Man who lit Zebb's Restaurant on fire sentenced for multiple fires
Zebb's, located in the Mattydale Plaza, closed last fall. It had been a staple on Route 11 for nearly 40 years.
Something new is about to be on the menu.
The owner of Maplewood Bar & Grill, Frank Bell, is renovating Zebb's and plans to open his restaurant this summer.
Maplewood Bar & Grill recently closed inside the Holiday Inn Syracuse Airport, off 7th North Street. Bell said the restaurant had been open for more than three years before it shut its doors in February.
Bell said he closed it, intending to relocate to another location. He said he's been looking for about a year for the perfect spot. He liked the former Zebb's because of its space. The restaurant has nearly 5,800 square feet of space.
It's a homecoming of sorts for Bell, he worked at Zebb's decades ago.
Right now, Bell is remodeling the inside. He said Zebb's had a very 1980s feel. The glass cubed walls have been removed, and other modern finishes are being added.
It will also have a stage for live music. Bell said Maplewood Bar & Grill is known for its live music performances.
We'll keep you posted on this summer's opening date!
