[[Image:DailyGrindPostIvan.jpg|180px|thumb|left|Daily Grind interior following Hurricane Ivan]] Following Hurricane Ivan, owner Jeremy Marsh salvaged much of the old venue and moved to a new location, purchasing the old [[Goofy Golf]] in 2005, and reopening the venue in June [[2005]], with [[The Selfish Gene]] as one of the headliners. The new location was several times larger than the old location, and offered the same amenities as the previous venue; however the new location boasted a large band room and main stage. The new venue hosted a variety of shows, including a MySpace tour in November of 2005.

Notable local bands that had played at the downtown location included the former [[Second Track]], [[Emulsiphier]], and [[Phlegmatic]]. In addition to entertainment, the cafe offered a number of drinks with often unappealing names such as [[cherry popper]] and [[dirty girlscout]]. The venue was a popular dive for members of the area's Goth and Metal scenes.

The venue enjoyed renewed business through most of 2005 and 2006, however business began to decline in 2006, forcing owner Jeremy Marsh to close operations in October of 2006. The final show was played by [[Among Them]].
