COLUMBIA CITY – The location that was – until recently – home to Verve Bistro & Wine Bar is available for lease.

The 1,775-square foot space sits at 3820 S. Ferdinand St. near Rainier Ave. S. From the flyer:

This highly efficient space includes a kitchen area with all necessary plumbing and electrical in place, bar seating, large curved banquette, bamboo floors, two wheelchair accessible bathrooms and air conditioning. Lease includes approximately 225 sf of outdoor patio area. Entire building has fully monitored fire sprinkler system for lower insurance rates. Water use is reduced as the rainwater coming off the roof is recycled to flush the toilets. Within a few blocks of all the shopping and services that Columbia City has to offer. Including the parking lot directly across the street ($1.00 for two hours!) there are 99 parking stalls on the same block. Location is one-half block to frequent bus service and six blocks to light rail.

No word yet on whether or not Verve owner Kate Bond will reopen elsewhere. Meanwhile, look for Rookies, the new family-friendly sports bar to open next door in the coming weeks.
