Thanks. Just in case people who used to go there 3+ years ago are reading this. The entire menu and culinary focus had changed due to this new, maga idiot owner.

Kinda hope the old owners buy it back! Bring back those fried chicken platters!!!

Just to clarify, the good food owners sold it to a guy who changed the menu a few years ago. I went there in like, maybe 2019, and it was kind of asian-fusion-influenced food in a kind of southern-themed bar. That failed relatively quickly and one of the owners of Mahaffeys bought it. It was a quick improvement (not saying much) but I’m really disappointed to hear about all this. She was one of my favorite bartenders and helped me plan a surprise birthday party for my now wife upstairs at Mahaffeys. Gross.

That’s wildly inaccurate. Mr MaHaffey sold it directly to Alice and Dennis. When they divorced, Alice sold her portion to Dennis who has owned and operated it since then.

Cardinal tavern, bud. Note that this post and all of the comments are about cardinal tavern. Mahaffeys is only mentioned because Alice was an owner, before buying Cardinal.
