"The group behind the redevelopment of a former Skaneateles restaurant and bowling alley has released the first renderings of what the beloved space will look like.

Woodbine Hospitality Group, of Syracuse, is redeveloping the former Hilltop Restaurant and Cedar House Lanes on West Genesee Street into a new restaurant, taproom, coffee shop, wine bar and game area with hotel rooms, Woodbine President Tom Fernandez told The Citizen. The development's name and branding is still being finalized, he added.

Earlier this month, East Aurora brewery 42 North announced it will operate the taproom in partnership with Woodbine. Fernandez said the brewery will bring quality beer and "vibrancy" to Skaneateles.

John Cimperman, owner and founder of 42 North, told The Citizen the group "shares quite a bit of DNA with 42 North, including a commitment to quality and guest experience."

Woodbine hopes to work with 42 North on beers exclusive to the development, Fernandez said, including barrel-aged ones. The group also expects them to partner on live music and entertainment.

The development's game area, meanwhile, is depicted in the first renderings Woodbine has released to the public. It features dartboards, bowling lanes, a board game library and simulated golf stations.

In an email, Fernandez called the game area "a gastropub-inspired gaming social" that, together with the many food and beverage options, will create "a welcoming space for families and friends to gather over great food and drink." The concepts were inspired by the Skaneateles community, he continued, which made the Hilltop and Cedar House a popular destination for more than 30 years.

"The revitalized Hilltop development will bring dynamic food and beverage dining experiences to Skaneateles," Fernandez said. "From kid’s birthday parties to family dinners and drinks with friends, Hilltop will be a year-round destination for all ages, feeding the community through warm hospitality, fine fun, and hand-crafted, locally sourced food and beverage."

Exterior construction will be finished soon, Fernandez said, and interior work should begin in early April, including foundation construction. Woodbine hopes to open the development by late fall.

If the 20 to 25 efficiency hotel rooms on the development's new second floor aren't finished by then, Fernandez continued, the group could open with just the food, beverage and game areas."
