Boasting a combination of art, coffee, food, spirits and music, PG, a new cafe on Franklin Street, is creating much buzz in the community. Owner Todd Huber created PG because it was a place he wanted Evansville to have when he was young.

“I came back to Evansville wanting to create a place to have people play shows,” Huber said.

Located on Franklin Street, PG fits right in with other local shops that have been making much progress. Huber shares the property with Tin Man Brewery because of prime real estate and family values.

As a matter of  fact, the two Franklin business owners are brothers.

“We started building about a year ago,” Huber said. “There’s not a lot going on in Evansville and this was a prime location.”

The grand opening was a complete success, with a lot of interested locals observing the art, enjoying the refreshments and showing lots of excitement for this new Franklin Street business.

“We sell beer and wine upstairs so it can be 21 and under downstairs,” Huber said. “We also have food.”

Many locals came specifically for the music and art. Local artists submitted artwork to be displayed during the opening, and local musicians debuted new music and helped solidify PG’s grand opening. Lightmares, a local electronic jazz group, drew in many fans.

“I came because I heard Lightmares is playing,” Jayson Harry said.

Sitting by himself, he took in the art and his surroundings and was content.

The art was beautiful, he said.

Justin Sala, the front man of Lightmares, was honored to play at the opening event.

“I was surprised at the design,” he said. “The brick wall interior was an amazing touch.”
