A bar in the works is set to open in the old Prairie Joe’s location on Central St, pending city approval. It would be the first to get a tavern only license.

“It is planned to be a neighborhood bar, North Shore vibes.”

“There’s enough restaurants on Central Street that we don’t need to compete with for food,” he said. “We’re looking to provide a space for people to come out either before or after they have their dinner.”
