I know, as soon as some of you even read the title of this thread, you shuttered... I live a block away and never even stepped foot in this place, well once, about 5 years ago. In case you are not familiar with the bar, it's on the corner of 16th and McKean, and has been a pretty well know nusicance bar, drugs and trouble... actually heard it refered to as Snow-ah's Ark (in regards to its large cocaine problems). BUT I have noticed this past week that not only have they put two giant windows in on the 16th street side, they have been closed and appear to be gutting the place. Now from what I have heard, they are just renovating it, I would think if he was dumping that much cash into it, that maybe he'd be trying to purge the current clientele also, but rumor has it that he won't be getting rid of the pool tables, and to me that will just attract some of the original crowd. Pool tables are great at bars that care about the clientele, but the fact that they have had trouble there, I would say the tables would have to go. So we will see... maybe another tap room-esqu type place? Or Just a renovated corner bar... I hope for the first guess!
