    Cosmic Dave’s Rock Club (11310 Juniper Rd.), an offshoot of Dave’s Cosmic Subs, which opened in the former Barking Spider Tavern property just prior to the Covid pandemic, closed last summer. Earlier this spring, Jolly's Pizza & Pub opened in the iconic carriage house space on the campus of Case Western Reserve University. The new shop builds upon the success of the original Jolly’s, which opened three years ago in North Royalton (6120 Royalton Rd., 440-220-4353).

    Cleveland Restaurant Management Group (CRMG) and Brad Friedlander have announced that they will be taking over two spots recently vacated at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst. Those spots are Bar Louie and California Pizza Kitchen and the new concepts are The Legacy and EVOO, respectively. Once again, longtime operator Friedlander is looking to the past for culinary inspiration. Over the past couple years, he has revived both Lopez and Moxie, two restaurants that enjoyed much success in previous years.
