NEW OPENINGS AND RETURNS
Jackie’s
Last week, the team behind the Pearl District bar Two Wrongs opened a new bar called Jackie’s in the former Century Bar space. Rather than a traditional “sports bar,” the owners refer to Jackie’s a “bar with sports,” focusing on casual, group-friendly drinks and snacks in a lively setting. Bartender Tony Contreras developed the bar program, which includes draft cocktails like watermelon hibiscus margaritas as well as low- and no-proof drinks, while Grand Cru Hospitality devised a food menu with crowd-pleasers like birria brisket nachos, hot wings, barbecue pork sliders, and shrimp po’ boys. The bar also features a rooftop patio.
