Miller’s Ale House is on its way up at the former Buca di Beppo location in front of The Avenues mall.
The city issued a permit Monday for Venture Construction Co. to build the restaurant at 10334 Southside Blvd. at a cost of $1.2 million.
Plans show the 241-seat Miller’s Ale House will comprise a 7,149-square-foot building with 1,003 square feet of unenclosed space on 1.86 acres.
Plans indicate the restaurant will comprise 166 inside seats and 75 in the patio room. Interior seating includes 22 bar seats.
Realco Recycling Co. was issued the permit to demolish the former Buca di Beppo restaurant, which closed at year-end 2017. That 8,494-square-foot building was developed in 2003.
It will be the sixth Northeast Florida location for Orlando-based Miller’s Ale House. In Jacksonville, the company operates in Mandarin, Regency, the Tinseltown area of Southside and at Hodges and Beach boulevards. It also has an Orange Park restaurant.
Miller’s Ale House, a casual sports restaurant, operates 88 locations in 13 states, including 54 sites in Florida, according to its website.
