Fries & Schuele, the West Side’s finest department store for more than 100 years, has been plucked off the vintage rack during the past decade. Luxury condos and McNulty’s Bier Markt now occupy the historic building.
And like a classic little black dress, Bar Cento, a joint venture of chef Jonathan Sawyer and Bier Markt owner Sam McNulty, is a perfect fit for this Ohio City spot. The landmark was rehabbed and reinvented and that’s exactly what Sawyer is doing with his dishes.
