Former Crow Bar, South Congress Commercial Site; appears to be nearing a successful re-opening.

 Hey George, 

You are correct, we are very excited to open a second location of "The Wheel" in the old Crow Bar location.  We are in the later stages of construction and hope to be open by the end of the year! FBR Management 

Per one of the contractors I, GVM spoke to on-site today, he said, "CROW BAR appears to be a few weeks if not a month or 2 from being ready to re-open. "

Its appears the new usage will also be a BAR biz.
