The cafes will be enclosed areas adjacent to the businesses. Food and alcohol will be allowed to be served in these areas. Adjacent parking spaces will be removed to create each cafe.
Locations/Parking:
Please note at the patio locations some adjacent parking spaces will be removed. Some of those spaces include 15 minute spaces. The City of DeKalb will also be working to convert other 15 minute parking spaces in the immediate area to long term parking to help off-set parking loss.

- O'Leary's on S. Third Street (3 parking spaces removed on 3rd St., with motorcycle spaces being created and 1 parallel space in lieu)
