Smokestack Restaurant Almost Open

The other day I strolled over to the new Magnolia / Smokestack space and checked it out.

How soon will it open? Well, two weeks ago Eric the bar manager said “two more weeks,” so, there’s that. I kid! I kid! They’re just very busy with running a brewery, building the restaurant that will be mated to said brewery, and figuring out how they will open a grocery store in the other AIC building*.

Apparently when Smokestack opens you will order cooked meats by the pound — at least I will, unless they have a “wheelbarrow” option, in which case I will be ordering cooked meats by the “wheelbarrow full.” Please.

Dave McLean is super nice! indogpatch interviewed and photographed him not too long ago. You should read their great post:

Magnolia has had some very lovely videos made of the construction of their new space:

    Can you explain more about this mysterious grocery store? Are Dave & Co. the ones doing it? (Because while they are awesome, it would be nice to have something come in before 2019.)
