Upscale Sports Bar to Open on N. Central Avenue
Cabernet and goat cheese cheeseburger is an example of what the menu will offer.
Audrey Del Gaiso will be the front of house manager for the soon-to-open Clayton sports bar, The Wheelhouse, and she's excited about the menu.
She calls it a classic pub menu with a modern twist.
“All of our selections are very thoughtful,” she said. “For instance we have a Cabernet and goat cheese cheeseburger. It’s onions with Cabernet reduction and topped with goat cheese.”

The chef is Nick Del Gaiso, recently of Scape.
She said the three owners previously managed bars and they decided to take it up a notch. All three, at one point, worked at a large Columbia, MO, bar.

“We’re not businessmen,” Del Gaiso said. “We’re all people who are real excited to take what we’ve learned and apply it to something new.”
One of the owners, Stephen Savage, called it an upscale sports bar.
“It will be nice upscale clean environment, but it’s affordable and comfortable,” Savage said.
He said there will be live entertainment Friday and Saturday. They’re planning on having “more than 33 TV’s.”
The restaurant is set to open at 15 N. Central Avenue around the beginning of May.
