New Cover Lodge Leans Into Native Flavors | Bites

In the event you’ve pushed by way of the city canyon that’s Division Road within the Gulch these days, you might need seen that the brand new Cover by Hilton luxurious resort has opened at 920 Division. In the event you’re like me, you additionally might need felt a bit twinge in your coronary heart remembering that was as soon as the positioning of Yazoo Brewing Firm’s beloved taproom for years, a favourite gathering spot for native craft beer lovers.

I keep in mind speaking to Yazoo founder Linus Corridor about his choice to maneuver his operations to the outskirts of city in Madison. I actually didn’t (and don’t) begrudge his choice, however I believe he may sense my disappointment. He talked about that the brand new builders of the property had been considering of honoring the legacy of Yazoo by that includes the brewery on the future resort’s bars. I didn’t put quite a lot of inventory in that, however darned if that promise is changing into a actuality!

Cover has introduced a dedication to native meals and beverage choices on the property, together with a 5 Factors Pizza slice window and a full-service eighth & Roast espresso bar. The resort’s signature restaurant Silo has extra Nashville connections than simply “borrowing” the title of a former common Germantown restaurant (which by no means reopened after taking a success from the 2020 twister). It is going to additionally rekindle a number of the former Yazoo glory by providing unique brewery alternatives on faucet at their bar, and the title is definitely a nod to the grain silos that flanked Division in entrance of the brewery.

The kitchen at Silo is beneath the steerage of chef David Henriquez, who has created an all-day gathering area along with his fashionable gastropub menu. Later this 12 months, chef Henriquez may even open a contemporary Mexican rooftop restaurant named COA, boasting one of many largest agave-based spirits collections within the state alongside regional culinary classics. COA may even provide sweeping downtown vistas and three terraces with an outside agave backyard. 

Whereas it in all probability gained’t make me cease lacking Yazoo, it’s good to listen to that the builders have adopted by way of with their promise!
