Yardarm Re-Opening Date Set, Sand Dollars To Remain

RACINE, WI -- The Yardarm Bar and Grill, known for its Sand Dollar potatoes, Friday fish fry dinners and live music is transitioning to a new restaurant with a new name - and some old favorites.

Earlier this year, co-owners Lisa Caffery and Lauri Tomasek announced that they were selling the restaurant to Joey and Ann LeGath.

According to a Racine Journal Times report Tuesday, the LeGaths plan on reopening the Downtown Racine fixture as Joey's Yardarm with a tentative opening date of April 30.

The restaurant is expected to keep its signature sand dollar potatoes, but will add a number of new menu items in addition to opening on Sundays, making it a seven-day-a-week operation, according to the report.
