An upscale American restaurant, The Blacksmith is looking at opening in late summer at 216 N. Shannon St., in downtown Jackson.

“Craft burgers, salads … a full bar,” said Ben Green, who will serve as manager. “We’re working on a menu, and we are going to dedicate a day to hammer it out.”

Besides renovating the 5,000-square-foot building, management is committed to making use of the patio.

Ben said the restaurant will be open seven days a week, and business hours will be in the 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., range.

“We want to take advantage of everything that’s going on downtown,” Ben said. “And, we want to help support and promote downtown activities.”
