Azure Cocktail Bar Set to Take Over Old Jericho’s Space
Azure Cocktail Bar is planned for the former Jericho’s Restaurant location at 11732 West Dodge Road. N.U.M Consulting, LLC has applied for a liquor license, and a city council hearing is scheduled for September 29. Jericho’s, a prime rib destination, closed permanently in February after almost 50 years.
A new cocktail bar called Azure is proposed for the site that formerly housed Jericho’s Restaurant at 11732 West Dodge Road. The applicant, N.U.M Consulting, LLC, has filed for a liquor license, with a city council hearing set for September 29.
Jericho’s, known as a prime rib destination, shut down permanently in February after nearly five decades. The planned bar would occupy that same West Dodge Road address, marking a proposed change in use for the longtime restaurant space.
The change could affect longtime patrons mourning Jericho’s, nearby residents, and the local dining scene. A cocktail bar may bring new evening traffic and a different atmosphere to the West Dodge Road area, potentially benefiting neighboring businesses while raising questions about noise or parking. How the city council handles the liquor license may shape whether the site becomes a smooth transition or a point of neighborhood debate.
