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 sc...

BARS: Lotus Lounge R.I.P. (this time for real)
Although the doors have been shuttered since late October, a new sign outside of Lotus Lounge beckoned in one of our Metromix correspondents last night. Sadly, although the LES coffee shop/bar had re-opened, that was apparently a temporary measure.

BARS: St. Patrick's Day comes early
(Photo by Alex Kim)
Hanging out in Hoboken on the weekend has long been an exercise in frat or flight. You either celebrate Milwaukee’s Best and meat on the bone with as much pride (and after 13 pints vitriol) as humanly possible, usually while packed in the back of farty bar surrounded by blasting plasma screens.
