    Always hate to see old buildings go, but it has been an ugly lot for quite some time… hope the new development respects it well.

    @CJ I haven’t seen any renderings yet, but yeah this building has been in bad shape for a long time.

    Wasn’t this place the Polski Koty (or some variant on this spelling) at one time? In ’80 or ’81, I was fairly new to the city and wandered in there with some friends. We couldn’t believe it; they had free beer, free food, and people were smoking joints at the bar.

    Wow, 125 years old – but isn’t The Curve still there (we’re coming to the end of 2014)? Sad to say, long before it became The Curve I once walked in and sat at a large spool-style table only to see a number of bugs run right up to some food another customer at the other side of the table had just brought there. (Goes with the age and “character” of the building, I guess……). Polski Koty means Polish Cats, doesn’t it, Urban dweller? And Michael Horne, are you going to review all the 35-plus odd bars in the Brady Street area?
