229 North Virginia - The Horseshoe Building may be getting a makeover! I see a permit for a restaurant remodel and facade remodel, and an MPE, though not sure what that means. Looks like the restaurant may be called Masque. How mysterious!
211 North Virginia Street - Virginia Street Brewhouse - Also opening on Virginia Street in September, will be Virginia Street Brewhouse. Dubbed as a 'multi-use speakeasy and nightlife venue' with the largest selection of craft beer on tap and bottled. On the first floor will be the main bar area and includes a dance floor, stage area for bands, gaming, food and pool tables. On the second floor is 'The Denim Lounge', tapping into the building's history as a jean factory.
190 California Avenue - Monaciello - This is the building my favorite yoga spot is in, Temple Yoga, upstairs, so I am guessing a new restauarant is going in where Blue Moon Pizza used to be. They're applying for an alcohol license. From their Facebook Page, it looks like pizza and pasta. I love pasta! Here's a construction pic below.
772 South Virginia Street - Whispering Vine Midtown - Whispering Vine is applying for a packaged liquor license which means they should be opening soon!
32 Cheney Street - Amari - A new bar is applying for a new alcohol bar license in the next city council meeting. From the owners of Death & Taxes and Midtown Eats, this bar will help with the overflow of Death & Taxes but be a completely different concept and menu. This is Nameless Coffee's old locale.
50 South Virginia Street - Seven Troughs Speakeasy - Opening in the Basement soon in the historic former post office downtown, is applying for their alcohol license.
Why is another bar being opened in the Basement when the owner has made it clear he doesn't want a bar there? There already was one, and a very cool one. Then he ran them out. This is confusing.
