Stiles Pub under Wheatfields??
I saw a sign this weekend for "Stiles Pub" on the side of the Old Market Wheatfields.
Arrow points down. New stairs are being constructed. Any details??

Hello Everyone, My name is Andrew Stiles. I am/will be the Owner and Operator of Stiles Public House (1204 Howard St.).
I was originally the third owner of The Foundation @ 1407 Harney St. My partners bought my share out in July and I immediately began working on starting my own venture.
The space was to be occupied by the owners of 'Beer and Loathing in Dundee'. The building was under renovation much of last year until just recently finishing and because of the renovation taking so long, the other occupants got out of their lease and started a venture in Iowa.
Stiles Public House, or 'Stiles Pub' for short, will have 12 taps, many beers in bottle, and a cocktail/wine list. The space is divided into three sections; Main Bar, Bathrooms, and Venue/Party room. The main bar and bathroom area will be open during regular business hours and the venue will be opened when needed/in use. I plan to have acoustic and jazz music regularly and I'd also like to get a few amateur Stand-up comedy acts in. I am currently battling with the City of Omaha to allow me to have a patio. I'll have a patio, just a matter of where. The main bar area will have low top tables, darts, and a 50 inch plasma screen. The venue side will have a stage, pool table, lounge chairs, low/high top tables and a 100inch projection screen.
Everyone asks me 'What is the theme of the bar?'. My response is usually 'Old English' and then I have people screaming 'Parliament Pub!' at me. It's more rustic and old looking and not as "HERE I AM AND I'M ENGLISH... Kinda.." like Parliament Pub. Nothing against Parliament... just not my style. So there will be no English popstars on my walls and my TV's will not be framed. Very simple and chilled out atmosphere.
I am currently shooting for a middle to end of next month opening date. Originally planned for new years.... take it up with City Permits for why I didn't.
I don't have any hard feelings with the Foundation. I still go in from time to time to visit and have a great beer with my philly.
If you have any questions please ask here or become a fan on http://www.facebook.com/stilespub
Thanks!

That sounds great Andrew. Zac at LB is a friend of mine - so I try to promote LB as much as possible. If you haven't tried Turbodog - I suggest you consider it :TURBODOG IS THE BIG DOG IN NATIONAL MAGAZINE Another would be a relatively unknown New Belgium's 1554 - a recipe they discovered in Germany that dates from 1554. If that is what they brewed back then - no wonder the German's knew their beers!

This is all great news. Â We love Myth, on Howard St., because it is a relaxing "chill" bar. Â And this will be another nice addition to the OM.
BTW, the owner of Myth is planning on opening a second bar, in the basement, that would feature a 1930s Prohibition era theme. Â Sort of a speakeasy atmosphere.

I have spoken to Brian (owner of myth) about that. He's looking to either go downstairs or upstairs with the concept. All depends on if a tenant leaves his building to what I understand. I had spoken to him about my concept not even 2 days before signing the lease. He was very supportive. Great guy!
My concept has a bit more of a 'regular bar' feel as opposed to his lounge style. I will also have a larger focus on wine and beer BUT I am a cocktail fanatic so I will impose that as much as I can on my customers  :)

RIP Stiles Bar
They just posted this on their Facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/stilesbar?fref=nfHello Everyone,
Due to, somewhat, unforeseen circumstances Stiles Bar is closed permanently. It was a bit of a shock to us too. We started the creation of this place almost 5 years ago exactly. We have since been blessed with many great patrons. We have had couples who had met at Stiles that are now married. 100's of Bachelorette Parties, 1000's of groups of friends walking down the street yelling "Let's go to Stiles!!", and smiling people trying one of our cocktails for the first time are just some of the great memories I will keep with me.
Thank you all for making the last five years something my employees and I will never forget. We appreciate each and every one of you that walked down the stairs and came through our door.
Good Bye Everybody!
-Andrew Stiles

Re: Stiles Pub under Wheatfields??
Dang, such a cool basement bar. Hopefully someone else can step in and keep it a bar.
Re: Stiles Pub under Wheatfields??
I will never get dragged to that crappy bar by out of town friends that don't know any better ever again.

Re: Stiles Pub under Wheatfields??
There were a couple of pretty neg comments about the place on the replies to this announcement on Facebook when I posted this. Going back now it looks like they have been removed.
So for those that whet there, I never did, what do you think did it in?

They said their lease wasn't renewed by the landlord. I never understood the insane asylum white paint, it also smelled wet(yes I know its a basement) just had a few too many poor experiences here. Everclear jello shot specials is kind of when a bar jumps the shark IMO, but I am sure others like that sort of thing.
Hope the owners can make something work if they still have a market for this type of place. I a excited for the potential of something different in the space though.

An everclear jello shot special is not appropriate for anY self respecting establishment.iamjacobm wrote:They said their lease wasn't renewed by the landlord.

Re: Stiles Pub under Wheatfields??
I'm sad it didn't work out but when I was there the bartender was unfriendly and not helpful when I asked questions about their beer selection. When I asked for something similar to a Blue Moon she served me a Guinness...WOW?

Ethan Bondelid of The Berry & Rye, Wicked Rabbit and House of Loom will open a new tiki bar at 1204 Howard St. Bondelid said the menu will include original drinks created by his existing bar staff, as well as classic tiki drinks and group cocktails. The bar, which is still unnamed, will open this year.

Re: Stiles Pub under Wheatfields??
I agree that would be very awesome. I'd love to see a some kind of pub down there or maybe a mini restaurant.
Re: Stiles Pub under Wheatfields??
Laka Lono is such a better bar than Stiles ever was. Does anyone actually want Stiles back?
Re: Stiles Pub under Wheatfields??
Laka Lono is an awesome bar. If you haven't been there, you should go.
