shakers were able to sample Shishito peppers, gyros and duck while learning about the restaurant and its parent company.
Tstreet is owned by Colorado's Roadhouse Hospitality Group, which owns 18 restaurants around the state like the Wazee Lounge and Supper Club and Spanky's Urban Roadhouse.
The pride of Tstreet is its burgers, and its chef, James Doxon, said he's looking forward to getting creative as the kitchen gets up and running. As much of the food as possible is locally grown, which is a point of pride for the staff and ownership.
When Funkiphino started playing around 7 p.m., they were instantly joined by guests dancing to soul classics like Earth, Wind and Fire's "September" and Toto's "Rosanna."
"We want to create a relaxing lounge for every occasion," Bolders said. "The feedback we've been receiving so far has been great."
Belmar resident Judy Davis is already a fan of the restaurant. She stopped in for Tstreet's soft opening, and was back again on April 1.
"I love all the restaurants in the area, and I'm getting to know them here," she said. "I can already recommend the prime rib sandwich, which is delicious."
