New sports bar specializing in smoked meats opening in former historic brewery

The brand-new principle, called Draft Day, is taking over the previous Smokehouse Developing dining establishment, which shut late last year after over 25 years at 1130 Dublin Rd., right around the edge from Grandview proper. “I wish to be the next tenant for the next 25 years,” Valentino quipped. He worked for One Friendliness for the previous 8 years, yet really felt like it was the best time to go out on his very own.

“We wished to create a location where individuals can come together, whether they’re passionate concerning beer, like sports, or just want to delight in great food in a lively setting,” claimed Valentino. “This location has a rich background, and we’re thrilled to bring that tradition ahead with a fresh new experience.”

The brand-new idea, called Draft Day, is taking over the previous Smokehouse Brewing restaurant, which shut late in 2015 after over 25 years at 1130 Dublin Rd., right around the bend from Grandview proper. “I hope to be the next renter for the next 25 years,” Valentino quipped. And while we never ever intend to see a dining establishment go, Valentino is still honoring it, in his own way. “We’re maintaining the full, integrated smoker,” he said. “We can smoke 100lbs at a time.”

This brand-new sports bar & dining establishment is Valentino’s very first endeavor with his recently started friendliness team, called Tino Friendliness Team. He worked for One Friendliness for the previous 8 years, but really felt like it was the ideal time to go out on his very own.

Draft Day will flaunt 40 Televisions throughout their 11,000 square foot room, offering a watching of hard-to-find-at-home games. In the middle of their primary dining-room, their “facility court” location will also include a jumbotron.

The place itself will confirm to set them apart from other sporting activities bars in the Grandview location. There’s brand-new growth throughout Draft Day, plus the establishment currently has 92 car park spots for customers.
