Artful Dodger
Back in August, Grub Street mentioned that the Head House watering hole the Artful Dodger had closed abruptly, locking out its employees. Today, following up on a tipster’s email, we’ve learned that longtime bartender Joe McBride and his wife Christine have taken over control of the bar and restaurant. Joe, who started working at Artful Dodger as a barback shortly after it changed over from the Head House Tavern back in 1991, expects to have it reopened this Sunday following some cleaning and minor repairs.
