How would you like it if your local raceway announced that a microbrewery/restaurant was being added to the mix? Well, a Standardbred racino announced just that on Friday (March 6).
Via release, Eldorado Resorts, Inc., the owner/operator of Scioto Downs in Columbus, Ohio, announced that it will commence construction of ‘The Brew Brothers,’ a new $5.9 million microbrewery and restaurant that is expected to open at the track by the fourth quarter of 2015.
The company has said that The Brew Brothers at Scioto Downs will feature a state-of-the-art microbrewery complete with 10 brewing vessels, a 44-foot-long bar that contains 23 bar seats, 127 indoor seats, 80 patio seats, a 336-square-foot entertainment stage and a 37-foot-tall grain silo. The release went on to state that The Brew Brothers’ innovative dining menu will feature dishes created in the restaurant’s wood-burning pizza oven, smoker and custom-designed broiler.
The undertaking is part of Eldorado Resorts’ planned $9.5-million Phase II expansion of the property.
“Scioto Downs has a rich history of harness racing, and since the opening of our gaming facility in June 2012, guests in the greater Columbus market have reacted favourably to our exciting blend of racing and gaming entertainment amenities,” said Gary Carano, chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eldorado.
“Construction of The Brew Brothers microbrewery and restaurant, which will serve as the cornerstone of our Phase II property expansion, reflects our commitment to extend the Carano family’s legacy of providing guests with diverse food and beverage options across our property portfolio. Eldorado’s innovative Brew Brothers concept has proven to be very popular with our guests in Reno and we expect it to further elevate the level of unique amenities that we offer guests at Scioto Downs.”
