The time has come for yes... another project! Although we actually received our liquor license a few months ago, we have not been able to do much with it. The current state of our restaurant is already bursting at the seams & the idea of where to store liquor seemed utterly impossible... and literally impossible. If you don't believe me, come stand in our kitchen for 10 minutes on a Friday lunch or a Saturday dinner & see how many times you get run over. If you don't have a purpose- MOVE! : )
Anyway, we did the most logical thing one would do in a situation like this... we decided to build a bar & add more storage!
The first thing that was completed was moving the entrance. We just re-routed the sidewalk & added a new ramp with a couple side rails. Believe me or not, but people were actually quite confused by this. Although it does not seem too difficult to figure out where to go in, we managed to stump a few!
Then began the framing of the new dining room. This will be where we can host regular dinner service or larger private parties. Plus, these diners will have a clear shot to the bar!
The windows currently to the inside will be moved to the outside wall & replaced with double doors! It is a huge renovation for Cerulean...one that we have talked about since the day we opened... who knew it would actually become a reality 5 years later! It is humbling, exciting, & scary all at the same time! I mean, we have never run a full bar before?!! I guess that is part of the fun. : )
So while we wait for the renovations to progress, this is the current state of our garage at home... I wasn't lying about lack of space!
