The remaining portion of Gem will become another dining concept at some point in the future, Walker said. He described the space as being warm like a den, but with high-end finishes. Walker said part of another former restaurant that closed, Gem (which was located next to the buffet), is under construction now to become an event space for The Taproom that will be able to rent for large groups or events such as bridal showers and quinceañeras. More is expected to be added to the new restaurant. People in the dining room can watch as their pizzas are being made at a brick oven pizza station or look at the glass-enclosed brewery. Six 86-inch televisions are located at the bar as well.Īround the bar is the dining facility that features both communal and individual tables, Walker said.
At the heart of the new space is a large circular bar that can fit up to 26 people that features a wraparound ice-rail at the bar designed to keep drinks cold.
