When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

But it does have the green "Open now" text in the upper right for the first time in about 22 months.
I stopped in on Saturday evening for a beer. Here are a few observations.
1. The layout is almost exactly like the original except for no windows on the east side
2. The workmanship of the project is about exactly was you would expect of a Pete Sabo project
3. I am not impressed with the white walls
4. The sound system is very nice
5. They have a 10 line tap system. The tap lineup maybe the worst I have seen in recent years, from memory, Bud Light, Bud, Coors Light, Miller Light, Stones Throw, Laganitas IPA, summer shandy and a cider or 2.
6. The crowd was much older than recent visits. I do realize school is out and it was graduation weekend.
I did not make it up stairs during my stop....
Its amazing after a fire an exposed to elements and 2 years of closure. Most of the inside is the same. Booths, coolers, back bar, menu.
Upstairs is new and cool over looking or looking at the campus.
You would have thought they would have gutted the place and started over.
NOPE
