We went last night for a pre-St. Patrick's Day dinner. It looks virtually identical to the old place (similar layout, same bar), so if you need your fix, you're good to go. One disappointment: They're still a smoking bar. I figured opening this close to the May 1 ban, they'd skip the smoking option completely.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely have to plan a trip out there soon. What is their front patio space like? It looks like it's a smaller area than what they had before, but it's hard to tell without tables set up and everything.

Yea, that's exactly what I need! I kept looking in the window, and it does look eerily familiar. I think they just picked everything up and plopped it down in the new building.
So weird that they wouldn't just go no-smoking immedately. Seems like MBC has had a good amount of success with that tactic, and I know that new Tin Can place by Harem is no-smoking now too.
I suppose after being closed for nearly a year they're just anxious to get their customers back though. I can't believe they could afford to close up shop for that long.

upvote downvoteSo happy! Definitely dropping by for a celebratory drink tonight. It only seems appropriate to go to an Irish pub on St. Patty's anyway.

upvote downvoteWent last night for cherry burger and green beer. Same vibe as former location. Definitely high on the list for "pub and grub" night out.

upvote downvoteI have been waiting for these guys to reopen since forever! I was worried it was never going to happen. Hooray!
