Owner of Littleton cocktail lounge adds a second location

Steve Cominsky is growing the Littleton social scene.

Three years after opening Social Bar & Lounge in the suburb, Cominsky added a second location about 5 miles away at 240 Village Park Drive.

The bar opened Dec. 15, located in an apartment complex in the Littleton Village neighborhood. The 3,500-square-feet space is staffed with 16 employees and has the same “vibe” as the first location, Cominsky said, but is slightly bigger.

“Number two came out of the gates pretty strong, we feel good about this model and people are loving it, so I think we found a niche within the suburban communities,” Cominsky said.

Cominsky, who’s lived in Littleton for nearly 15 years, wanted a “cool” spot for the 21-plus crowd to hang out.

“There’s a ton of great restaurants, there’s a ton of great taverns, but not the adults hanging out with other adults, socializing and having fun,” Cominsky said.

After years of joking about there being nowhere to go, Cominsky finally opened his dream bar.

Bill Balkovatz with Denver Commercial Realty helped him find and secure the second location. Jigsaw Architecture designed the space and Williams Construction built it out, but all aesthetic decisions were made by Dawn, Cominsky’s wife.
