\u201cMy day starts really early,\u201d Mogavero, who co-owns EAT Bistro & Drinks<\/a> in New Castle with her husband Jeff Ellis, said. \u201cIt\u2019s so important for me to provide a gathering space where people can just sit down and break bread.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since opening in September 2017, EAT Bistro & Drinks has served entrees that span the globe including blackened Alaskan halibut, homemade lasagna rollatini and even Philly cheese steak out of a building, which dates back to the late nineteenth century. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was built in 1890 and it\u2019s still standing today,\u201d Mogavero said. <\/p>\n

However, with an indoor seating capacity of just 24, Mogavero and Ellis plan to add a 900-square-foot barroom to EAT Bistro & Drinks\u2019 existing location at 316 W. Main St. <\/p>\n

Ellis, a professional architect, has doubled as the mom and pop eatery\u2019s bartender since the restaurant\u2019s inception.<\/p>\n

Following a couple years of preparing customer favorites like the Cosmo Kramer out of a small space in the restaurant\u2019s kitchen, the couple decided it was time to add a barroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people, they come in and see the restaurant is full and they don\u2019t want to wait,\u201d Mogavero said. \u201cWe are expanding because we want to accommodate everybody.\u201d <\/p>\n

The addition, which will practically double EAT Bistro & Drinks\u2019 size, will include a bar and lounge area where patrons can enjoy craft cocktails, wine and beer.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll enter into the barroom and you\u2019ll be able to walk through to the dining room area,\u201d Ellis said. \u201cWe\u2019ll be keeping the same ambiance and atmosphere but it\u2019ll be a little bit more casual.\u201d <\/p>\n

The new barroom, like the restaurant\u2019s dining room, will not include TVs but instead provide a community gathering space where residents and tourists alike can converse over hot food and cold drinks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll be a place to gather and have a really nice conversation,\u201d Mogavero said. \u201cThose things seem to get lost nowadays with modern technology.\u201d  <\/p>\n

Mogavero and Ellis hope to open EAT Bistro & Drinks\u2019 new barroom in January 2020 and may start serving drinks a little earlier and stop later than the restaurant\u2019s traditional hours.<\/p>\n

EAT Bistro & Drinks serves dinner from 5-9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got the most amazing staff,\u201d Mogavero said. \u201cPeople feel like they are coming home when they come in to EAT.\u201d<\/p>\n
