State Street in Newburyport will once again have an Irish pub.
The Port Tavern will be moving into the spot where Rosie O'Shea's used to be in the center of this historic seaport near the New Hampshire border. The pub may be open as early as late January, though the Daily News of Newburyport mentions that the owners may be looking at early February for opening.
According to the Daily News, the Port Tavern will have a modern look with an open floor plan, and the seating will be upgraded. The atmosphere will be a bit different from the former Rosie O'Shea's, which was more of an old-fashioned watering hole with a dark, cozy feel and basic bench seating.
