Bradys Sports Bar At JP Dempsey’s Delayed In Opening

By Jack Kramer, Correspondent

NEW HAVEN, CT – The owners of Bradys Sports Bar at JP Dempsey’s on State Street were hoping to be open for business by now but they say on their Facebook page that they “keep hitting roadblocks.”

The owners add that they “afraid to set another date and jinx ourselves,” but insist they plan to be open very soon.

The new owners already run one of the more popular, award-winning sports bars in Fairfield County.

Sandy Sutilia will run the restaurant along with her husband Mike Sutilia.

Sandy Sutilia described her family as “big Patriots fans,” hence the name “Brady” for the sports bar – and said they’ve been hoping to buy the State Street restaurant for the past few years and things fell into place recently.

She said the restaurant “will be a great sports bar, with nine wide screen TVs, great bar service, burgers and wings.”

She said the State Street restaurant will be identical in style to a restaurant the family owns and runs in Redding – the Lumberyard Pub & Sports Bar, an award-winning restaurant.
