And then dinner...

The new establishment is owned by Brandon Smith, who for several months worked to renovate the space. Smith is a former manager at TJ Smiths in Warrington, as well as Friends Bar and Grill in Newtown, which is owned by his brother.

Smith, who purchased the property last summer, has redesigned the interior of the building to give it a modern look that maintains the historic charm.

The menu focuses on modern American comfort food, with appetizers, salads, pizzas, sandwiches, soups, and entrees among the offerings.

Here is a sneak peek of some of the menu offerings:

• Short rib pizza (Brie, ricotta, caramelized onions, sweet potato)
• Thai chicken salad (Romaine, red peppers, cucumber, peanuts, crispy straws, edamame, spicy peanut dressing)
• Mac and cheese burger (Angus beef, jalapeno bacon, brioche bun)
• Slow cooker roast pork sandwich (broccoli rabe, sharp provolone, Italian long hot peppers, onion poppy seed brioche)
• Vegan stir fry (Glass noodles, edamame, roasted red and green peppers tofu sesame seeds, black garlic teriyaki glaze)
