More about Cornerstone

Owners Alex Popov and Chris Hoff opened Cornerstone in 2017 after about two years of rebuilding a gutted former pool hall. The building covers some 13,000 square feet, split evenly between the restaurant and a music room that holds about 500 people, with balconies and its own sound booth.

The bar runs roughly 50 feet, and a light fixture made from 20 thrifted brass cymbals hangs in the lounge. Large folding doors cut into the old back brick wall open the interior onto the patio.
