Just heard through the grapevine that Brendan’s in St. Matthews, part of the O’Shea’s chain, has closed. Can’t say I’m surprised, but I don’t like hearing about any bar’s demise. There’s probably a new bar going in that space soon … so stay tuned.

Maybe this is good news for the other three Tom O’Shea-owned bars — cut your losses and focus on what’s working. Extra hugs to O’Shea’s, Flanagan’s and Patrick O’Shea’s.
