Behind the bar, Oporto and McDonough are working with Greta Berglund on drinks. A few of the taps will pour beverages from St. Paul Brewing, and the menu will have mainstays like beer-and-a-bump combos. Other cocktails will be more imaginative, including a cheeky nod to another lost neighborhood bar icon: the Red Dragon. “Shane was a regular back in the day,” said McDonough. “So, there will be some kind of Wondrous Punch.”

The new era has also received the blessing of Dark Horse’s previous owner Paddy Whelan, and Eclective’s representatives said they are working to make contact with some former employees who made the business such a special place for its decade in business.

Expect a post-July 4th return with a new menu, new bar, but same commitment to the neighborhood and energy of a place that’s lived through a few seasons, with no intention of slowing down.
