According to their Instagram account, the renovations at O'Byrnes wrapped up in July. However, there are signs on the window stating that they are still renovating. Moreover, O'Byrnes is only open on Friday nights and Saturday nights.

Are these people incompetent or something?

Seems exceptionally long given they are missing the back to school crowd rush.

My son has been there twice in the past 10 days.

I saw a huge line up here on Friday night, so I think the people who run O'Brynes are competent.

Now the people doing the reno work may be another question, but construction does sometimes drag on.

It seems they are trying to make the best of the situation.

My only critique is the exclusion of the Grindstone comedy club. Otherwise, good article.

Great idea by the city to require this, and the Sunday market hours, as a condition to renewing their lease. This area will be a lot livelier throughout the week!
