The Deep Groove<\/a> \u2212 a new cafe and lounge replacing a longtime Brady Street business \u2212 will open in mid-October.<\/p>\n That’s according to co-owner Todd Dunsirn.<\/p>\n It’s located at 1200-1204 E. Brady St., the former home of Brady Street Futons<\/a>. That business closed after more than 30 years at the corner of East Brady Street and North Frankline Place.<\/p>\n The new caf\u00e9 and lounge will feature live music, a used vinyl boutique, and a menu influenced by the neighborhood\u2019s Polish and Italian heritage.<\/a><\/p>\n Dunsirn and his wife and co-owner, Kim Forbeck, met and raised their kids in Milwaukee. They see The Deep Groove as an opportunity to give back to the community.<\/p>\n \u201cWe built this like a tribute to the city, its music scene, and its art scene,\u201d Dunsirn said.<\/p>\n The couple\u2019s musician son will manage it.<\/p>\n A soft opening with coffee and bar service will take place over the first few weeks of its launch before phasing in other services and programming.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are always excited when new businesses choose Brady Street to be their home,\u201d said Michelle Eigenberger, the Brady Street Business Improvement District board chair.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are particularly excited about the impact to daytime business that The Deep Groove will have,\u201d Eigenberger told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.<\/p>\n Now that construction is complete, Dunsirn and Forbeck will work on the logistics of the business and finish minor renovations, such as creating a new entrance.<\/p>\n All the woodwork in The Deep Groove, including the bar, was handcrafted by Dunsirn and two others. Forbeck designed, decorated, and painted the interior.<\/p>\n
