The new restaurant opening soon in the former Jury Room space at 22 East Mound Street isn’t quite ready for customers yet, but it is ready for a new name: The 1831 Tavern. The pre-opening name change comes in the wake of negative response to the previously announced name: Balls.
Owner Joe Milano told us in November that the name reflected the menu’s focus on various types of meatballs and meatball-related dishes. But response to the announcement was mixed and/or negative across social media platforms where most associated the name with its more juvenile meaning.
According to signage on the windows of the new restaurant, it will feature “Balls, Bar, More” and is slated for a January opening.
