Correa and Peña, owners of iconic Bar America and the Squeezebox respectively, will open the new concept sometime in October.
The space, located at 540 S. Presa St. behind Bar America, will feature a slow-paced, intimate vibe with a focus on celebrating local culture and family history. It previously housed Don Martin's Coffee Co., which closed this spring.
“The building is historic. It belonged to Brian’s grandfather, who originally owned Bar America,” Peña told the Current. “I grew up going to Bar America and have memories of being in there with [Correa’s] grandfather working the door. It definitely feels like we have a responsibility to create something our families would be proud of in this space and something the city can embrace.”
Correa and Peña have yet to announce an opening date, but are directing fans to the establishment’s Instagram feed for future updates.
