Renovations are ongoing at the stainless steel diner cars on Lee Road
In a little more than two months Cleveland Heights residents can try the latest business venture to hit the diner cars on Lee Road. Katz Club, at 1975 Lee Road, will open in early or mid-April as a '50s style diner and event center, said Amy Viny, who will handle marketing and social media for the new eatery. Cleveland Heights resident Douglas Katz purchased the property there in November with the help of a $200,000 loan from the city. "We're thrilled about what's going on," said Viny, who serves the same role for Katz's popular Fire Food & Drink on Shaker Square.

Owner Jim Barle hopes customers make it a routine to visit the restaurant.
Jim Barle is already acting on customer comments he's received about his new business, Barlē Soup & Sandwich. The hours were originally 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily, but he changed them to 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. after he noticed a lull in the morning and received requests from people to stay open later. Barlē (pronounced "barley") just opened April 1 in the historic Rockefeller Building on Mayfield and Lee, which Barle bought into in 2001 with the previous owner and took over in 2004. "We always said we just hope we become a part of people's routine," he said. "We really try to be service-oriented in terms of making people feel like they're taken care of."
