Downtown Update: While We've Been Away

Over at Wall Street Plaza, the time-out from clubbing is being put to good use. The sidewalk (but not the brick street itself) has been pulled up and is being replaced with new large pavers.

The Blog has dropped-in on The Other Bar numerous times over the years but this past March, right before everything was shut down, the middle section of the venue became Kevin O'Ryans The Other Irish Bar. We'll check it out once it reopens. I think that makes 4 Irish bars downtown now.

Over on Pine Street, we've previously reported on the upscale bar called The Robinson which is located up on the second floor. To the left of the stairway that leads up to it, The Robinson Coffee Room has opened in the space previously occupied by Red Mug Diner.

It will apparently wrap around and behind the staircase that goes up to The Robinson and have another room for seating with this entrance to the right of the stairs.
