Two businesses are under construction in East Bayside. Both are located in the former World’s Gym space on Marginal Way.
Naomi Hall, co-owner of the former Omi’s coffee shop, is launching a new cafe. Luna (instagram) will be co-located within the new Salud Portland fitness facility. In addition to serving coffee, snacks and smoothies, Luna will also offer drop-in childcare “providing caregivers a chance to relax, recharge, or enjoy a fitness class while their little ones have fun in a supervised play space.”
Kevin Moschella has leased 15,288 sq ft of space where he plans to open Minibar (instagram) which will feature an 18-hole indoor minigolf course and a 125+ seat sports bar and restaurant. Chef Josh Berry is consulting on the menu for Minibar. Some ideas for the menu are dishes like arancini, north shore roast beef sliders, lobster roll sliders, mac and cheese balls, and burgers. Minibar will have a full bar featuring boozy milkshakes, local beers and spirits, and craft cocktails. Moschella’s vision is to create a venue with a wide appeal for people of all age that can also be a destination for group outings, celebrations and corporate events. He hopes to launch Minibar in early June.
