Club Gemini to become sports bar under new management
Club Gemini is under new management and in the process of becoming a daytime sports bar.
Michael and Amberly Hill took over the bar, at 4111 Wheaton Way, about three weeks ago.
The bar will host a grand re-opening with a live band from 8 p.m. to midnight Feb. 26.
Michael Hill said he plans to add TV screens throughout the building for a sports bar feel by day, while the bar will play country and rock music at night with DJs on the weekend and the occasional live band. There is also a new appetizer menu and a selection of five kinds of Silver City Brewery beers.
The move marks an effort by the club to rehabilitate the club’s image following a string of managers and a shooting in February of 2010.
Michael Hill is originally from south Seattle and has been in the bar industry for 20 years, including a stint as the manager of McCloud’s on Perry Avenue. Amberly Hill is from Seabeck.
