A new sports bar and trading card shop hybrid concept is preparing to open in the former Circuit bar and arcade space in Scott's Addition.

Circuit closed in November after a six-year run.

State of play: The dual concept Parlay Bar & Lounge and Graybo's Sports Cards is from Richmond-developer Duke Dodson, of Dodson Companies, and designed for sports fans, per a news release.

Zoom in: Parlay will have high-def TVs, lounge seating, a putting green and five "semi-private pods" available to private, high-end sports-viewing parties.

Partnering on the restaurant are chef Robyn Carter and restaurateur Kelsey Biser, the team behind Colonial Beach restaurants Drift Seafood + Bar and Muse Pizzeria & Arcade.
On the menu: Pizza, sandwiches, entree salads ($12-$18), apps and a full bar.

Graybo's Sports Cards, which Dodson and business partners opened in January 2023, is moving from its existing space at 214 E. Grace St. to larger digs inside the 3117 W. Leigh St. spot.

What's next: The Grand Opening celebration is slated for Saturday, 3-8pm and will include live music, the Preakness Stakes on TV, and food and drink for purchase. Admission is free.
