The owner of Johnny Rad’s is opening a new spot in Highlandtown. Snake Hill will be a sausage-focused tavern at the former location of the Irish Pub.
Owner Rich Pugh posted the news on the Highlandtown Neighbors Facebook group, and Baltimore Business Journal’s Sarah Meehan also followed up with a story.
The new spot, located at 418 S. Clinton St., will feature sausages grilled behind the bar, seeking a variety that runs from Polish and Italian styles to “more exotic meats and poultry including selections like jalapeño rattlesnake, elk, rabbit and more,” Pugh said. Snake Hill, which takes its name from the neighborhood’s moniker in the 1880s, will also feature craft beers and a full bar.
Pugh said the permitting process with the city has taken longer than expected, but renovations are expected to begin soon. He’s eyeing a spring opening.
The neighborhood is no doubt delight and pleased with Pugh’s forthcoming announcement, but one burning remains: Will they have skee ball?
