Expect Pick 6 sports bar on Harrison Avenue to be open in time for the upcoming college and pro football seasons.

The two-story, 3,600-square-foot establishment will go where Rude Brothers once was in South Lake Tahoe.

Local property owners Mike McKeen and John Cefalu gutted the building and are essentially creating an entirely new venue. The roof and siding are expected to be completed by the end of June, with tenant improvements then beginning.

The bar owner, Matt DeLima, is a graduate of Lake Tahoe Community College. He also has a location in Pleasanton with the same name. Pick 6 refers to an interception in football, with the player running the ball back to score a touchdown for six points. A separate, smaller restaurant is also being leased by the same owners. Details about it have not been disclosed.

On the second floor of the sports bar will be a deck on the front. A slice of it will have a view out to the lake.

Expect wall-to-wall televisions to fill the sports bar, with patrons able to see an array of sporting events. Food will be available.

Even though the location only comes with 15 parking spaces, the plan is to have people park in the lot next to Tahoe Mountain Lab because it is rather vacant after 5pm, and then in other nearby lots as well. There is also a group looking at buying the two city-owned lots on Pasadena Avenue and paving them over. Harrison businesses are also looking at instituting a three-hour maximum for parking in the area.
