CATCH UP: Ryan’s Tavern to become new restaurant
Here are 5 things to know to know about Ryan’s Tavern before it closes its doors:
- The business was one of the first to invest in a downtown Hamilton presence nearly a decade ago and is widely credited with jump-starting the city's stalled economic development.
- The co-owner of Ryan's Tavern is former Hamilton mayor Don Ryan, who said he is selling the building because of health reasons.
- Renovation of the building to become Ryan's Tavern was so involved that it lasted from Dec. 8, 2006, until Jan. 23, 2009, four months after the business opened.
- Supporters of the pub can gather from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. Saturday, April 8, for a "Last Call" party to thank friends and customers, who can enjoy a limited menu, happy hour pricing and other specials throughout the day.
- Ryan's will be replaced by 1791 Bistro, which will include additional exterior improvements to the current building, the addition of a commercial wood-fired pizza oven and the creation of an outdoor seating area.
