The news that C.J. Mugg’s Bar and Grill was closing at 101 W. Lockwood Ave. in Webster Groves was followed almost immediately by the announcement that it will be replaced by Madrina, a “modern classic Italian dining experience” from restaurateurs Frank Romano and Stanley Browne.

Madrina is scheduled for a mid-October launch, following a remodeling of the historic Gorlock Building space, situated on the corner of West Lockwood and North Gore avenues.
