Where there’s smoke, there’s Proof. Tremont’s newest restaurant will host its grand opening on Thursday, March 19. The 50-seat craft bar and "bar-bq" is the third business to move into 2258 Professor Avenue in the last three years.
“We really wanted to unleash the potential of the lower level,” explains owner Dave Ferrante. Ferrante’s Visible Voice Books and Megan and Michael Griffin’s Crust opened in the fall of 2017, occupying half of the reimagined space.
Proof General Manager Erin Ruppel is curating a menu of local brews, approachable craft cocktails, and rotating bourbons to complement the dishes but also stand on their own. “We’re being very intentional about our drink list," says Ruppel. "This is a restaurant, but it’s also a cozy spot in the heart of the neighborhood. Perfect to nip in for a happy hour toast or a nightcap with friends.”
Prior to the March 19 official grand opening, Proof invites the public to the following exclusive pop-up events:
Taco Night: Tues., March 3, 5-9 p.m. (tacos, chips, queso, salsa, and full bar)Sandwich Night: Fri., March 6, 5-9 p.m. (sandwiches, sides, and full bar)Daylight Savings Dinner: Sun., March 8, 5-9 p.m. (meat by the pound, charcuterie board, and full bar)
