The owners of Brother Jon’s Public House plan to open a second location in the old Bond Street Grill location on Northwest Bond Street and Greenwood Avenue.

John Machell, co-owner of Brother Jon’s, said the new restaurant will have a similar ambiance to the Northwest Galveston Avenue location, but it will offer a different menu so customers will have a reason to go to both locations. He said both locations would offer live music.

Machell hopes to open the new location, called The Ale House by Brother Jon’s, in January, he said, and plans to hire 20 to 30 people.

“We’re opening it to see if we have what it takes to open a second property,” he said. “It’s kind of our master’s exam. We’ve done it once, and now we’re going to see if we can do it twice.”
