Bosses Office
Eastsiders had to say goodbye to Swift Pizza in 2022. Just six short weeks later, a speakeasy opened in its stead which is a not-so-well-kept secret we’re happy to be in on. This new concept by Adam Jacoby and Kris Swift is an elegant and moody lounge offering up extravagant cocktails and tasty small bites.

Opening in summer 2023, this New York-style tavern from Travis Tober of beloved local dive bar Nickel City will be located on Webberville Road. While the menu is yet to be announced, if Murray’s is anything like its predecessor, it will be simple, innovative, and down-to-earth.

New Restaurant: Marufuku Ramen
Joining the lineup of Mueller restaurants is authentic Hakata-style Tonkotsu ramen joint Marufuku. The distinct rich, umami broth is made by boiling pork bones for long hours. This creates a flavorful base for the delicious, thin noodles ripe for slurping.
