A new location of Homegrown Tap & Dough, spanning more than 6,000 square feet, will open on December 26 in Castle Rock, Colorado, marking its sixth store. The brand is owned by Gastamo Group, the Denver-based hospitality team behind concepts like Perdida, Park Burger, Park & Co and Lady Nomada.
Homegrown Tap & Dough is known for approachable Italian classics, including hand-tossed pizzas, pasta dishes and starters, paired with a curated selection of Colorado craft brews on tap. Jean-Philippe Failyau, co-founder of Gastamo Group, calls it “Italian comfort with Colorado flair” and also points to new burgers like the Bourbon Bacon Jam and “lighter, protein-forward bowls.”
The Castle Rock location debuts a fresh “elevated ranch” design with rustic wood finishes, Pendleton fabrics and Western accents that nod to the town’s heritage.
The 6,020-square-foot restaurant features 226 indoor seats and a 35-seat corner patio where garage doors open to connect the dining room with the vibrant energy of Downtown Castle Rock. Guests can book private and semi-private dining rooms, designed for year-round events, including holiday parties, graduations and rehearsal dinners. In the semi-private room, a custom reeded kitchen window offers a behind-the-scenes view that brings the kitchen’s energy into the space while keeping conversation easy. Tastefully placed TVs ensure the game is in view without overwhelming the atmosphere.
According to the company, signature touches set the Castle Rock location apart, like a custom elk head by artist Dolan Geiman, locally crafted millwork and a curated free-play vintage arcade sourced by Chattanooga Pinball, which adds a playful energy for families and groups.
“We’ve been dreaming about Castle Rock for the past three years,” said Peter Newlin, CEO of Gastamo Group. “Every inch of this restaurant was handcrafted with countless local partners with real materials and art that belong here. We’re here to listen, learn and move fast to improve. Above all, we want Homegrown to be a place this community makes its own.”
