He is planning to reopen in a new location but one of Seattle's iconic restaurants is closing down. From The Seattle Times:
Landmark F.X. McRory’s closing but owner Mick McHugh hopes to relocate
There isn’t nearly enough space here for the memories. The stories and good times overfloweth.
Asking a local about F.X. McRory’s is the easiest interview out there. You just smile and let the tape recorder run.
But on Sunday, June 11, 2017, Seattle’s most revered sports bar will close after nearly 40 years. The building owners want to retrofit the basement, forcing McRory’s owner Mick McHugh to relocate his beloved establishment.
Don’t worry, though. This isn’t a time for sorrow — it’s a time for celebration.
“This is just momentary,” McHugh said by phone — and you don’t need FaceTime to know he’s smiling. “I still got a little juice left.”
It might be fun to drive down on June 27th - James G. Murphy is auctioning off all the fixtures. Time to buy a piece of history.
