Big Whisky Off “Whiskey Row”
The ever fabulous Steph DeRosa just gave us a sneak peak of the new Surreal Ultra Lounge going into the space Club Kokonut was to occupy, the former On The Rocks. Now just off Whiskey Row (Pac Ave. between 9th & 7th) CANS is transforming to Big Whisky Saloon. They are currently hiring for all positions including Country Rock DJs & Beer Tub Babes. They are planning their grand opening for April 30th. No liquor license changes have been posted which is needed with a change in name of the establishment or ownership changes. CANS was owned by the same folks that own Varsity Grill on Broadway.
It is starting to look like nightlife is taking another try in this neighborhood that at one time use to house Destiny’s, The Drake, Club Detour & 7 Cities.
Now we will have Surreal Ultra Lounge, The Matador, Paddy Coyne’s, Meconi’s, Big Whisky, Hell’s Kitchen & The Firwood (???).

Capers Downtown to become Iseman
A new liquor application was taken out for the former (? didn’t know they closed) Capers Downtown location at 701 Pacific Ave., below Suite133. The new establishment will be Iseman. I am told the Capers Downtown is no longer connected in any way to the Capers Take Home in Proctor.
The owner of Iseman looks to be the same owner of HY-IU-HEE-HEE in Gig Harbor which seems to be a happening tavern that specializes in pizza and wings.
