Construction is in the process to rebuild Austin Avenue Grill & Sports Bar. The restaurant, located at 935 W. Parker Road, was damaged by a fire in July 2011.
Construction began at the site in February. When complete, the property will be home to a new-and-improved sports bar larger than its 12,600-square-foot predecessor but under the same name and ownership, Manager Bruce Bryant said.
"We'd love to open for football season since it's one of our busiest times but I'm trying to be realistic," Bryant said. "It'll be the same place—of course, it will look a bit different and bigger but it'll be the same concept."
