Here's a slew of restaurant openings to brighten up your summer:

• B Spot Burger is slated to open July 24 at the Ironworks at Keystone development at 2727 E. 86th St.

B Spot is the creation of chef Michael Symon. The Indianapolis location is his first in Indiana and eighth overall. The menu offers burgers, bologna, brats, bourbon and beer, hence the B Spot name.  

At Ironworks, B Spot joins Sangiovese Ristorante and Ruth’s Chris Steak House.

• Also on July 24, O’Charley’s at 10416 E. U.S. 36 in Avon is set to reopen following a company-wide undertaking by the casual-dining chain to update its restaurants with a new look and updated menu items.
 
Beginning at 11 a.m. on the reopening, O’Charley’s will offer the first 50 patrons a free $9.99 meal. Founded in 1971 in Nashville, Tennessee, O’Charley’s operates more than 200 restaurants in 20 states. Besides the location in Avon, it has four in Indianapolis.

• Repeal at 630 Virginia Ave., located in the former Virginia Avenue State Bank building in the Fletcher Place neighborhood, opened July 11.
