An Iowa City/Coralville based restaurant group will be taking over the restaurant formerly known as Axel's Sports Grill and opening it as 30Hop.

30Hop owners Dan Blum, Erik Shewmaker, Matt Swift and Brian Flynn own and operate several restaurants and bars in Iowa City and surrounding communities.

They currently have a 30Hop location in Coralville.

Some changes expected for the rebranding and renovating include changes to the seating areas and expanding the usage of the rooftop patio.

The owners say the rooftop patio and layout will mirror many of the same qualities the Coralville location has.
