January!
And now, via Dave on 7th...
The former El Cobre on the ground floor is gone. The owners decided to change concepts. As Eater pointed out in November, the new space will house an English fish and chips restaurant called Gin Palace, "focusing on gin cocktails and old style English pub fare."
Time Out notes that the latest venture from Ravi DeRossi opens on Wednesday. They got the first look inside ... and report:
Although the bar takes its name from the swank gin joints of 1800s London, the decor channels a steampunk aesthetic with a space-age chandelier crafted from green-neon-lit bars, brass bands and light doodads; black-patent-leather walls; and a ceiling painted to resemble watch gears.
So, if we have this Cienfuegos stuff straight (which, we probably don't, as we've never been inside) ... the Cuban-influenced rum bar upstairs remains the same... ditto for the bitters tasting room called Amor y Amargo, which replaced the sandwich shop Carteles. And the main space will now serve fish 'n' chips.

UGH more shiny glass
Back to the drawing board...
"bitters tasting room"??? WTF.
2nd floor bars, it gets worse and worse. CB# will approve anything so long as it includes legal drugs! You watch, they'll disapprove stromboli pizza. My prediction.
Eek, looks like a coffin...
Won't last, that space is cursed...
Swell. A whole new crowd of bozos, drunk on gin no less.
Ok. Gin drinks and fried fish and chips??? better send EV Heave to report on opening day.
YUCK!
