This place still a thing?

Yup, still open!

They closed The Blind Pig next door, my husband worked there, but Arch St. Tavern's part of the building is owned separately than where Blind Pig was and had stayed open. It just looks deceiving driving by and seeing the for sale sign for Blind Pig's side. There's a connecting roof, and a main wall separating the two places, so not everyone realizes they're actually separately owned! The owner of Blind Pig's side is selling, but the owner of Arch St Tavern's isn't, and instead stayed open.

I used to see funk bands play there in the 90s, and I tended bar there in the early 2k's right after they reopened from redevelopment in the area. Haven't been back there since '08, and I don't get downtown much these days. Thanks for the update!
