'Bachelor Pad' Star Hopes to Open Restaurant in Clarendon

Bachelor star Chris Bukowski has a restaurant in the works.

Chris Bukowski, a restaurateur who was a contestant on ABC's reality show "Bachelor Pad," is hoping to open up a sports bar in Clarendon, he told Northern Virginia Magazine.

He hopes the bar will be friendly to men and women, with a "softer ambiance" than a typical sports bar, Bukowski told the magazine. He hopes to open the restaurant sometime this spring.

A name for the restaurant hasn't been decided yet, but could be as early as Friday, Bukowski announced on his Facebook page Thursday evening. He is deciding between the names Bracket Room or ChangeUP, according to his the page.
