G.V. Hurleys Restaurant and Bar in Sacramento

G.V. Hurley's Restaurant & Bar in Sacramento is finally hiring!

After a few months of delays, it looks like G.V. Hurley's at 2716 J Street in midtown Sacramento will be opening in late March!

Located where the old Radio Shack used to be, the restaurant will join forces with Blue Que, Harlow's, MoMo Lounge, Gianni's Trattoria and Centro Cocina Mexicana, as it positions itself on one of Sacramento's finest midtown nightlife 'corners' at J and 28th Streets.

Why G.V. Hurley's? I actually was asking that myself, since the name isn't that catchy and in my opinion, pretty hard to remember...According to the SacBee, the owners came up with the name by using the names and business interests from the principal partners, all developers - Brian Vail of River West Investments, Steve Goodwin of Township Nine, Pete Geremia of St. Anton Partners and Hurley Construction.

Leave it to a group of men, right ladies?! I would just named it.......Pink.

C. D. Harley's, I mean....G.V. Hurley's was originally slated to open by the end of 2007, but parking issues forced the owners into a decision to demolish the Carrow's (which they also owned) on the corner of 28th and J, to make way for more ample parking space for the new restaurant. Nonetheless, the owners seem optimistic and excited about bringing "regional American food and southern inspired fresh seafood" to a corner known for its more ethnic menu choices.

Plans for the "masculine, yet edgy" restaurant include, a large Paragary rivaling rear courtyard, a circular bar in the center, plenty of outdoor patio seating on J Street and lots of, and I'm quoting, "fire and water themes." (Me like Fire.)

I'm sure a few of their wives intervened to help tone down their caveman design ambitions and I have no doubt that with the men involved with this project, G.V. Hurley's will be wonderful addition to the block! Can't wait to check it out...
