Aspen’s Crystal Palace, which closed its doors as a dinner theater at the end of the ski season, is planning to reopen for at least a year as a restaurant.

Aspen’s Liquor License Authority board granted a transfer of the old Crystal Palace’s liquor license to the Crystal Palace Grille.

The new restaurant will keep the layout of the old Palace, according to documents submitted to the city, with the lobby entry area and the stage in the dining room kept intact. The new restaurant may host live music, although the thespian-driven dinner theater operations of the old establishment will not continue.

It is unknown what Linden Nelson, who is supposed to close on the Crystal Palace building in June, plans to do with the space after one year.

The board also granted a liquor license to Junk at the Red Onion, which will reopen as a new restaurant in the historic Red Onion building next ski season.

Scott DeGraff, who will run the new establishment, also received a liquor license to operate the Worldwide Fun Lab in the space vacated last year by the Cooking School of Aspen. Worldwide Fun will be similar to the cooking school, offering cooking classes for children and adults and cooking demonstrations to the public.

Worldwide Fun will also serve as a training ground for chefs who will work in DeGraff’s various restaurants throughout the country. Besides Junk at the Red Onion, DeGraff also owns Junk and Liquid Sky, which will open next ski season in Snowmass Base Village, as well as Las Vegas’s Playboy Club, other Vegas restaurants and restaurants in Chicago and Dallas.
