For those who relish Del Ray, a new Chicago-style Italian sausage and hot dog concept having a grand opening in the neighborhood on Saturday, July 18.

Cubbies will be located in the upstairs bar space of the Del Ray Public House (2218 Mount Vernon Avenue). Restaurant owner Laurel Fisher previously told ALXnow that she was bringing in a partner to operate the business.

Cubbies will be open Fridays from 5-10 p.m., Saturdays from 2-10 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m., according to an Instagram post.

ALXnow has reached out to Del Ray Public House for more on the restaurant and opening.
