Meet Abhi Thane Bhargava | Owner & Operator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Abhi Thane Bhargava and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Abhi Thane, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Operating any niche local business successfully, especially a startup, such as Thane’s Table – a Tavern completely themed around tabletop gaming, requires demonstrable company morals over a rigid business plan in my opinion.

Our values are the cornerstone in all our business decisions, business partnerships, reflect in our engagement with our local community, and ultimately drive our success as a business – Thane’s mission since its inception is to be an inclusive space for one and all, promoting Colorado sourced products, and serving our growing community better each day!

While our business plan has been tweaked, a handful of times to say the least, our core values remain the same – and will drive us forward, always!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
As we work towards expanding our business and adding a new location, we are very excited to bring fresh ideas with new business partnerships, while carrying our experiences and know how forward!

Thane’s Table is a unique concept, it is technically a restaurant but with less table turnover, since a tabletop game could continue for 3-5 hours – sometimes longer! A unique business concept comes with unique business challenges, almost every day – It feels easy navigating through those though given our amazing and adept team!

It has taken a lot of hard work, perseverance, and personal sacrifices from all of us, nevertheless.

This is a bit philosophical, but the title “Thane” is our legacy – it comes with a duty to serve the community and the title itself, as we believe it, must be earned on merit and goodwill solely, not through inheritance or be bartered for.

Thane’s Table, so long as it continues to be in business, aims to remain a rational and safe place for it’s employees and patrons alike!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
While I have my own favorite activities in the city like hitting bike trails, dive bars, and late night eateries.. when a friend is visiting Denver for the first time –

I recommend a motorcycle ride through the Boulder Valley, stopping at Crosscut for Pizza and a Pint in Nederland, a concert at Red Rocks, Dinner at The Fort in Morrison and a hiking day to Lake Gibson, one of my favorite hiking and Trout fishing spots in Colorado!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I am a Mechanical Engineer and continue to work full time, in addition to operating the tavern. and there are days when I don’t know all the answers and there are certainly days when I need words of encouragement – Gratefully, myself and our business has had the privilege of learning from amazing teachers throughout this journey and we continue to!

The mentors and teachers I have had the opportunity to engage with, at institutions I have attended, in my immediate family, amongst my coworkers at Thane’s Table, in friendships, and in love – deserve all the credit for my and my business’s success!
