March 8, 20178 yr Success for Bru Burger could mean sister concepts follow The area’s first — but maybe not the last — Bru Burger Bar expects to open by spring 2018. “We’ve been looking long and hard at Columbus for awhile,” founder Mike Cunningham told me Tuesday. “We looked downtown. We looked on the fringes of the Short North, but couldn’t find a space we liked.” :wtf: (*ColDay Note* In ALL of downtown, they couldn't find a space they liked?

March 8, 20178 yr I'm dreaming again but since Columbus is a microcosm of the U.S. and downtown is right in the center, I'd like to see a retail and restaurant district in the heart of downtown where space is leased to large chains that are testing new concept stores. I wouldn't even care if the city had to hire people to reach out to the companies, offer to subsidize the operation and pay their rent. Downtown desperately needs destinations worth going to after 5pm and I feel that would be a major regional draw. Whether it's another Abercrombie test store, that new Taco Bell concept, whatever. Unfortunately, concept stores go to Easton but this is something that would distinguish downtown and give people a unique experience. It would do wonders for branding (every promotional video I've seen for downtown is beyond pathetic) and it would give folks at Experience Columbus something to do and an actual direction to go in. It's a really crappy situation. Most restaurants downtown are only open for lunch; people go to SN, Arena District and German Village for dinner. There's a huge lunch crowd due to all of the office buildings but since all those government workers have half hour lunch breaks and people generally won't eat out for lunch unless they find something under $7, it's mostly just boring fast food that operates for half of a day since they make almost all of their revenue between 12-1pm. If Nationwide Arena and Crew Stadium were located downtown you'd probably see a lot more interest in those spaces.

The new spot, in the uptown area at 109 S. State Street, aims to be a reflection of the neighborhood’s history.

It originally contained the Kyoto Tea House and Shinto Shrine, which owner Kevin Malhame said inspired various features of the new store’s design. A mosaic, displayed in the former Tea House, is set into the outer wall at the back of the restaurant, and Shou Sugi Ban, a charred wood used in old Japanese temples, was incorporated into the siding.
