Holland Bar reopens

Trust us, drinking options near the Metromix offices are few and far between. So we're glad to hear the Holland Bar, closed since early last year, has made a triumphant return. Equally nice: Hearing that a greedy landlord couldn't get any high-end condos or retails clients to take the building (who said all recessions were bad?). Reopening is scheduled for today, and we'll have some info on the revamped dive bar soon.

UPDATE, 1/30: Nope, still not open. Big LOLs all around.
