MONTICELLO — A sports bar that is having its last hurrah today will reopen as a restaurant later this year.

At its meeting on Monday, the Monticello City Council will consider liquor licenses for a new business opening at 219 W. Washington St. City officials said Bucks Pond Properties LLC has bought the property and will open a restaurant at the location this fall after “substantial renovation.”

“The first-floor business, Legends Corner LLC, will be operated by Melissa Pratt and will be a restaurant with an indoor bar and outside patio,” city officials said. “The applicant has requested a Class B and a Class H liquor license for the establishment, and they will be applying for a video gaming license as well, if approved.”

FieldHouse 219, currently located at the site, will have its last day of business from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. today.

Additionally, there will be a liquidation sale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 18 and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 19. All sales will be cash only and must be paid on site.
