After nearly a decade of serving up drinks, live music and plenty of camaraderie at 4586 Tennyson Street, Local 46 Bar and Biergarten went dark last fall. Pandemic restrictions had limited its short-term options, and its long-term future was looking dim, since the property owner had a deal to sell.
But that deal has now fallen through, and the landlord has given Local 46 owners Niya and Grant Gingerich a short-term lease that will allow them to reopen Local 46 from the end of April through the summer. And after that, they ll be moving Local 46 to a new space that they ll own, at 3930 West 38th Avenue, where they ll reopen with a new name: Local 38.
