Lil' E's Whisky River update

Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Whisky River is one of several spots slated to open in uptown's EpiCentre in coming months.
The complex, which will house retail, restaurants and bars, may not have a splashy grand opening anytime soon because spots will be opening one at time, said Bar Management Group’s Bob Durkin. But the countdown to the EpiCentre’s opening has begun.
Whisky River, a bar and live-music venue, may open in March. Sometime later this month or in February, the club will have a contest for Whisky Chicks (cute girls who will work there) and deejays. Also in late March, Durkin plans to open the EpiCentre’s rooftop terrace. It’s going to have a crazy view of the city’s skyline, a bar and a stage.
Next up are Suite, a Top 40 club and lounge; Howl at the Moon, a dueling piano bar; and BlackFinn Restaurant and Saloon, BMG’s Irish pub concept, which might be ready in May. The bowling alley may be open by this summer.
