Brownie's The Shed Grille & Bar re-opens in new location

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A popular Louisville restaurant that was forced out of its space just reopened at a new location.

Brownie's The Shed Grille & Bar opened Thursday afternoon 9900 Linn Station Road, near Timberwood Circle, in Plainview.

The owner scrambled to find a new location when it was forced to move out of its former spot in the Whittington Shopping Center in June to make way for a business center and apartments.

The owner said he's especially excited about the patio area, and the look and feel of the bar.

"Honestly, I couldn't be happier with the design -- the layout -- how it all came together," said owner Jason Brown. "I think people are going to be surprised how much it is like [the restaurant's previous location]. I'm just excited for us to carry over the same tradition, just in a more updated space."

Brown added that there's been a lot of anticipation for the restaurant's re-opening.

"We actually have to lock the door because customers won't stop coming in and driving by," he said. "We have a joke that they're over there with binoculars, just keeping an eye on things, making sure progress is continuing."

Brownie's plans to open at 4 o'clock daily for the first week, but will open earlier for regular lunch hours later in October.
