ONEONTA _ Workers
painted tables, adjusted
lights and made other preparations
Tuesday inside and
outside space at 99 Main St.,
where Asian-Mex Restaurant
is to open Friday.
The premises later will
have a bar, the Sake Club,
which will offer band performances,
dance space, projection
of sports games and
an area with games such as
pinball and darts, said business
manager Looi, who goes
by his first name.
The bar and restaurant
is opening at the site of the
former Silver Bullet. Inside,
there is a restaurant area
with dining booths, two bars,
a kitchen and a dance floor.
The menu will offer Chinese,
Thai, Korean, Vietnamese,
Malaysian and Mexican
food. He said restaurant
hours are from 11 a.m. to 10
p.m. weekdays, until 11 p.m.
on the weekend, and until 9
p.m. Sunday.
There are two other Chinese
restaurants on Main
Street downtown. Looi also
manages Tokyo Tavern, a
Japanese restaurant on Main
Street.
Looi said the goal is to
open a club in Oneonta
where residents and college
students older than
21 can have fun. The dance
floor is about 1,000 square
feet, including a stage for
a band and a platform for
pole dancing. The wall will
be painted with a subway
theme mural.
``It’s going to be a hot
spot,’’ Looi said. ``There are
many possibilities to have
fun.’’
The Sake Club will sell
memberships for $35, which
will include discounts to
club events and free admission,
Looi said. The club will
have a cover charge of $3, he
said, and the club awaits a liquor
license from the state,
which may arrive in a couple
of weeks.
Looi said he didn’t know
how many employees would
be hired for the restaurant
and bar.
The kitchen and restrooms
have been remodeled. Looi
said telephone numbers for
the restaurant and bar are
431-1198 and 431-1888.
