What once was a little carwash on the corner of 12th and Gilmore is now a dominating presence in the 12 south District. They could see it but not many could, Jay Pennington from an operational standpoint where Billy Inman sees things from an esthetics point of view, working together things made sense. The design and concept evolved over the 13 months it took to take a little carwash to the multi-environment restaurant/bar/patio/beer garden that opened in April 2012. Urban Grub offers a feeling of coziness with its private cabanas and its many fire pits as well as the open air atmosphere in the beer garden with in-outdoor bar. All custom designs, there is something new and beautiful to be found around each corner.
