New to the Neighborhood: Lowlander Brewing/Un Po Tipsy

This month, we're spotlighting the recently opened Lowlander Brewing, Un Po Tipsy, and the upcoming Mio Oh Mio - the new trio of restaurants in the neighborhood by chef Renee Erickson.


Located at the former site of the iconic FX McRory's, Lowlander is a tank bar and brewery serving beer from the tanks rather than a traditional keg. Un Po Tipsy is a pizzeria attached to the bar, serving New York-style pizza by the slice. Mio Oh Mio will offer a more intimate, fine dining experience with an upscale menu and a 32-seat capacity.


Be sure to stop in to check out the new spots and grab a drink or a bite. Follow Lowlander, Un Po Tipsy, and Mio Oh Mio for updates and announcements.
