Mill Avenue Management Group broke ground on its two newest restaurants – La Bocca Urban Kitchen + Wine Bar and Modern Margarita – both located at 1 E. Boston St. on the southeast corner of Boston Street and Arizona Avenue in Chandler.
The restaurants will take over the former Coach & Willie’s location – a combined 6,000 square feet of space – and both venues are targeting late spring for formal opening to the public.
Though each of the restaurants will retain their individual concepts’ signature décor and menus, both will share the expansive kitchen space, a novel approach and one rarely done – if ever – in the Valley.
This will be the third La Bocca Urban Kitchen + Wine Bar location in Arizona, joining fellow locations on Mill Avenue in Tempe and on High Street in Northeast Phoenix. This will be the second Modern Margarita location in Arizona, joining its sister restaurant located on High Street in Northeast Phoenix.
Guests can expect many of the same house specialties and menu favorites at each of the restaurants, as well as exciting new cocktail menus and promotions unique to the area.
Both venues’ cocktail menus are being developed by famed mixologist and Mill Avenue Management Group beverage director JT Tillman, a celebrated USBG Spirits Professional with more than 20 years of experience both in front of and behind the bar.
Each of the La Bocca Urban Kitchen + Wine Bar, Modern Margarita locations, and Handlebar in Tempe, are owned by Mill Avenue Management Group, who bring more than 40 combined years of experience in the restaurant, nightlife and event industries to the exploding culinary scene in Arizona.
