Gill’s to Open Thursday

Gill’s (website, instagram) is scheduled to open on Thursday. The bar is being launched by Michael and Siobhán Sindoni, the owners of Wayside Tavern, along with chef Rian Wyllie. It’s located in the former Bao Bao space at 133 Spring Street.

The drink menu (see below) includes a set of house takes on classic cocktails like the Gibson shown above along with wines by the glass, and draft and packaged beer. Wyllie’s kitchen menu includes apps, salads and sandwiches and will be expanding to include a pair of desserts and a lamb neck shawarma. Shown here are the Moxie pork ribs and a not to be missed patty melt.

Gill’s seats ~40 people overall with an 8-seat bar along the right-hand wall and a mix of booth and high top tables filling in the remainder of the dining room. Molly Miller from Meter Haus consulted on the design. Miller was also the designer of Wayside Tavern.

The business is named after Gill’s Handy Store which was located at 133 Spring Street in the mid 20th century. The present day Gill’s will be open Thursday through Monday opening at 4 – 10 pm, and until 11 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
