Since abdicating from his Mount Vernon digs a couple years ago, Liam Flynn (pictured) has been working hard to bring Liam Flynn's Ale House to the Station North Arts and Entertainment District. Looks like he's almost there.
The new incarnation of Liam's Pint-Size Pub could open in the North Avenue Market as early as June, Flynn said yesterday. This all depends on whether or not the space can get a sprinkler system installed before then. Flynn has his fingers crossed.
"I'm excited," he said. "A month seems like a week right now. I'm a little bit concerned. I want to be open by the World Cup."
Flynn said the Ale House will have 15 beers on tap, including two cask-conditioned ales ...
The bar itself will be topped with wooden planks from the old bowling alley which used to be above the
, Flynn said. Dave Scheper is doing some wrought ironwork, too.
"We're doing architectural salvage to give it that lived-in look," he said.
The walls are up and the tiles will be installed next week, Flynn said. After the sprinklers arrive, everything should fall into place.
