The sports bar (Sports on Burke) may not happen...I talked to the building owner this morning who was on his way to court to evict "his tenant", meaning the sports bar. No details given on why, but what a shame to lose a new business from the area before it even gets off the ground

Well for bars we have Fusion, Black Bear, Gatsby's, and Rubber Soul. For restaurants/cafes we have Burke Street Pizza, Morning Dew, The Lighthouse Restaurant, The Filling Station, West End Cafe, and a smoothie shop on Brookstown but just one storefront down from Burke Street.

Fusion is closed, the building is for lease (again). The main draw as far as bars go is Burke Street Pub, and there is also First Street Draught House, on the corner of 1st and Hawthorne. I walked by the new sports bar yesterday (I work on Burke Street) and it's probably a month from opening. They have a menu taped up on the door, pretty large, but not a ton of variety - your standard sports bar fare, mostly grilled sandwiches. I think it will be a nice addition to the area though!

I have heard that it will be "American food with a European twist" at 4th and Cherry. I have no idea what that means though.
