News of a project we had once thought had been abandoned – the former Gunn’s Cleaners building at College & Magnolia in the Near Southside is indeed still being converted to an Italian brew pub named Zio Carlo. Extensive work has been going on at the building, which dates to 1916 and has been many things over the years, including a garage and of course a dry cleaner.
In these photos, you can see the work going on on the building’s west side. There will be outdoor seating here, and some of this work has to do with that. Other work is dealing with ADA-compliant access to the building.
We don’t have an ETA just yet, but it’s just wonderful to see the project continuing after its run-in with trouble earlier in the year. Zio Carlo plans to serve up beers brewed on-site and a selection of authentic Italian food to go with them. Click on the photos for a larger view.
