Table 6 Is Gone. What's Coming to the Corona Street Corner?

Table 6 served its last dinner on July 9, 2026, after 22 years at 609 Corona St. The team behind Major Tom and the Michelin-starred Beckon is turning the room into Holm, a 50-seat American bistro run by chef Duncan Holmes. The latest reporting points to a November opening. Earlier this year, Fruition's longtime space on Sixth Avenue reopened as Madeline, and Odyssey Italian came back from a February fire.

For anyone in Country Club, these blocks of Sixth Avenue and Corona are the nearest stretch of chef-driven dining west of Downing, and its best-known rooms have closed, reopened or changed hands in 2026. The new owners have kept the same kind of room in each case. No dining room on this stretch has been converted to something else. Each one passed to another chef-led team, and Holm describes its plans for 609 Corona in terms very close to the ones Table 6 used on its way out.

Twenty-Two Years at 609 Corona

Chef Aaron Whitcomb opened Table 6 in 2004, moving into the old Beehive space. Westword describes the early menu as a bridge between Denver's casual past and its more refined dining future. PBR was on the beer list next to roasted lamb medallions, housemade seafood sausages, leek and rock shrimp egg rolls, and a secret pie list for regulars who knew to ask. The restaurant drew national attention quickly, including a spot on an Esquire list of best new restaurants.

Ownership changed hands twice over the years. Aaron Forman took over in 2006 after Whitcomb left. Aniedra Nichols, who had led the kitchen since 2020, and Amanda Davis became owners in 2023 after Forman's death. When Nichols announced the closing in June, she gave no business reason beyond the natural end of a long run. She described the restaurant this way:

"It became exactly what we hoped it would be — a neighborhood institution where people celebrated first dates, anniversaries, birthdays, promotions and ordinary Tuesday nights that somehow became unforgettable."

She also said she had sold the restaurant to new owners and that the name would not continue. At the time, the new concept hadn't been announced.

Who Bought the Room, and What They Are Building

The buyer turned out to be Paired Hospitality. Its two restaurants, Major Tom and Beckon, are both off Larimer Street in RiNo. Beckon is an 18-seat counter with a Michelin star. Holm is a different kind of restaurant. With 50 seats, it is nearly three times the size of Beckon's counter. The Denver Post describes it as an all-purpose neighborhood bistro, not a tasting-menu room.

The menu items announced so far are the kind people order on a weeknight:

• Brick chicken with fall vegetables
• Pork ragù over housemade pasta
• Chicken and rice soup
• Vegetable-forward seasonal plates, using produce partly grown on Paired Hospitality's Lakewood farm

Westword says the team calls the menu "hyperseasonal." The name works two ways, as a play on "home" and on the Holmes family name. Duncan Holmes runs the kitchen, and Allison Holmes oversees the guest experience. Josh Elson and Craig Lieberman are partners. Jenn Mendelson of Leap Interiors is designing the interior, with fabrication by Jon Strieby.

The clearest statement of what the owners want came in a BusinessDen story in September. The group said it wants nearby residents to have "a standing order or reservation" at Holm. That describes the same regular dinner Nichols talked about in June, coming from new owners. It is an ambition, though, not a booking policy. Holm has not yet said how reservations will work.

What Is Confirmed and What Isn't

The opening date has moved. Here is what each source says as of October 5:

The two most recent reports both say November, and no exact date has been announced. Holm's own website currently shows only a "coming soon" page and an email signup. It lists no hours, menu or reservation platform yet. For a birthday or anniversary dinner in late fall, the email list will likely be the first place to see the actual date.

Sixth Avenue Has Already Done This Once This Year

What is happening at 609 Corona has already happened once on Sixth Avenue this year. When Fruition's longtime home at 1313 E. Sixth Ave. changed hands, it became Madeline. Chef Quincy Cherrett opened it on May 7, 2026, with seasonal modern American cooking and Asian influences. In July, 5280 included Madeline in its roundup of the best restaurants opened in the previous three months. In its Sept. 29 preview, Westword grouped the two sites together, describing chefs taking over iconic restaurant spaces and making them their own, starting with Madeline replacing Fruition.

Farther west, Odyssey Italian at 603 E. Sixth Ave. reopened on July 21 after a fire in February closed it. To the east, toward Cherry Creek, Syrup closed its original location at 300 Josephine St. on Aug. 16 after nearly 16 years. Its other locations stayed open.

Here are the 2026 changes in order:

Westword calls both Fruition's and Table 6's rooms iconic, and both went to chef-led teams. Quincy Cherrett opened Madeline under his own concept. Holm's partners already run a Michelin-starred counter across town and chose to open a larger, everyday room here. With Odyssey reopening in the same season, this stretch of Sixth Avenue has kept every one of its chef-led dining rooms through 2026. The next of these is at 609 Corona, where a 50-seat bistro is set to open in the room Table 6 ran for 22 years.

Holm's opening will change more than where people book anniversary dinners. It will also figure into how the blocks around Country Club's northwest corner are described to the next person who walks them. If you are thinking about what a stretch like this means for your own home, Christine Nicholson follows these corners closely and is glad to talk it through. Let's Connect.
