A popular Village sports bar will move from its current location to the corner of McKinley and University avenues sometime during Fall Semester, but a definite date has not yet been determined, owner Scott Dalton said.
The Giant Locker Room, currently located on the corner of University Avenue and Martin Street, will have outside seating, an additional bar and a doubled occupancy when it moves, Dalton said. The bar will locate the space previously occupied by Wing-Out, which was open briefly during the fall.
Dalton and construction workers are working to remodel the interior of the future Locker Room location but are not sure when they will be done with the project.
"We need to do the job right," Dalton said.
Several dates, including Sept. 1, have been rumored as the opening date for the bar's new location, but Dalton said it is too soon to speculate when the project will be complete.
Dalton, who has owned the Locker Room for three years, said he has been looking at moving to the new location for more than a year and considered the move each time the property became vacant. Being closer to campus was one of the reasons for moving the bar, he said.
Before Dalton took ownership of the bar, the Giant Locker Room was known as the Locker Room. Prior to that, it was called Tony's Locker Room and was located near Scheumann Stadium, Dalton said.
