MGM Lounge & Bar is now open in the building formerly known as Eddy's Sports Pub, located at 9105 E. 56th St., in Lawrence.
LAWRENCE — The owner of Vegas Lounge & Bar in Indianapolis has opened a second Las Vegas-themed club.
As residents of the east side, Davis and Savage both knew that together they wanted to open a bar catering to the Lawrence area. They just didn't know it would happen only three months after the doors of Vegas Lounge & Bar first opened. A longtime bartender of the sports pub will still be roaming the new MGM bar, the local VFW will continue having weekly meetings in its private event space, and there will still be games and sports coverage on all of the TVs.
"It's going to be a 'Cheers' meets the 'Bellagio,'" Davis said, describing the eventual evolution of MGM."There is going to be a new coat of paint. Maybe some new fixtures or new furnishings. We want to make it, again, the same neighborhood bar it's always been."
