The owners of the The Chimes Restaurant and Tap room are expanding their business past Baton Rouge. The new location: Covington. The Chimes owners recently purchased a little more than 7 acres of land outside Covington on Highway 190, said The Chimes co-owner Tim Hood. The owners ultimately want to have two restaurants on the large amount of property, but for now, they are just beginning the design process for the new restaurant, he said.The new restaurant will be designed to look similar to an old commercial wooden building, he said. Hood said the building is going to be built on the bluff, and a deck is going to be constructed at the back.Hood said the Covington location of The Chimes should be completed before summer 2010.—-Contact Joy Lukachick at [email protected]
