Quench To Open at Former Beale Street Location

The doors at 9712 Traville Gateway Drive have remained shut since Beale Street Grille closed in November, but not for much longer.

Quench, a restaurant inspired by bars and pubs such as San Francisco’s Elixir and Brooklyn’s Clover Club, will open at the former Beale Street Grille location in April.

Open Tuesday through Sunday, Quench initially will offer a full menu of dinner, dessert and cocktails. Fridays, the restaurant will serve a lunch menu featuring items from many of the area's popular food trucks. It will open for Saturday and Sunday brunch later in the spring.

The restaurant is owned by Michael Holstein, a Montgomery County native making his first venture into the restaurant industry.

“We badly need a place that offers the dining, drinking and socializing experience of the city, with the convenience of the suburbs," Holstein said in a press release. "[Quench] is basically a place for grownups—people too old for lemon drop shooters and Miller Lite specials—to hang out in a really cool and comfortable atmosphere.

"It’s something I think our area has been missing, and I think the community is going to love our team."

Joining Quench and Holstein at the Traville Gateway location are general manager Kimberly Squires, executive chef Richard Gunter, and mixologists Matt Allred and Steve Oshana.

“We have two amazing mixologists, both of whom we were lucky to lure out of the city and to the suburbs,” Holstein said. “They’re coming up with cocktails, mocktails, skinny drinks, house-made sodas; things that have never been seen out here before.”
