Varga Bar looking at second week of May

Meal Ticket hears that Varga Bar, the neighborhood pub restaurateur George Anni and chef R. Evan Turney (Valanni, Mercato) are working on in the former Azul at 10th and Spruce, will make its debut sometime during the week of May 11. As of right now, they're waiting on the installation of some bar equipment so they can start setting up the 22-tap draft system.

Back in March, we teased a few details about the project, including some ideas about the beer selection (it would include both American and Belgian choices) and a few proposed menu items. Well, now it's time to nix anything that don't bleed red, white and blue � Turney has apparently tweaked Varga's approach to include only American beers and American comfort foods. Sorry, bernaise sauce!
