POTSDAM — Downtown Potsdam is getting a culinary and entertainment boost with the arrival of three new businesses under one roof at 6 Elm St.
A building that sold earlier this year will soon be home to a burrito shop, steakhouse and dance club.
Brasher native Bob Pike, owner of Burrito Bob’s, recently moved his Mexican-style eatery into the former Saint Larry’s restaurant location.
Pike said his lease was up on Market Street and he decided now was the time to move and expand. Burrito Bob’s is operating out of the downstairs of the building.
“Things are going well,” Pike said.
So well in fact, that Pike has launched Circuit Music Venue and Club, which has a bar and dance floor. A third business, a steakhouse, is also in the works.
Circuit Music Venue and Club, operated by Pike and his wife Jen, has quickly become a popular nightspot. Located on the second floor, it features a large dance floor, a bar with late-night food service, and entertainment including music and karaoke for patrons 21 and over. The club operates Thursday through Saturday from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.
The remodeled building will also soon house The Char House steakhouse.
“I saw an empty space and thought it (steakhouse) fit a need in the area,” Pike said about his decision to purchase and transform the building.
The Char House is expected to open closer to summer. The steakhouse will offer a menu featuring steaks, chicken, pasta dishes, and burgers, with plans to serve dinner seven days a week and lunch Thursday through Sunday.
Burrito Bob’s, which has been open for just over a year, serves burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and burrito bowls, with meat options including beef, chicken, and pork, as well as vegetarian choices.
With these ventures, Pike says he has already employed around 20 people and expects to hire another 10 once the steakhouse opens.
