On my last few visits to CM, I've enjoyed going to Beer Republic in Nimman for a pint of proper beer. The place was expensive, but it was always busy when I was there. Was in the Nimman area recently and was disappointed to see it had closed down and been replaced by what I think looked like a smoothie bar. Anyone know what happened to it? 

Closed for renovations, reopens October 1st according to their Facebook page.

Good observation OneZero, can you share your wake up pills/secrets?

I was led to understand that the owners of El Patio also own / owneded Beer Republic. But the owner(s) haven't been around recently, so maybe Beer Republic has been sold and is now under different ownership?

 

El Patio (maybe because of their high prices for alcohol and reputation for highly-priced poor food) seem to be struggling for customers and there's no live music on Fridays and Saturday evenings from The Bluesman's excellent band.

I was reading TA, and noticed a review of Republic from three weeks ago?  It was one of those generic reviews that were often written about the place, so I was wondering..did it really re-open, or was that just more BS?

They used to have some good ale in Beer Republic, spent a few happy afternoons in there.

I walked past there tonight - closed

Namton's house bar happened. 

 

First nail in Nimblehymen's coffin?

Beer Republic is open again, with a limited menu (pasta and snacks) and an interesting selection of international beers.

Namton's house has a sign above the bar saying 'my bar, my rules', those 'rules' include denying customers a lump of ice in their cider because that's what ordinary people do to Leo and he doesn't want his oh so precious little place dragged down to the level of Leo drinkers. Run by the errant son of Hi-So, drinking away daddy's fortune.  Great to hear that Beer Republic has re-opened, much more fun in my opinion.

So the underclass only put ice in Leo?  More like any place, where its not served properly, which is most.
