WE MISS YOU Obryan's Pub! 🥹 BUT! We are super excited to see the new place though!! 🤩

Good afternoon! Want to give a quick update on our progress. We’ve had a couple hurdles to get over in this process which is how these things can go. We are close now, place is about ready and looks great.
Next week we are planning on knocking out all our inspections! We don’t have an exact date yet. But are aiming to fire up our friends and family soft openings practice within next two weeks then get fully open. We’ll keep everyone updated! We miss everyone and can’t wait to see everyone very soon, we’ll update more next week!
