New Italian Restaurant on Main Ave Underway
The owners of Fireflour Pizzaria and Coffee Bar are adding a new restaurant to Downtown on 5th and Main which is currently under construction. Follow them on Facebook for updates (click logo above).
“Anima Cucina is going to be a different sort of concept as a restaurant. Inspired by several of our favorite places during our time in Italy, it’ll be a “little bit of everything” like many of the wonderful cafes and restaurants there: coffee bar, deli/lunch/dinner, wine bar. The biggest thing to be aware of is that we won’t have traditional table service. Instead, it will be counter based. You’ll be able to come up and talk to a knowledgeable and well-trained staff member about the phenomenal wines, beers, and products we’ll have available. Grab a bottle of wine, relax, enjoy time together and some amazing food. Live life a little slower.”


The CraftCade to Open on 4th St
A new business concept is coming to Bismarck, an arcade/bar-restaurant call the CraftCade is currently renovating a space next to Glance Spa & Salon on 4th Street.  The business will feature retro video games, pizza, brews and more.  The “barcade” concept has taken off nationally including regionally in Rapid City, Fargo, Minneapolis.  This will be the first of its kind in Bismarck.  Find them on Facebook for progress updates (or click logo above).
