Following a two\u2013year search for space in Saratoga Springs, owner Troy Miller has begun his latest expansion of The Bunker, an indoor golf simulator, restaurant, upscale pub and event center at Congress Park Center, 307 Broadway.<\/p>\n

Miller said golf has been the number one sport during the pandemic because outdoor gatherings were allowed. He and minority partner Robert McKutcheon opened the Clifton Park location only last year, saying, \u201cit\u2019s a scary thing to push forward into Saratoga, but I am glad we did.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the prior 12 months other locations were opened in New Hartford, Utica, North Greenbush, and Mohawk Harbor in Schenectady.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The newest location will occupy two floors and Miller said they will build stairs between the floors for a total of 11,000 square feet, making it the largest location.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaratoga is probably the most well-known gem in the Capital District, and we are happy to have some level of control over the entrance to it,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span>Another feature at The Bunker on Broadway is that the town is allowing installation of sliding doors on 90 percent of the frontage, said Miller, so it can bring the outdoors in.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the summer we will be able to open up all the doors and give a real open-air feel to the restaurant,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller was already familiar with the space formerly occupied by VENT Studios. His construction company did the build-out for VENT, but that location didn\u2019t become of interest to him until the second floor became available, he said.<\/p>\n

The Bunker is a destination for \u201ceat-ertainment\u201d where people can come to sit at the bar and enjoy good food even if they don\u2019t golf, he said. There will be both a pub and full restaurant plus an event space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not finalized the menu with our executive chef, but at this location we plan to have more upscale pub food than the other locations,\u201d he said. \u201cThat may include specialty wraps and poke salads and some other diverse choices in addition to wings and burgers.\u201d<\/p>\n

For golf simulation, Miller said The Bunker purchases equipment made by TRACKMAN, which is top of the line and makes his business more exclusive. \u201cThat is the brand used by all the professional golfers. When you watch TV and see the ball tracking, that\u2019s the simulator they use.\u201d<\/p>\n

But The Bunker is \u201cso much more than golf. You don\u2019t have to golf at all to get an awesome experience,\u201d he said. He hopes to open 307 Broadway in December.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to put our best location forward and make it an amazing place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
