Tanners Pub to Close for Renovations

Posted by Bob Gernert on September 13, 2007 at 2:42 pm

Tanners Pub located at 325 West Central Avenue will close on Monday, September 24 to completely renovate existing space as well as allow structural reinforcement necessary for the future leasing of second level in the building. The popular bar and restaurant will reopen in late October.

Debbie and John Tennick are taking the opportunity to make significant changes in floor plans. The Tennicks opened their first restaurant downtown in 1995 (Thyme Square Bistro in the Time Square building) moving to their present location and expanded space in 2002. They attribute their success in part to the beautifully renovated downtown area and credit the City, Main Street and Chamber for the vision that helped revitalize downtown and attract private investment.

The Tennicks thank all who have supported them as their business evolved and promise an all NEW Tanners Restaurant and Lounge at their Grand Re-Opening. Watch this space for further details. Wish them luck here, leave a comment.

    As much as I will miss Tanners during the renovations, I know whatever is done will be well worth the wait! John & Debbie Tennick and Tanners, together with Bud Strang and the 6/10 Corp, are pillars of our downtown revitalization, and everything they do is always top-notch. I can’t wait to see and enjoy the renovations! Between now and the 24th, we all need to enjoy Tanners while we can and show them how much we appreciate them!

    It will be a tough few weeks without Tanners, but I am sure John and Debbie have great things planned. Keep up the good work.

    I am excited for Debbie, John and all of Tanners Staff. Downtown will not be the same even for those few weeks. My family is likely to go on a hunger strike until the New doors open.
    I know the renovations will go smooth and the outcome fantastic! Cheers!

    We will anxiously await your return and the new look of the Pub. Change the building, but DON’T CHANGE THE WONDERFUL FOOD OFFERINGS!

    Congratulations!

    Can’t wait to see the changes.We all know that Debbie and John will do a great job. Now all we have to do is figure out where “our table” will be in the new place.

    Tanners even better than it was before….impossible! I can’t wait to see the newly renovated Tanners. John and Debbie add style and sophistication in everything they do. This will definitely be worth seeing.
