Rumor on the street has it that Finn MacCools in Eastern Market is in the process of being sold to the owner of another nearby bar, who then plans to close it for a few months to be remodeled.
FMacs used to be a reliable go-to after work on the hill if you wanted to avoid the classic hill scene. Above average food, friendly bartenders, a decent jukebox, etc. Then several years ago it was bought out by a few guys who were a bit... green and things started to go downhill. It still isn't a bad place to go, but got cut from the top of the list, so this buyout could be good news if its true.
The place has a lot of potential - a large space spread out two floors make it idea for live music downstairs, a more loungy upstairs, dining during the day and more drinking at night. Sort of a mix between Fado and Rock n Roll Hotel if done right.
