Robert Thompson’s New Soccer Tapas Spot | Denver News

Robert Thompson, the visionary behind Punch Bowl Social, is back with a bold new twist: BARna, a soccer-themed tapas bar on East Colfax. Unlike his past high-budget ventures, this one’s low-key and laser-focused on fans aged 21–34, offering everything from Premier League matches at 9 AM to local games. After a string of high-profile projects — including a Mediterranean restaurant and a pickleball venture — Thompson admits past missteps but remains confident in BARna’s potential. With a fraction of the cost and a personal touch infused with Spanish flair and soccer memorabilia, BARna is his most intimate project yet — and he’s already plotting expansions to Dallas and Southern California, backed by British investor Luke Johnson.
