Bar/Movie/Restaurant in Mellwood Arts Center?

I was taking my daughter to her language class, and I saw a sign for a new bar/movie/restaurant in the Mellwood Arts Center. It looked far from completion, but if it's what I think it is, it's exciting. For those of us who can get babysitting once in a very long while, getting all our date nights in at once sounds intriguing.

Does anyone have any information? I'm envisioning some classic 70s cinema, a nice meal, and one (or four) bourbons to round out the evening.

Thanks for the link. Does anybody know when they plan to open? I noticed they have a selection of membership packages which could be neat gifts, beginning at $10.

Boy, do I need to keep my eyes open- I was ay Mellwood today and didn't even notice the sign.
I see they will feature wood- oven fired pizza. Perhaps they scooped up Primo's used one. Maybe Willie too.

It is my understanding that North End Cafe's Owner/Chef Christopher Seckman will be handling the restaurant portion of this. This comes from a blurb I heard on WFPL about it several weeks back. Can anyone confirm/deny?

I read the same thing in the Leo about a month ago.

Under the Derrick Beasley heading.

A friend of mine from Oregon was telling me recently about a movie theatre in Portland that featured lounge style seating, cocktails, and dinner with the movie. The description made me want to buy a ticket to Portland just to check it out. If something like that is coming to Louisville, I can't wait! Thanks for the post!

I sure hope so. It's just around the corner from where we live and the whole concept sounds like fun!

I'm pretty sure you're mentioning the Vanguard Cinema, which I believe, was supposed to open this fall, but who knows what troubles they may be running into... hopefully not the same ones that Bunbury did. http://www.louisvillevanguard.com/ fingers crossed that we see some more construction soon...
