The Ould Triangle used to be the Globe, which used to be a tavern. Now they have revamped themselves, remodeled themselves and gotten themselves some booze. Melody now works here and we stopped up to say hi. We had thought they were still beer and wine only, but with the new booze, we just picked up a new place. Excellent.
The bar is dark brown, extremely long, and kind of curved. This bar can probably seat about 20 people, but I don’t think there are that many chairs. A lone pool table takes a large portion of the place by the door. Two real dart boards with chalk boards stand ready for use. This is something you don’t see much. A large screen TV sits at one end of the eating area. I even saw a couple there eating their own food, watching TV, and drinking beer.
In the back, they have a beer garden where the owner is building a fountain to St. Agatha (I would swear he said Marta, but Melody said Agatha.) The fountain isn’t done, but it is going to be cool and strange. Supposedly “they” (probably the Romans) cut off her breasts, but they grew back, put her in a brothel for 10 years, but she remained pure, and eventually cut off her head. She is the patron saint of all sorts of things (like Breast Cancer and Sterility.) It is a wacky story the owner tells. He believes that places should be interesting and characterful. I have to say that I agree.
They have live music almost every night and the drinks are reasonable. I give them 4 and a half Martini Glasses out of 5.
