Ivy Lounge & Grill will open at 1118 N. 4th St. on Saturday, June 4. Ivy will feature contemporary decor, a full lounge including an extensive mojito menu and food items including sandwiches such as grille chicken and hand-pulled pork, specialty burritos and appetizers.
OnMilwaukee.com's Jeff Sherman and Molly Snyder originally reported on Ivy in April.
Jenkins – who co-owns the business with Steve LaMontagne – is the former owner of Cush Lounge which burned in the Pizza Man fire in January of 2010.
"After the massive fire, I was devastated. After the incident I took some time to refocus and pursue other opportunities. However, I was called back to my passion for entertainment," says Jenkins.
