Brian Myers at 517 Felix
A pair of downtown activists and business people hope to infuse a long-vacant block with some new life.
Brian Myers and Amy Heath of the “Lucky Tiger” store were expected to sign a lease this week for a long-neglected storefront at 517 Felix Street. The pair hope to open the “Tiger’s Den” in mid to late spring.
Myers tells us the bar and bookstore will offer fine wines, specialty beers and cocktails with fresh, and freshly-made ingredients. Myers says he’ll make his own simple syrups and infuse his own flavored-vodka drinks.
Meyers says they’ll start with used books on the shelves, but could sell new books as well.
He expected to get the lease this week and anticipates a grand opening this spring.
