The venerated and questionably historic Union Square dive bar closed this May. Apparently, the bar's landlord wanted to convert the bar into the staircase for a new chain clothing store.
Well, the bar's owner's brother owns Lefty O'Doul's around the corner. And they've just set up a second bar at the back of Lefty's. It is staffed with bartenders from Gold Dust and it's got a picture of the old place on the liquor shelf. I guess it will do, for now.
Spent a pleasant Sunday morning in O'Doul's having corn beef hash and watching a UofM football game back in October. Definitely not something you could do around here on a Sunday.
ReplyDeleteSad to see the Gold Dust close.
