Restaurant To Replace Oconee County Offices In Property On Main Street Opposite Courthouse In Watkinsville

The Watkinsville City Council at its next meeting on Sept. 21 is to take up the business license application of Edward Grenvicz, who plans to operate a restaurant in what is commonly referred to as the Dolvin building facing Main Street in downtown Watkinsville.

Pour Bistro, according to the business license application, will be an “upscale restaurant” offering beer, wine and distilled spirits as well as food.

The building will undergo remodeling and is scheduled to be open for business in November, according to Grenvicz.

The sketch of Pour Bistro shows a patio dining area from which patrons will have a view of the Courthouse across the street and the historic Eagle Tavern next door.

Until Wednesday, the Dolvin building housed the Oconee County Planning Department and Code Enforcement Office. Late on Friday afternoon, staff of these county departments were trying to fit into smaller space at the Government Annex south of Watkinsville.
