Institute co-owner Charlie Collazo hasn't had much sleep since he began remodeling his bar on 12th and Green — hell, he's barely had time have a drink. But his hard work seems to be paying off — the grand opening of a second story whiskey and Wii lounge is slated for Dec. 20. Six tall-backed booths come complete with a 19-inch flat-screen TVs and a Nintendo Wii gaming systems (rental fee of $15 an hour). Six taps will sit on the window behind the bar, along with shelves filled with the best stuff on earth (no, not Snapple). On the far left wall, through the strategically placed arches that rest above the six-person gaming havens, lies a DJ booth and a small dance area. Along with the downstairs kitchen set to open in five weeks, Collazo has some more further-future plans: a roof deck bar with a large projection screen for vintage game nights.
