Dublin, Ohio – North Market is excited to announce the opening of BBQ & The Pier, a new seafood and barbecue concept now open at North Market Bridge Park in the space formerly occupied by COLO Market & Oyster Bar.

Continuing the tradition of serving fresh oysters in the Market, BBQ & The Pier offers guests a menu featuring fresh oysters, barbecue favorites, fish & chips, fried shrimp, and other coastal-inspired comfort fare.

The concept is led by Enis Ndreu and Elvis Lloshi, two experienced hospitality operators with deep ties to Columbus’s restaurant community and North Market itself. Ndreu is the owner of Holy Crepes, a longtime North Market favorite with additional locations at North Market Downtown, East Market, and a popular food truck operation. Lloshi brings more than a decade of restaurant experience, including 10 years with Iron Grill, where he managed both front-of-house and back-of-house operations and helped run the restaurant’s food truck program.

“BBQ & The Pier represents exactly the kind of entrepreneurial growth story we love to see at North Market,” said Rick Harrison Wolfe, Executive Director and CEO of North Market. “Enis has already built a successful business here with Holy Crepes, and now he and Elvis are bringing their combined experience and fresh vision to create something exciting for our merchants and guests while honoring the oyster tradition of this space.”

For Ndreu, opening BBQ & The Pier marks another exciting chapter in his North Market journey.

“North Market has been an incredible home for Holy Crepes, and we’re excited to expand our presence with BBQ & The Pier,” said Enis Ndreu, co-owner of BBQ & The Pier. “Elvis and I wanted to create a concept that blends fresh seafood and our high-quality, approachable barbecue with the energy and quality people expect here. We’re proud to continue serving oysters in this space while introducing guests to something entirely new.”

BBQ & The Pier is now open at North Market Bridge Park, serving lunch and dinner.
