Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
After decades as the Arabian Bar, the classic dive at 3360 Navajo Street closed last fall and was given a facelift by Barry Zadikoff, owner of Barry’s on Broadway, who opened it as Local Bar@Highland in January. But the concept was short-lived: The space was recently sold to the Little Pub group, which did a few renovations and just reopened it as the Classic Tavern. The new owners hope to provide the LoHi neighborhood with a hangout that has the same dive-bar vibe as the Arabian (the mural on the exterior is a tribute to that spot); while there’s no kitchen, the bar plans to serve frozen pizzas in the near future.
Danielle Lirette stopped in to see the new/old watering hole; keep reading for a look at the space.
