The Pony is slated to open the first week of May.

The old Gunther Murphy’s has been gutted and transformed into a sleek neighborhood bar, from the exterior now covered in panels of Brazilian wood to the slate entryway to the 2,500-square-foot first floor decked out in hickory wood accents. Pony up to the 38-foot copper-plated bar, sink into a bucket barstool and fix your eyes on the illuminated bar made of colored glass and wrought iron piping. The owners (a team that includes the guy behind Lotties Pub in Bucktown) are aiming to turn this place into a go-to spot for locals. To keep ’em coming back? Look for a menu of comfort food faves such as grilled cheese and a meatloaf sandwich.
