Posted the following yesterday over at Eater PDX. For my site I've added an extra quote from Alicia Rose at the end.

Mississippi Studios partners Jim Brunberg and Alicia J. Rose have inked a new partnership with Portland entrepreneurs Peter Bro (Aalto, Broder, Savoy), Tali Ovadia (The Whole Bowl) and Kevin Cradock to enable an expansion into the former Mississippi Station space and the neighboring patio lot — just in time for summer. The new space, called Bar Bar, is said to have some sort of "cocktail lounge meets chemistry lab" vibe.

Bar Bar's grand opening, set for July 10, is the same day as the Mississippi Street Fair, with July 11 being the kick-off date for an outdoor patio concert series "Mississippi Summer Sessions" that's free to the public and will feature local artists (lineup TBA).

"Are we excited - HELLS YES," says Rose. "The former Mississippi Station space and the empty patio lot next door have been underutilized for years, and we look forward to incorporating them both into what will soon be an amazing entertainment compound like nothing North Portland has ever seen.  Amongst other major stylistic renovations to the space, we will be creating a pass through archway between Mississippi Studios and Bar Bar to connect them permanently, a new green room for artists, stunning second floor private event space, the introduction of a spanky new cocktail menu, and a classic burger and biscuit based lunch-dinner-late-night-weekend brunch food menu menu that promises to rock the neighborhood...Viva la Mississippi!"
