A couple is opening a cocktail bar in a previously shuttered restaurant in Denver, focusing on highballs and martinis with a unique menu and no gratuity.

• Shelby and Scott Ruggiero purchased a property in Denver for $1 million to open a cocktail bar named Yoshi.
• The previous restaurant, Sullivan Scratch Kitchen, closed last summer, and the new bar will focus on highballs and martinis with a seasonal menu.
• The couple plans to operate with a small team on salaries, without gratuity or service fees, and will offer small bites instead of traditional bar food.
