Last October, Kingside Diner announced that it would be moving a short distance away, into the former Gamlin Whiskey House space, at 236 N. Euclid in the Central West End.

Kingside closed its previous location last week and softly reopened in the new space at 6 a.m. on March 29. “We said it would open in first quarter of 2021,” says owner Aaron Teitelbaum. “We made it by two days.”

Kingside Diner held its grand opening on Monday, April 5; a later night offshoot, Kingside After Dark, will launch later this month.

The kitchen was overhauled from floor to ceiling tile. The basement is home to new coolers and a pastry prep area.
