HYDE PARK — Sip and Savor is expanding to add beer and wine this summer.
Owner Trez Pugh III has applied for a liquor license for his coffee shop at 5301 S. Hyde Park Blvd. with plans to do the same at the Bronzeville location.
“It’s going to be classy,” Pugh said.
He said Sip and Savor's hours will likely be extended once the liquor license is finalized.
“I’m not trying to be a bar, pouring shots and all that crap,” Pugh said Friday. “On nice days, you can go out on the patio with a cigar and glass of Merlot.”
He said he’s hoping to have all the licensing and inspections done in time to start serving this summer.
“I’m hoping by July, but that’s being aggressive,” Pugh said.
He said Hyde Park will be the testing ground and he will apply for a liquor license for the location at 528 E. 43rd St. if it’s working at the Hyde Park location.
