New Wine Bar Set for 50th and Penn

Former Pierre's Bistro space has new tenant-to-be.

The stalwart of 50th and Penn had been serving French cuisine for over 17 years until owners decided to "move on to another adventure," according to a post on the restaurant's Facebook Page.

Now, it looks like the hole opened by the restaurant's closure will be short-lived. According to The Heavy Table, the Broder family plans to open a wine bar in the space.
