Renovations at McSorley’s extend re-opening until Friday

A revised schedule for work at McSorley’s Saloon will see the local gathering spot re-open on Friday rather than Wednesday as previously planned. Here is a statement from the McSorley “BigWigs.”

If you didn’t know already, the government sent us back into a modified Stage 2. We thought this was the right time to try and spruce up the place a bit and we finally got the go-ahead to renovate the patio.

Brand new windows and doors are being installed as we speak. Much larger than before, running almost floor to ceiling. It will let in a lot more natural light and (we) will no longer have to fight to open and close the windows each day. Not to cut any corners, we decided to also do some re-framing outside and inside the front of the restaurant.

Like most projects at McSorley’s, once you open up a wall in here, you find three new problems you didn’t know existed. Because of this, our renovations will proceed until Thursday evening. We hope to re-open the patio for service this Friday at 11 a.m.

We are excited to bring you back with working heaters at all tables and possibly a rental tent with open sides to keep you warm and dry throughout the next few weeks/months.

We appreciate your patience and hope to see you again soon.
