Two new downtown restaurants slated to open this fall will be able to give patrons the option of dining outdoors.
The Madison Plan Commission approved outside seating and dining areas at the Madison-owned Brickhouse BBQ and the Austin-based Logan's May 18.
According to The Capital Times, Brickhouse BBQ, located at 408 W. Gorham St., will likely open at the end of summer when the two-story brick building is finished with renovations. The restaurant will be able to seat up to 200 customers, with 14 outdoor seats on the ground floor and 40 outdoor seats on a planned third floor rooftop terrace.
Jong Yean Lee, owner of Brickhouse BBQ, also owns several other downtown establishments, including the Church Key Pub & Grill, Riley's Wines of the World, and Samba Brazilian Grill.
Logan's Roadhouse at 322 W. Johnson St. will be housed in the former Angelic Brewing Company location. An outdoor bar suitable for 32 guests and table seating accommodating 58 guests will occupy the 9,000 square foot building.
The opening of a Madison location will be the fifth addition to the restaurant chain.
