Chiodo's closing redux -- not quite yet!!!

About an hour ago, I hoisted a pint at Chiodo's, the landmark Homestead PA tavern.

It's venerable owner, Joe, was out, however key employees said they haven't as yet been given a closing date. But they gave me the impression that the tavern's final last call is likely in terms of days or weeks, rather than months.

There's still time to get one last Mystery Sandwich!

There are legal proceedings involving the lease of a billboard on the Tavern's outside wall, or so I have heard. Until this is settled, Chiodo's remains open.

Be warned if you go however, the kitchen is only open THURSDAY-FRIDAY-SATURDAY from 430pm until closing. (No food on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays.)

Also, Chiodo's is closed on Sundays.

Hurry down before it is closed, for good.

Just an update on the status of Chiodo's. It closed permanently sometime around March 25. It was open March 21, but closed by March 26 when I tried to stop for a drink.

As stated in another posting, Chiodo's is now part of our history. What a shame.
