That building looks tiny. Could be a pretty nice spot to swing by a grab a drink before a game or concert

I looked at this building last night before the Thunder game... It sure is small, but makes me really curious as to how they are going to utilize the space! can't wait for this place to open

The layout for the space shown back in post numero uno makes a lot of sense and maximizes the space as well as it can be. I'm not a big patio type person myself, but the one they plan certainly ought to help their bottom line by permitting more folk to enjoy part of an evening there.

Just think how little it will cost to heat and cool the place.

Cool little building. Being it's such a short walk from Level, I'll be sure to check it out.

What's the story on this place? I thought this could be a nice little connection between Deep Deuce and Bricktown...

They appear to have added a walk-in fridge on the west side of the building. It's covered with some wallpaper looking fake brick, it looks horrible. That is the only change I've seen however.

Work almost stopped on this for 2 months at least but activity has picked back up this week.

Really? I don't recall administratively approving that. Hmmm. Now that I'm not staff, I can't check it either. I'll do some digging though.

[wschnitt]

I do not think so either. I am going to go past there on my way home from the boathouse and will scope it out.

Here's what was approved by the BT DRC:

Ok, I checked BCA-12-00001, the Administrative Approval for the work being done. It specifically says "erect a new walk-in cooler to the west of the existing structure. The walk-in cooler will be faced in brick to match the existing structure." And, for good measure, the plans specifically show brick, not a wall covering, around the walk-in.

There's also a detail drawing for the walk-in that shows full-depth brick.

This is very much like one of my favorite Mexican restaurants at Manhattan Beach years ago. Seated about 10 inside and had tables outside. Small can still crank out good drinks/food.

[BadBear]

I'll be walking by it later today, I'll check and maybe snap some pictures. I haven't inspected it closely, but I am positive the last time i walked by it was not real brick. Hopefully I'm wrong.

[wschnitt]

Its bad. Basically they punched a hole in the wall about the same size as the fridge door. Then they covered the fridge in brick tiles and put the fridge up next to the building with the door facing interior so it can be opened from the inside. REALLY REALLY CRAPPY work. It is a commercial walk in fridge but still.

I was wrong, BadBear was correct.

[Urbanized]

It's thin brick. That is, it is actual terra-cotta brick material, but in thin slices that are individually stuck to the wall and grouted, rather than physically stacked on one another in courses with mortar.

But it's still not what was presented to be the material...

I wasn't defending or indicting, only reporting...

[BoulderSooner]

This looks like it is just about ready to open. The rooftop patio is really coming along.

rooftop??

[Pete]

It's just an enclosure, probably for HVAC equipment:

thanks pete

Well at least they are doing something. I have been by there several times and there is never anyone there. It seems like this is taking forever for such a small space.

While I'm excited at the prospect of a new establishment, two things come to mind when looking at these photos:

1) I hope they landscape
2) That looks to be some shoddy construction work
