Caven announced today that JR.’s Bar & Grill will be closing its first floor area for renovations, but that the second floor will remain open. So happy hour is safe, but it sounds like the bar is getting some impressive redos according to Caven president Gregg Kilhoffer.

“Everything is being improved, floor to ceiling”, he said. “Our guests can expect a familiar space, but with a new feel, new fixtures, new audio and video and new state-of-the-art technologies that will improve the customer experience.”

The parent company mentioned renovations will commence after the end of business on Feb. 5 and expected to go on for about six weeks. The bar’s regular schedule of events will be moved down the block to TMC: The Mining Company along with some of the JR.’s staff. The upstairs area will remain open on the weekends. When first floor renovations are done, they’ll flip the bar and close off the second floor to continue the upgrades.

“I hope our guests will be patient during this process,” Kilhoffer added.  “Change is good, and we think the results will be worth the inconvenience and the wait.”
