So sorry to see that Curtin's is going away. Â I lived in the neighborhood for years and this was my regular watering hole to the point where if the bartender was busy I'd walk behind the bar and pour myself a beer and add it to my tab. Â
The old owner also was a dedicated runner and used to host one of the better post-Marathon parties in the whole city. Â
I hope the new owner can keep the best of the old and add some new touches as well...
This place just re-opened yesterday after a 2 year hiatus. The son has decided to take over and it seems like a slow start, but hopefully they will be able to pull it through. I live next door and I would love to have this place up and running. The bar is lined with handles of booze, though its a pretty small selection, the husband and wife team have been working around the clock to get it up and running. It looks like a sort of dive pub sports place. They don't serve food, but im sure you could bring in pizza from next door!
Good luck to them!
