The business is working on a collection of improvements including new paint, window film, an outside window bar, pavers for outside dining, private parking lot signage, building signage, and additional landscaping elements, according to a Facebook post. 

When completed, the restaurant will occupy two stories and will feature live entertainment as well as a variety of specialty cocktails and tequilas. 

Cantina joins a slew of other businesses constructing or renovating spaces in downtown Ocala.

Mutiny is nearing completion of its pirate-themed bar, which is situated next door to its sister bar, Tipsy Skipper. 

Mellow Mushroom is working on its three-story building that will also house another restaurant and a rooftop bar. 

A new cafe will take the place of the former Sovereigns and Scoundrels Glass Emporium, as Symmetry Cafe and Soleil Confections are teaming up in hopes of opening this fall.
