After a year of hard work, Paul Jonas – who also owns Tonic Tavern – is ready to share his bar, Urban Bay View, 2301 S. Logan Ave., with the public.

OnMilwaukee got a sneak peek at the space a few months ago. The bar, formerly Gerry’s Diamond Tap, was completely rehabbed.

Milwaukee Record reported earlier today that the soft opening will take place this Friday, May 20, but according to manager Paul Kennedy, the license should be obtained no later than Wednesday and the soft opening will either be Friday or Saturday.

"My guess is Friday, but it could be Saturday, too," says Kennedy.

Stay tuned to OnMilwaukee for more information when it becomes available.
