Brandon Bohannan, the owner of The Barrel in Bartonville, will open a new restaurant in the old Barley & Board space on the Denton Square.
Located at 100 W. Oak St. since 2015, Barley & Board closed its doors last month.
Bohannan has signed the lease to bring a new concept, Mexican Oak, to the Square. Mexican Oak will bring “a fresh take on modern Mexican and Southwest flavors,” Bohannan stated on Facebook.
“Executive Chef Jorge Romero is crafting a menu inspired by his roots in Mexico, infused with flavors from his travels as a chef through Chicago, Dubai and Fort Worth.”
No opening date was announced, but Bohannan suggested it could take just a few months for Mexican Oak to open its doors.
