In Downtown Stamford: The Fez Is Set to Reopen This Week

It was five years ago when The Fez introduced its Moroccan inspired menu, eclectic wine offerings, underground vibe and a steady stream of diverse musicians to Stamford’s downtown.

In June, The Fez began a summer-long renovation. And now the work is nearly complete.

“The original inception of The Fez laid down the foundation,“ according to Fez founder Eric Monte. “Now it’s time to take things to the next level. We are not reinventing the wheel here – we are just making things a whole lot Fezzier.”

A refreshed brand was first on the agenda, which encompasses The Fez’s signature fez hat and scimitar sword, and will now introduce the iconic fez hat clad monkey, a traditional companion to the Turkish accordion players. There’s also new web site, with menus, event information and an in-depth live music calendar.

The Fez’s interior renovation includes a new dining room, bar, and performance space, framed in vibrant red walls, eclectic artwork, and posh drapery. The bar capacity has nearly doubled in size and an added bar section has been created stage side where music enthusiasts can pull up a front row seat while enjoying drinks and dinner. The stage area is enhanced with contemporary lighting with a state of the art sound system.

The Fez’s music program is now under the direction of a house band, The Casablanca Project, led by musician Bobby Fiorito. For bookings, bands can contact Bobby directly: Booking@FEZEG.com

The Fez grand reopening is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 15 and will feature the Casablanca Project and The Juicy Grapes, along with special guest appearances from Monte’s and Fiorito’s musician friends.
