Wine lounge opens, but with severe constraints
The wine lounge located inside a Centerville sports bar that we told you about last month — and then one day later was forced to close because of a regulatory occupancy issue — is now back open again, though on a severely limited basis and by reservation only.
Here’s an excerpt from an update from Gayle Burtt and Mark Brown, co-managers of “Grapes — a Wine Lounge” inside the Centerville Pub at 68 West Franklin St.:
Finally, after 5 weeks of having to close the city granted us an occupancy report! For 9 people..sigh! Therefore while the owner works on the additional enhancements we are open, but by reservation only. A revised occupancy report will allow us to run as a “normal” business with open seating to a capacity of 25-30.
Grapes Wine Lounge features a warm and cozy atmosphere with hard wood floors, Tuscan style decorating, and comfortable seating in club chairs. There is always music playing and we feature moderately priced wines by the glass and bottle as well as a scrumptious appetizer menu including our signature meat and cheese plates.
We have two “windows” per night that we can seat up to a maximum of 8 people Monday through Sunday (5:00pm - 7:30pm and 8:00pm - 10:30pm). If you would like to join us during any of these times please email us in advance the time, your name, phone number, and number in your party to info@grapeswinelounge.com or simply call us anytime at 937.238.5706.
It’s a perfect opportunity to have an intimate private gathering with your friends or business associates as we roll into the holiday season! (Please note you do not have to have a minimum of 8 to make a reservation). Just come as you are and lounge with others!
