Since the legendary City Spirit closed a decade ago, the storefront at 1434 Blake Street has gone through many incarnations, from Andrew's Pub & Lounge to Lure Lounge to SportsBook to Pre-Game Sports Bar to the Blake to Kraine Station, a Ukrainian restaurant that hardly got out of the station before it closed in April. In September, the place reopened as Full Steam Tavern, which had barely picked up steam before it closed, too. But now the space has been taken over by the pros behind Stoney's, who will reopen it before the new year as Stoney's Full Steam Tavern.
And they'll celebrate the change with a big New Year's bash on Monday night. See also: - Stoney's takes over Full Steam Tavern - Five restaurants that both opened and closed in 2012...and a bonus revival - Restaurant roll call for 2011 - Krewe moving into former Hive space
