Unless you were a regular at Squid Joe’s (which is entirely possible, though doubtful) then you probably haven’t noticed the transformation going on at 850 Tamarack Avenue. Squid Joe’s is no longer. Gone is the upside down boat, the fish nets, and the Jimmy Buffet meets Pirates of the Carribean motiff. The business (liquor license included) has been purchased by pro skateboarder and former Flogging Molly accordionist Matt Hensley.
The new place is called Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub & Grill and is set to open soon. The building’s mid-century modern past may get a fifth or sixth chance at life, but this time as an authentic Irish pub. The sign just went up and crews are still hard at work getting the interior set up, but it’s opening tonight in beta. We’ve heard rumors of future live music shows as well as weekend breakfast. Which sounds good to use. In the meantime, we’ll keep you posted.
