A seventh Barriques location is coming to 2116 Atwood Ave. It will be the first on the east side for the coffee/wine shop. Wine tastings on Friday nights every other week are in the works; expect food similar to the other locations (sandwiches, soup, a handful of salads).
The El Grito Taqueria trailer will be setting up in front of Gib’s Bar, 1380 Williamson St., every Thursday night in October. El Grito has done other pop-ups in front of Underground Butcher and at ShopBop headquarters. Watch its Twitter (@ElGritoTaqueria) for updates.
Perhaps taking a cue from Willy Street’s PaintBar, Monona Drive’s Fired Up Pottery, a paint-your-own pottery studio, applied for and was granted a liquor license, to sell wine. On the application, owner Kim Stanfill-McMillan describes the target audience as “Moms with kids that want some time off to bond with other moms and do art while having wine.” Amen, sister.
