New Owner at Junior’s Tavern
I have to admit that I was a bit bummed when I heard that Junior’s Tavern had been sold by Greg Arata, after nearly 50 years of his ownership – he opened the then-beer bar in 1974. But then, a wide smile crossed my face when I learned who the new owner is: Bob McCarthy.
Bob is the longtime owner of Stoneground Italian Kitchen and the Garage on Beck, and I can’t think of anyone who’ll be a better custodian of the classic neighborhood bar than McCarthy. He “gets it,” and while he plans to add a small stage and a patio, he says he will keep Greg Arata’s iconic beer can collection, which is the decorative centerpiece at Junior’s. Being a music lover himself, I’m pretty sure the posters of Howling Wolf, Miles Davis, et al will stay, as well. And I doubt he’ll be switching from blues and jazz to a pop Spotify playlist anytime soon. Congrats Bob! Here’s to another half-decade of boozy fun at Junior’s Tavern.
Manoli’s Update
As many of you probably know, Manoli’s restaurant underwent flood damage back near the end of December. At the time, they posted on Facebook that “Due to an unexpected flooding in our restaurant, we will be closed this evening & tomorrow morning.”
Nearly three months later, Manoli’s is still shuttered. The latest update from Manoli Katsanevas and his team, from March 4th, says “Construction is moving along! Our restaurant and reservation system will be closed for the month of March and we will be re-opening again in early April. Stay tuned for an announcement on when we’ll be opening our doors. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.”
If you’d like to help out Manoli’s while their doors are closed, consider purchasing gift cards or apparel like a Manolli’s trucker’s hat from their website.
