Elevator restaurant giving old garage a new beginning as beer birthplace
Tuesday, November 6, 2007

The interior walls are sandblasted back to the brick, and the beams are clean down to the wood.
Work is going well on Dick Stevens’ efforts to turn a former Goodyear garage at 165 N. 4th St. into a brewery that will serve his Elevator restaurant, on High Street, as well as 35 other accounts in central Ohio.
Stevens, who opened Elevator in 1999, has been brewing beer in Marysville, but a lease dispute prompted him to consider another location. An acquaintance led him to a site about four blocks from the restaurant: a building on 4th Street that was owned by Dr. Robert Falcone, former president of Grant Medical Center.

Very cool…nice for downtown.
Oh I hope they do open house brewery tours. In Atlanta on Tuesdays and Thursdays Sweetwater would open their doors for tours; on Fridays it was Atlanta Brewing Company (ABC). They weren’t tours so much – you go, you pay 5 bucks, you get a nice pint glass and 5 refil tickets! Great place to hand out after a day of work with your buddies and real cheap too.
*Crosses fingers it happens here*
Yeah, I’m happy to see them moving downtown, too. That’s great to have more stuff moving downtown, and to bring the brewery in locally… awesome! Tours of the brewery would be nice.
And has anyone been to the new breakfast place in Short North? I’m happy to see one there; I think that was one steady thing Short North needed, was a good breakfast place.
Tasi? I had breakfast there at around 7:30 last night! It’s great… highly recommended.

Things like this make me so excited to be moving into the city this month that I can barely contain myself.
