The Covington Business Council announces two upcoming events to showcase two new restaurant concepts opening in Northern Kentucky’s largest city.
On Tuesday, August 20, at 3 p.m., CBC will preview By Golly’s Bar and Grill’s move to the former Keystone space at 313 Greenup Street.
By Golly’s is expected to open the next day.
The restaurant is part of the Epic Eats Restaurant Group, which also operates The Works Brick Oven restaurant in Covington. The Works is located in a 4,300-square-foot storefront on the ground floor of the Hayden building at 303 Court Street and is scheduled to open in the fall.
By Golly’s menu includes hoagies, burgers, wings and Italian dishes like baked meatballs and baked spaghetti with meatballs.
The second event is part of CBC’s regularly scheduled Hard Hat tours of corporate buildings in Covington.
It is described only as a “new culinary concept” being pushed by established restaurant entrepreneurs Billy Grise and Mitch Arens and will be located on the ground floor of the Grand Events Center at 434 Madison Avenue.
The unnamed venue will be located in a 4,000-square-foot space. The tour will take place on Thursday, September 5th from 4 to 5 p.m., followed by a happy hour at the Knowledge Bar & Social Room at North by Hotel Covington, 638 Madison Avenue from 5 to 7 p.m.
Both Grise and Arens say the new project will offer something unique to the neighborhood by blending traditional and contemporary inspirations. A name and design identity are still in the works.
Grise is best known as the Food and Beverage Director of the Thunderdome Restaurant Group and the Hotel Covington.
Arens is the founder and executive chef of Southernly and was most recently executive chef at Well on 7th Street, Covington.
Both hope that the location between the soon-to-be booming Covington Central Riverfront development and the expansion of the Covington Hotel will promote their growth.
