Tabu Lounge & Sports Bar taking over Sal's
Tabu Lounge & Sports Bar taking over Sal's

Meal Ticket just touched base with Jeffrey Sotland (Mikey's), who, along with brother Steve and GM/partner Chris Lyons, will open Tabu Lounge & Sports Bar in the former Sal's on 12th at 200 S. 12th Street.
Slated to open in the first week of March, Tabu will bring together two concepts — a sports bar on the ground floor/in the basement, and a plush lounge with LED lighting and room for a DJ on the second level. The space is currently undergoing a cosmetic overhaul (no real structural tweaks); the sports bar portions of the space, which'll have multiple TVs and pool tables, will carry 12 beers on draft (lots of locals) and a comfort food-inspired menu that'll feature plates like "spa salmon" (a grilled filet in parchment paper), hanger steak with homemade tots, lobster ravioli, portobello mushroom sandwiches, kobe sliders and chicken wings both fried and roasted. No chef to name just yet.
Sotland makes no bones about the fact that Tabu is in the heart of Midtown Village/Gayborhood, and stresses that the bar will be a welcome spot for all demographics. They'll be open daily from 11 to close.
