He said crews began removing surface fuels in the area on Friday but the terrain is “extremely steep and rugged.” 10.While much of the Sugar fire’s footprint has been contained, a portion of its western perimeter near Ross Canyon continues to present challenges for the team, according to Cagle. This marks the second major change among existing Ironworks businesses after Strange Donuts transformed into Nautical Bowls, with its grand opening on Dec. He expects construction to begin in early January and if everything aligns properly after that, he hopes to have Brick + Bramble open in March. High said the restaurant's ambience is still under discussion. For desserts, a pastry chef will be hired he or she will create a rotating variety of seasonal sweet treats to cap off any meal. There will be course meals available for groups to order. For entrees, there will steak cuts, seafood and chops – lamb and pork. Foodwise, the menu will focus on shared plates with transcontinental cuisine choices (similar to how beer works at Global Brews) that diners can pick and choose – charcuteries, wings, hummus and more. “The goal is to get groups of people to come in,” he said, adding that he wants Brick + Bramble to be a destination, not a stepping stone for diners before they go elsewhere.ĭrink options will consist of B + B’s takes on traditional and modern cocktails, premium bourbons, tequilas and a robust wine list. High said a focus will be on semi-private dining rooms that cater to couples, foursomes or parties of up to six or eight people. Total occupancy should be around 100 customers, he said. There will be seating in booths and at pub tables. A prominent, large bar that seats up to 20 people will greet customers upon entering. He said the kitchen area will remain unchanged but some interior walls in the dining room will be demolished, the rest of the dining room will be refreshed, along with the restrooms. “In 2020, we said we would give Sugarfire two years,” he said of the Sugarfire concept. Louis.Īfter contemplating what direction to go in next, High said he and his partners decided to pivot to the beverage side of the industry. In 2023, if residents still crave Sugarfire’s fare, High said Sugarfire 64 in O’Fallon will remain open, as will the other Sugarfire locations in St. Another factor is market saturation – Doc’s Smoke House, 1818 Chophouse, Edley’s Bar-B-Que, Texas Roadhouse, even Bagley Farms Meat Market, among others. One way to counter price hikes is to raise the cost of menu items, but High said after such a price increase, they quickly hit a ceiling, as customers made their disapproval known. Another factor is that minimum wage in Illinois continues to rise. He said food and production cost increases played roles into the decision to close Sugarfire, too. “A lot goes into opening Sugarfire for a day there’s a lot of prep work that goes into it.” “The pandemic was tough on this segment,” High said. A positive he noted however, is that they did not lay off any staff members during lockdown.
One of those factors was the COVID pandemic. High said Friday that several factors have been in play over the past two years since he took over Sugarfire’s ownership at the end of 2020. Ryan High, owner of Sugarfire and Global Brew, both of which are in the Ironworks development, posted on Facebook Thursday that Sugarfire 618 will close its doors on Dec. If you’re a fan of Sugarfire 618, you have about three weeks to indulge in it before it closes for good. The owners will then transform the place into Brick + Bramble, which should open in March 2023. Sugarfire Smoke House will close its doors on Dec.
