Is Chumley's Going to Open Again?

Thursday, March 06, 2008

If you believe Eater, which recently said Chumley's was being renovated, the historic bar in the West Village may be getting a second life:

Lo, as the photos above and below taken earlier this morning show, there are indeed rumblings at Chumley's. Workers are on site. Construction is beginning. Set your calendars to T-minus ninety days. Barring complications, late May/early June it shall be.

I always loved this bar, even though it was no dive, it had charm and history going for it. I liked the vibe and the people, and all the bartenders I believe were FDNY guys. Hope it does open again.
