PETRA, a boutique real estate brokerage and development firm located in Jacksonville, made the announcement on April 11.

The popular new spot will be located at 100 East Adams Street. The owner said it’s one of the most visible corners in the city.

Operator Tim Hoal and business partner Elias Hionides said they were “automatically drawn to” the energy of the Mediterranean Revival-style architecture of the building that Duval County property records show was developed in 1926, the Jax Daily Record said.

There is no word on when the bar will open. News4JAX has reached out to PETRA for more details.
