Stewbo's Reviving Arctic Bear Restaurant
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013
A new restaurant with a familiar name will soon be opening in Albany, when the Arctic Bear comes out of hibernation early next year.
Restaurant group Stewbo’s recently agreed to lease what was Wagner’s Barbeque’s drive through facility on Dawson Road, with plans to turn that location into the new Arctic Bear.
According to Stewbo’s co-owner Bo Henry, the group plans to start renovating the space after the holidays in hopes of getting the restaurant open by late January or early February.
“It’s a ways off right now,” Henry said. “We’re going to get started on it right after Christmas. We’ve got a lot to do like cleaning and painting and right now we’ve got a lot of stuff going on. Once we get through Christmas we’ll jump on it full force.”
