JP Cocina & Cantina Replacing Wild Goose Saloon in Parker
By Connor Tien, DougCo Social
Update — July 18, 2026: New signage reads "JP Cocina & Cantina"
Signage for the former Wild Goose Saloon space at 11160 S Pikes Peak Drive now reads "JP Cocina & Cantina," pointing to a Mexican cantina rather than the "JP's Sports Bar" name announced earlier this year. The change was surfaced in a post in the Living in Parker, CO Facebook group, and the new banner is visible on the building.
The business for the space was registered with the state in June as JP Sports Bar LLC, though its ownership hasn't been publicly confirmed. In the comments on that post, area residents speculated the operator runs a local Mexican burrito truck in Parker. DougCo Social has not confirmed the ownership, menu, or an opening date, and the sign currently up is a temporary banner. We'll update as licensing records and the business's own announcements confirm the details.
The space was first announced as JP's Sports Bar in a May 16, 2026 Instagram post from the Wild Goose Saloon account — an account that no longer exists — as the next tenant for the building at 11160 S Pikes Peak Dr in Parker, the former home of Wild Goose Saloon. As of July 2026, new signage on the building reads JP Cocina & Cantina (see the update above).
The May post — addressed to longtime Wild Goose customers — framed the change as "a new chapter" and welcomed the new tenant to the space.
The Location
The building sits at 11160 S Pikes Peak Drive, just off Mainstreet in Parker. It's the same address that housed Wild Goose Saloon, the live music venue and BBQ joint that opened in 2021 and closed on February 22, 2026.
What's Known So Far
Beyond the name, one detail is now confirmed in the public record. The business is registered with the Colorado Secretary of State as JP Sports Bar LLC, a limited liability company formed on June 2, 2026 and listed in good standing with a registered agent on file.
Everything else is still unannounced, including:
- Opening date or timeline
- The individual owners behind the LLC
- Menu, hours, or format
- Whether the concept includes branding changes to the building
What's Next
We'll update this article as more details emerge — including any independent social presence for JP Cocina & Cantina, additional signage at the building, or a Parker liquor license or city permits.
The Wild Goose Saloon directory entry remains on DougCo Social and is now marked closed: Wild Goose Saloon directory page.
