Speaking of the Future Bars empire — which includes Bourbon & Branch, Rickhouse, Swig, The Wilson, and the brand new Local Edition which opens Thursday at Third and Market — they’ve got yet another bar in the works which is replacing the temporary Mr. Lew’s Win-Win Bar & Grand Sazerac Emporium (441 Jones) that opened last year in the former 441 Club and closed for renovations in January. It’s called Tradition, and as partner Brian Sheehy tells the Scoop, the name “will reflect the great history of making, serving and enjoying American spirits and cocktails.” So, expect another nice cocktail bar which probably won’t be as formal as B&B;, and expect it to open in a few weeks. Details to follow. [Scoop]
