A new restaurant opened its doors in Macon near Mercer University on Monday.
Amici is a Georgia-based restaurant with about nine locations across the state, according to owner, Bob Ewing.
"Here at Mercer we have built a rooftop bar; we are right across the street from the Mercer football field," Ewing said.
He added that he's hoping the awesome view from the rooftop bar, named the 'Bear Bar,' will get some Mercer fans in the door to enjoy what the restaurant has to offer.
The rooftop bar will open up for the first time this Thursday beginning at 4 p.m.
There will be live music at the restaurant throughout the week and this Friday, the restaurant will have its first band, Freelance Ruckus, on the rooftop.
Ewing says Amici has a local, friends and family vibe with the bar being an added bonus. The restaurant offers a diverse menu, which includes pizza, wings and sandwiches.
"We've won many awards for our wings and our pizza at several different other locations throughout the state," he said, highlighting the restaurant's bestsellers.
The restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. each Monday through Wednesday and Thursday through Saturdays, Ewing says the restaurant will stay open until around midnight for some after hour festivities.
On Sundays, Amici will be open from noon until 9:30 p.m.
Ewing added that the hours may fluctuate pending the start of football season and other festivities.
Amici Macon is in the Mercer Landing plaza, located at 1510 Mercer University Drive.
