Q102's Diego gets into the bar biz

Diego Ramos, released from Q102 in January after 19 years, is getting into the bar business next week with Diego's, at 2670 Bridge St. in Bridesburg, near the Bridge Street exit off I-95.

The place is currently Scruffy's. He starts Monday but plans to spruce up the facade and do a grand opening in early October. The second floor is a lounge, while the first floor is a traditional bar.

Ramos says the hook is that instead of displaying photos of himself with celebs, he'll feature photos of his customers posed with famous people.

Ramos is doing job fairs later this month. See his site for info.

In other Q102 news, DJ Rocco Cima is about a month from opening a low-cal/health-food eatery called Fuel at 1917 E. Passyunk Ave. in South Philly.

    Rosie - Not cute. Although, you just may be into him, he's short and pudgy, but his annoyingness will turn you off. He should have stuck with the name Scruffy's. Naming a bar after yourself makes you look self-important and lacking in the creativity department. This joint will change hands in two years.
