Bart, who owns The Fold and Raduno, and Chris, owner of Cheers, Samantha’s Tap Room, and The Oyster Bar, bought the 13,500-square-foot building in the summer of 2023 after being intrigued by the site. “I’ve been driving past this space for five or six years now, and I’d gone back and forth with the guy who previously owned it because I really, really loved it,” Bart says. “He didn’t want to get rid of it at the time, but then he had some bigger projects come up, so finally he called me back one day and said, ‘You still want that thing?’” Chris echoed the feeling, noting he was sold at first sight. “People are looking for a space for cool, private events, especially for something that’s open and easy to get to,” he says.
“When you work together, you can make cool things happen.”
With their backgrounds in food service, owners Bart Barlogie and Chris Tanner say rehabbing the venue space has presented fewer challenges than opening a new restaurant. “It’s easier,” Chris says. “We’re not putting in kitchens or vent hoods; we’re not doing grease traps, because we’re going to allow other caterers to come in.”
Combining their talents and bringing industry friends into the fold have been priorities for the project all along. “Our restaurants aren’t the same cuisine; we’re not in each other’s spaces,” Bart says. “But even if we were, we’re still friends, and we work together. I think that’s the biggest challenge with a lot of people: they work against each other instead of with each other. When you work together, you can make cool things happen.”
It’s hard for any restaurant business not to become a family business. Thus, Bart’s wife, Deanna, and Chris’ wife, Samantha, have become integral parts of their husbands’ multiple properties, with Deanna involved in the day-to-day operations of The Fold, Raduno, and now Eastside Scrapyard. “Deanna has been right there beside Chris coordinating contractors and me, setting up potential new clients and relationships for the space, and contributing her input on the overall design of the project,” Bart says.
