This place is completely unrecognizable as the former
Rumshakers. That is a compliment. Neither we nor anyone else will miss the
hellhole that was Rumshakers. They completely gutted the place and we can’t
believe how much nicer it looks. We won’t bore you with a detailed list of what
changed because the answer is pretty much everything.
A couple of things of note are the new wood floors and
exposed brick walls which give the space a classy feel. The left side of the
space has one very long bar with a shiny new bar top. The lighting is dim and
makes us both look better than we really do. The tables are brand new and
comfortable. There are several couches along the wall which, in our expert
opinions, will be destroyed in months.
The liquor selection is selective upscale but overall decent.
There are no drafts available yet, as they were working on getting the draft
lines installed while we were there. They also just received approval for their
kitchen, so there should be food in the coming months. The bartender also told
us that they plan to replace the front windows with shutter doors this summer
to make it more open and get some fresh air in.
It’s still being finished, obviously, but it’s such a huge
change and vast improvement to the space already that they could just call it a
day. It’s still not a place that we’d go out of our way for, but it’s no longer
a place that we actively avoid. The biggest improvement of all might be small,
but it’s the most telling: Jameson served in an actual glass and not a tiny
plastic cup.
