The newest restaurant to join Murchison Road will be opening today, June 24, at 11 a.m.
The Ville Wings & Bar, the new restaurant brought to the community by the founders of Uptown's Chicken & Waffles, will be officially open for business at 1911 Murchison Road.
To celebrate, the staff will be hosting “Opening Week at the Ville,” a week-long celebration for the community to try their recently released menu featuring 20 wing flavors, handcrafted menu items, signature drinks and more.
“I am super stoked about this,” shared Uptown’s Owner, Chef Judy Cage (Chef Judy) about the new location. “We're going to utilize the patio area over there as well, because we want people inside and outside. We just want to make so much noise on Murchison Road that you can't help but notice something's going on over there.”
The new location was the result of an impromptu move by Uptown's Chicken and Waffles to remain open while their original location was undergoing renovations. (Read the full story here.)
The Ville Wings & Bar will be open Tuesday to Thursday, 11 a.m.- 8 p.m.,
