Biba, from the Tria team, to open in August

Jonathan Myerow of Tria sent us a couple teaser details about Biba, the bar he aims to open in late summer in the Left Bank building at 3131 Walnut. (We first mentioned it back in February.) The name — not to be confused with the tween demonspawn that is Justin Bieber — is derived from the Latin verb "bibere" (to drink), and that's what the space'll be all about, with 26 wines by the glass ("focus on value," says Myerow) and 10 beers on tap bottled beers, plus one local cask selection. To eat, "wine-friendly" light bites like cheese, charcuterie and chocolate. While many people view the Trias as resources given their expansive, ever-changing fermentable selections, Biba will carry more of a laidback, neighborhood hang type feel. The bar is small; they'll have room for 34 inside and 12 on an outdoor deck. Proposed hours: Sun.-Thu., noon-mid; Fri.-Sat., noon-1 a.m.

[...] It’s apparently, maybe, probably not going to open in August. [...]
