The Gaslamp Tavern Lights Up South Fork’s Sipping Scene Kick back with mountain locals over Colorado-sourced brews, wine, and snacks.Lisa Blake • May 20, 2021 Two Denver transplants are breathing new life into the sleepy South Fork social landscape. The southern Colorado hamlet—population 335-ish—welcomed the Gaslamp Tavern on Halloween 2020. The pub pulsates from a restored log cabin, previously a fly-fishing shop, along Highway 160 and is swiftly carving a name with its welcome-one-and-all community vibe, Colorado-born beer taps, and far-reaching wine lists. Migrating from the city for gentler-paced mountain living, Catherine Olah and partner Tyler Wilburn are Denver hospitality vets—she a former bartender at Kevin Taylor Restaurant and a BookBar wine buyer, he a brewer for Flying Dog and Breckenridge Brewery. The couple landed on South Fork for its easy access to rafting and skiing. Gaslamp Tavern sits along a busy artery for travelers on their way to Wolf Creek Ski Area, Pagosa’s famed hot springs, and charming silver boomtown Creede.
