Paul Jonas, owner of Tonic Tavern, will open UC Jonas’ in the former Gerry’s Diamond Tap, 939 E. Lincoln Ave., as reported by Milwaukee Record.

"It will be a low-key sports bar," Jonas told OnMilwaukee.com. "And named in honor of my father – Urban Charles Jonas, Jr. – who was an incredible athlete."

Jonas’ father, who passed away a few years ago, played football and basketball for Marquette University and was a Triple A baseball pitcher. He also is a Hall of Fame member of the Milwaukee County Golf Association.

Tonic bartender Paul "PK" Kennedy will manage the new space, which will open this summer.

"I will be moving over there full time," says Kennedy. "My days at Tonic are numbered."

Gerry’s Diamond Tap closed in 2013
