The owner of the building that previously housed Bella Vino wine bar and shop at 495 N. Main St. (Ohio 741) applied for a liquor license last week and is looking for a restaurant or pub to occupy the space.

Scot Dorrough, who now lives in Destin, Florida, has owned the building since a wine bar called Mulligan’s Wine & Stuff opened there in 1998. The wine bar went through ownership and name changes, becoming Grapes of Ruth and ultimately Bella Vino, before shutting down three months ago. A second Bella Vino location in West Chester remains open.

Dorrough said he previously operated a bar in the area and applied for a license to help him market the 5,000-square-foot space to a prospective restaurant or possibly a coffee/wine shop.

The application is pending at the Ohio Department of Commerce’s Division of Liquor Control.
