A local restaurant group is planting a new flag in Midtown Sacramento.
The partners behind Range Kitchen & Tap in Roseville are opening a new concept in the former Sibling by Pushkin’s space at 1813 Capitol Ave, according to the Sacramento Business Journal. The longtime gluten-free brunch spot closed on January 4 after nearly a decade in operation, citing the expiration of its lease.
“Our goal for what we do for Midtown is truly different,” Ahsan Ali, a partner at the upcoming restaurant, told the publication. Ali is also involved in several other area eateries, including Folsom’s upcoming The Breakfast Club at Midtown.
While the restaurant’s official name is still being ironed out, Ali said the word “Range” will likely be part of it, tying the concept back to its Roseville sibling. The Midtown outpost is expected to specialize in creative, fresh American cuisine, with an elevated yet approachable menu.
If Range Kitchen & Tap is any indication of what’s to come, guests can expect a menu built for sharing and socializing, including dishes like cast iron meatballs, mac and cheese, burgers, salads, and pizza, alongside a strong beverage program featuring craft cocktails, local beer, and wine.
Chef Kevin Kokoszka, who leads the kitchen at Range in Roseville and brings Bay Area restaurant experience to the table, will also helm the Midtown concept. The goal is to create a distinct experience while maintaining the quality and creativity that’s made Range a hit.
The 2,700-square-foot, ground-floor space was officially leased at the end of December, according to a social media post from Scott Kingston, senior vice president at Turton Commercial Real Estate. A major highlight of the space is its expansive outdoor patio along one of Midtown’s most active corridors.
If construction and tenant improvements stay on track, the new Range concept could open around March 1, 2026. As with most buildouts, however, Ali noted that the timeline could shift slightly.
