After eight years on Gulf Blvd., Category 36 Taphouse & Kitchen has a new location.
The pizza and bar food spot was closed for nine months after damage from last year’s hurricanes, per ILoveTheBurg.
Last month marked its debut at 348 Corey Ave., including its first Thanksgiving open in the new spot. Category 36 is known for its massive sausage strombolis, along with pizza and other bar fare like wings and sandwiches. It’s also open for breakfast and coffee starting at 10 a.m. on Sundays, including a breakfast Stromboli.
Its grand opening celebration is Dec. 13, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., with live music and food specials.
