Caf\u00e9 Subterr\u00e1neo Boutique<\/strong> in North Park is doubling its space with the acquisition of 800 square feet from an adjoining computer shop. The annexation will be complete sometime in November, said Gene Padigos, who owns the business with his wife, Kelsey.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cafe is always full and this seems like a natural progression,\u201d Padigos added, noting that he plans on further expanding the wine and beer selection.<\/p>\n

Recent newcomers to the menu, which are also available at Subterranean\u2019s Hillcrest location (412 University Ave.<\/em>), include brown sugar lattes, Soyrizo burritos, and steamed buns with pork or spinach. The couple also operates a walk-up outlet in Little Italy (1500 State St.<\/em>) for coffee, tea and bagels only. 3764 30th St., 619-780-0916<\/em>, subterraneancoffeeboutique.com<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lack of signage and minimal, earthy d\u00e9cor define the new Fernside<\/strong> in South Park, which offers a limited menu of elevated bar food and a sophisticated cocktail program that\u2019s been all the rage since its recent opening.<\/p>\n

The establishment replaces South Park Abbey<\/strong> and is run by a trio of local industry insiders: Adam Cook of Bluefoot Bar & Lounge<\/strong>; Shane Gerde of Esp\u00edritus de tajamares<\/strong> y Consortium Holdings<\/strong>; and Christian Siglin, the veteran bar manager whose crafty inventions we\u2019ve witnessed at Bankers Hill Bar + Restaurant, Nobel Experiment<\/strong> y Sycamore Den.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently, the menu includes a couple of salads and several share plates such as avocado toast, wings, nacho fries and assorted rolled tacos, including sweet potato. It\u2019s due to expand in the coming months. Of the cocktails, some are on draft. They include nitro negronis and Spanish-style gin and tonics. Handmade options feature \u201crevisited\u201d white Russians, apple martinis, sherry cobblers and more. 1946 Fern St., 619-255-9591<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Without warning, Brazen BBQ Smokehouse & Bar<\/strong> in Hillcrest shut down in the first week of October after operating for seven years on the high-traffic corner of Washington Street and Fifth Avenue. Unsuspecting customers were taken by surprise when encountering a notice taped to the doors stating its closure. The announcement is also posted on Brazen\u2019s website. It reads in part: \u201cIt is with great sadness that we can no longer provide you with our award-winning BBQ. It is our hope that we always served you well.\u201d 441 Washington St<\/em>., brazenbbq.com<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
