Nashville-based West End Restaurants told the Post the restaurant will not be called BrickTop’s, adding a name has yet to be determined. The future restaurant will operate from a large space at the skyscraper’s northeast corner at Demonbreun and Almond streets across from the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

West End Restaurants said that although the future restaurant will have a much different decor and feel compared to that of a BrickTop’s, it will feature “all the hallmarks of our BrickTop’s locations: great food, excellent service, comfortable atmosphere and a menu with broad appeal."

The restaurant space will cover approximately 7,000 square feet, the company said. It will feature an outdoor patio and the capability of hosting private dining events.

So a Bricktops with a different name.. I've never really been a fan so I guess I'll steer clear. Was hoping for something unique in a space like that.

I was hoping for a Houston's.

The River House will be the name of a new 300 seat,  7,314 restaurant in the Bridgestone Tower at 200 4th Ave. South.  It is associated with the same folks who do Bricktops Restaurants.

Sorry, but that building is just so bland IMHO. Glad it's there for the street activation, when that restaurant is opened. And it adds height at that end of downtown. However, it's easy to look past. And the blue glass makes it (and other buildings with the same glass) nearly invisible some days.

This concept should appeal to a different clientele than the touristy spots.  With the addition of Four Seasons, this part of SoBro is going a bit upscale.  The wife and I really like Cafe Intermezzo.  This is a part of downtown I can walk around in without thinking that a drunk tourist will throw up on my shoes.

 I like City Tap, Bakersfield, Farm House,  Southernaire Market so that will be a nice addition to the area.   Cafe Intermezzo is a cool coffee shop...........tables are a little small, but i like the open air setting.   Will be even nicer with that Four Seasons across the street from it.

Is that a reflection...or a crack in the glass with tape over it?

Probably left over from when a chair blew off one of the decks and hit that pane during a thunderstorm.

Looks like Bridgestone is about to have a... Blowout.

Maybe projected blades of glass off the side of a 30 story building aren’t a good idea.

Signage for the new restaurant at the base was put up this week.

The barricades were up for a glass replacement project. They were replacing a few panels on the find that were damaged in a pretty bad windstorm last year.

Valet parking slot for the restaurant looks done.  Inside of this place is going to look cool when completed.

Kind of a cool angle.
