Deagan's Kitchen Coming to Lakewood

Chef Demetrios Atheneos is leaving his post at Bodega (1854 Coventry Rd., 216.932.3060, bodegaoncoventry.com) to join the team at the soon-to-open Deagan's Kitchen and Bar (14810 Detroit Ave.). Dan Deagan is presently reworking the old Crazy Rita's space in Lakewood into a warm, upscale pub with exposed brick walls and salvaged barn siding. Chef Atheneos describes the food as "chef-driven pub fare with a twist," applying playful touches to traditional pub cuisine. Diners can look forward to things like truffle fries, Italian sausage sliders, soy chile-glazed wings, tuna tartare, as well as salads, sandwiches and entrees. A new draft beer system will dispense 30 craft selections. Look for an early August opening.
