The old facade was about to be torn down, along with the rest of the building. And in it's place would be built a brand new generation. In this slide show, we can see the demolition of the original business. The demolition started in August of 2002. Over the next 7 months, this slide show demonstrates how a grand tavern would be reborn.

On March 12, 2003 the business reopens and offers patrons a unique Irish experience. Based on the simple concept of providing an atmosphere conducive to leisure, good company, fine food, and quality service, the 2-story tavern offers an experience second to none. The traditional Irish shop front exterior reflects a period in Ireland still cherished, as seen in Dublin's famous Temple Bar District.

Designed in Dublin with furniture and fixtures imported from Holland and Ireland, we offer casual dining and a wine bar on the ground floor in a non-smoking environment. Named for the Cowley ancestral home in Ireland, Coolhenry (County Carlow) Restaurant promises an engaging dining experience. The full menu features entree's from a wood fired grill with old world elegance. Yet, the fare offered by our Executive Chef contains a pleasing variety for contemporary tastes. Upstairs is a traditional Pub serving the same menu for dinner, and offering a special lunch menu in a more relaxed atmosphere featuring live entertainment on the weekends with your favorite sports on the big projector screen or the big plasma screens.
