The Real World Denver house is now called Theorie as opposed to The Abbey which it was originally projected to be named.
Theorie opened the 2nd week of August 2007 at 1920 Market Street in Denver Colorado as a restaurant and martini bar.
It was originally going to be called The Abbey but had to revise the naming due to a copyright conflict with a different establishment.
The Denver Post description of Theorie:
The second-floor living space, once home to many a reality-TV drama scene, will open soon as a new wine store. But the pool that people saw on the TV show is missing, and the stairs have been removed. Now the entry is flanked by two long full-service bars, one on the three-season outdoor patio to the left and one inside the main bar area to the right. Inside, several dining areas offer elegant tables, cozy booths and two banquette-lined lounge areas.
The décor is certainly creative, if chaotic, mixing vintage opulence, modern simplicity and LoDo loft style with mixed results. It works brilliantly in the entry; look up as you walk through the front doors, and you’ll see a large piece of ornate iron scrollwork on the ceiling, along with a modern chandelier of red glass ribbons and a brick wall dotted with twinkling red-beaded sconces.
The patio feels like a different place altogether, with mod brushed-steel tables, a long, sleek steel bar and a casual back lounge area. The inside bar mixes things up with plush plum-colored banquettes and throw pillows, white molded-plastic chairs and bare brick walls, and the dining areas follow the vintage route again with sparkling chandeliers, dark tables and sheer curtains.
One private dining area goes all out, with a gazebolike circular space enclosed by white crystal-studded curtains, containing a round glass table and a glittering $20,000 crystal chandelier. Walk into the VIP lounge, and the décor changes again, this time with low black tables and couches, and zebra-upholstered wall cushions.
