The Grovewood is Reopened
Formerly the Grovewood Tavern and Wine Bar has been reopened under new ownership as the Grovewood Lounge & Grille. The new owner Chris Brooks, wants to turn the cozy bar into a comfortable neighborhood "Cheers". An extensive remodel by local craftsman John Budway has the interior of the Grovewood looking classy. A new hardwood floor and bar has been added. Four large flatscreen TVs make the Grovewood the perfect place to watch a Cav's game. A simple menu of appetizers, salads, sandwiches will be available. An emphasis on fresh and not frozen should lead to some tasty bar food. An expanded menu will be added in the next 4 to 6 weeks.
The Grovewood Lounge & Grille is located at 17105 Grovewood Ave. The lounge is open Tuesday through Thursday from 4 PM until midnight, and Friday and Saturday from 4 PM till 2 AM. The kitchen is open nightly till midnight. Stop in and say hello to Chris, and tell him the Observer sent you.
