Eph McNally's -- sold and moving and maybe reopening in the Bohemian National Home...

[urbanpioneer]

I think this has been on the board before, but I heard this from the owner of Foran's while eating at Eph's today on Woodward. The owner of Eph's has sold out, and has sold out for a couple months now. The new owners _ who are the owners of Forans _ will phase out the menu at Eph's, knock a hole through the wall to connect to Foran's, either modify or get a new liquor license, and convert the place to upscale/high-end diner connected to the bar and do away with the menu and sandwiches. They will have a "make-it-yourself" style menu where you basically check off what you want _ bread, meat, condiment _ and the make you the sandwich
The old owner of eph's are to reopen in the Bohemian National Home in some format.
I knew something was up as the jars of pickels had disappeared over the past few months and my sandwich today _ a turkey club _ appeared to be made with classic lunchmeat and ordinary bread. Very pedestrian.

Ooh! Ooh! Anybody want to make a guess on what format it eventually opens in at the Bohemian National Home?

1) Quality sandwiches, brand-new kitchen, full staff.
2) Ho-hum sandwiches, few staffers.
3) No kitchen to speak of, but an alcohol sale license apparently in use.

I thought they had already removed most of the decorations on the wall. I had my eye on that Hudson's poster, but someone told me it was already taken down after the sale?

Forgive my ignorance but where is the Bohemian National Home.?

[HazenPingree]

The Bohemian National Home of which the forumer spoke is the club on Tillman and Michigan.

It's on Tillman, but it's a couple blocks north of Michigan. Great old building, with scraps of newspapers in Czech poking out from the walls.

I called Ephs on Tuesday, and they answered Ephs Downtown. Are you sure they are done?
