You know what we haven’t thought about in awhile? Mona. The bar. It closed last year after a crackdown or some such and then everyone headed to 1020 and pretty much forgot the whole thing. Anyway, Spec reported last year that it will be replaced by Pourhouse, a downtown beer and sports bar that caters to Washington Sq.-based archenemy New York University (right). 

Real estate insider Joe Meyers has learned that it should be opening up in a matter of weeks. Reports Meyers: “14 flat screen TVs, two (really big) bars, late night food, tons of beer on tap.” Rumors are also swirling of a “power hour” from 10-11 PM, during which Bud and Bud Light are $2, which is exciting!

Let’s all go there an enjoy it before the Terrible 12s use their Facebook Events and “Maryland IDs” to destroy it forever.
