The Wolf's Tailor has announced that its Sheep pop-up residency at the Clayton Hotel & Members Club will continue operating through the end of 2026. This extension keeps the open-fire cooking concept in place past its original October 4, 2026, closing date.
Why it matters
The residency extension provides long-term stability for the popular pop-up model within the local dining scene. It allows the restaurant group Id Est to maintain its specialized tasting menu presence in the Cherry Creek area for an extended period.
The Sheep pop-up features a four-course tasting menu for $125 per person, up from the original $95 cost. The restaurant space at 233 Clayton St. maintains a capacity of 54 seats for its dinner-only service.
