Daily Dining News: Opening of Firestone Public House Delayed Until April
February 29, 2012
Firestone Public House, the hotly-anticipated restaurant replacing CPK at the corner of 16th & L, was originally scheduled to open by the end of February.
The restaurant, a partnership between the Wong Family who own Cafeteria 15L, Ma Jong's Asian Diner, Mix Downtown, and The Park Ultra Lounge and the de Vere White family who owns de Vere's Irish Pub, is now slated to open in April, says their Craigslist ad for new staff.
When it finally opens, Firestone Public House will be a sports bar featuring 60 beers on tap. To learn more about Firestone Public House, read Brandon Darnell's article about the place in Sac Press from October 2011.
