SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 9
Step into a new experience at Torchy's.
Upon arrival, the first thing you'll notice
is new flooring, large white tiles with
a marble finish that brighten the entry
area and offer a more spacious feel.
Gone are the white pillars. In their place,
a new doorway into "Torchy's Den," the
name now given to the space formerly
called Lower Torchy's.
"is remodel is the first significant
change to Torchy's in probably 20 years,"
WAC Vice President Food & Beverage
Peter Christian says.
e goal, Peter says, was to bring a
more casual feel to Torchy's Den and
transform the space into the go-to place
for members seeking to work remotely.
e den will be open from 7 am until
9 pm on weekdays. Weekend hours are
also expected.
Another round of Torchy's upgrades
will include a fireplace. New metallic
wallpaper and a raised ceiling in the
foyer already have enhanced the flooring
change. "e Club is continuing to
evolve its dining spaces to accommodate
what members want for working and
socializing," Peter says.
For the first time in Club history, the
WAC will operate a fitness facility out-
side the Clubhouse walls. WAC REV will
be open to tenants of Madison Centre, a
new state-of-the-art high-rise located at
the corner of Madison Street and Fih
Avenue in downtown. e building is
scheduled to open this October.
