Two vacant Mississippi storefronts will soon welcome new watering holes: The intimate space that formerly housed Lupa Wine Bar will be turned into Sidecar, a bar by Davis Street Tavern co-owner Blake Smith "and a couple other friends who mostly just enjoy good drinks." No menu details yet, but projected opening date for the 30-seater is February 2011.

And just across the street, a liquor license application reveals that Moloko Lounge owner Christian Fitzpatrick will soon open Uchu, a 87-seat Japanese-influenced concept that will serve up sushi, noodles, and fried chicken until 2am nightly.
