Bowld restaurant and meal prep will officially open on Tuesday, March 5.

The 1,750-square-foot space at 13160 E. Colossal Cave Rd. Ste. 100 in Vail previously held sandwich restaurant Quiznos. Customers can see their order prepared at the counter.

“We aim to provide great fresh food able to fit anyone’s needs in a fun, laid-back but speedy environment,” said Eston Stogner, owner-chef at Bowld.

The counter-service restaurant features a menu focused on a variety of bowls and “rowls,” which are items rolled in ham, breaded and fried or griddled.

Other options include burgers and salads.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
