Last night when PJ Strain told me that he was adding a patio
to his Pure Wine Café in Ellicott City my
first thought was where. Sitting inside the small cafe I thought the place was boxed in on three sides, with no room in front for outside tables.
I was wrong. PJ walked me out front and showed me the empty
lot next to his building that will soon provide outdoor seating for about
twenty Pure Wine patrons. The patio is actually perched about ten feet above Main Street .
In addition to the patio, PJ is also adding another dining
room, next to the existing bar area that will fill the space between the bar and
the new patio.
Work is expected to be completed this spring.
