Brooklyn will forever survive. That is just the nature of the beast. A loss is never truly a loss because it will be reinvented not long after. That is definitely the case with a soon-to-be tap room.

This bar, called Shady’s Tap Room, is opening its doors this Spring in an old condemned building. Yup, you read that correctly. A decrepit old building was renovated to house a new cozy little bar. The building had once been left in disrepair with water damage and unsafe conditions. Then two people changed that story around. Pat and Brenda Collins became owners of 110 N. Main St. They got a liquor license by the village council and began to change the place.

Whatever concerns there were no longer exist and the owners look forward to opening a comfortable and charming social hub in the downtown. It will have Michigan-brewed beers and traditional Irish pub eats, along with snacking favorites like pizza and sandwiches.

Looks like yet again something in Brooklyn has been reinterpreted and made fresh. You can look forward to going there this spring once the doors open. Keep your eyes peeled for this and other opening establishments in downtown Brooklyn.
