Urban Pubs and Bars reopens former Antic pub in London’s Hackney: Urban Pubs & Bars, the London pub operator founded by Malc Heap and Nick Pring and backed by Davidson Kempner and Global Mutual, has reopened the Clapton Hart in London’s Hackney – one of 11 former Antic Pubs sites it acquired in August. The pub, which dates back to 1722, has reopened following a £1.2m refurbishment, with new features and a refreshed menu. The pub’s transformation includes a redesigned dining room and a garden revamped for year-round use, including covered huts, while a menu of hearty pub classics will be complemented by beers from local breweries, including Haggerston’s Signature Brewery. The acquisition of the portfolio which included the Clapton Hart followed the 13-strong Antic Pubs entering administration earlier this year. The pub was formerly operated by Reid’s Brewery and Charrington, and after closing in 2008, it was revived by Antic in 2012 before its recent closure and subsequent rescue. Chris Hill, managing director of Urban Pubs & Bars, said: “Saving the Clapton Hart is exactly what Urban Pubs & Bars is all about – preserving London’s rich pub culture, supporting local communities and giving historic venues the love they deserve. We’re thrilled to reopen this iconic pub just in time for Christmas, and we can’t wait to see everyone back, celebrating together in this amazing space.”

Exciting news for all cocktail lovers! New York's "Drinks-To-Go" law has been extended. As someone who loves the convenience and novelty of to-go beverages, this is a win in my book. Check out Carolynn's blog post for all the details! 🍹 #DrinksToGo #NYLaw

Thoughts on service fees at restaurants? At the top of the range of service fees is Black Cat, a jazz bar and lounge in the Tenderloin. On top of the sales tax of 8.63%, it adds a 20% service charge (“to ensure a living wage”) and a 10% “SF safety and benefit charge” to the bill. The service charge is explicitly not a tip, so you’re invited to add gratuity as well. Excluding the ticket price of the night’s show and presuming you’d still want to tip 20% for good service, the final price of the $26 burger (without fries) would be $41.24. #restaurant #ServiceFee

INDUSTRY STORIES with Los Angeles Times: “#Restaurant service fees are staying after all with Newsom signature of last-minute bill." “Those 3, 5 and 20% fees at the bottom of your menu could be here to stay. With little time to spare, a new law will allow restaurants and bars to continue charging service fees, healthcare costs and other surcharges when listed clearly for diners to see. The practice was set to be outlawed beginning Monday. On Saturday, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1524, an emergency measure to exempt California food and beverage vendors from Senate Bill 478 — a law that goes into effect in July and targets ticket sellers, hotel and travel websites and other businesses that charge “hidden” or “junk” fees. Before Newsom signed SB 1524, which was introduced in early June, restaurants and bars were included in the affected businesses, and Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta had advised that the food and beverage vendors roll such fees into listed menu prices to avoid the possibility of legal action.” Read More HERE: https://lnkd.in/gvn3gWXM What’s making news in your community?
