Karma out, Conall’s in at 51 1st Ave.

In recent weeks or months, we've been observing the transformation at 51 First Ave. between Third Street and Fourth Street, where versions of the bi-level Karma hookah lounge have been replaced by Conall's Public House.

Per its website: "Conall's Public House serves hearty, made-from-scratch Irish dishes, hosts lively nights of live music, and pours the finest drinks inspired by the Emerald Isle." 

Its Instagram account has this: "New Irish Cocktail Sports Pub." 

Owner Gene Lennon is behind several other local establishments, including Juke Bar on Second Avenue and 12th Street, and The Mayfly on Houston and Suffolk (not to mention Trinity Pub on the UES). 

You can register for the opening party this spring here.
