Woo hoo, celebrate you Cedar Parkers, Brendan Hartranft and Leigh Maida of Memphis Taproom are headed to 44th and Spruce to take over Kelliann’s. The new bar will be known as Local 44 and will focus on beer and pub grub suitable for a neighborhood bar.

Local 44 will be in Spruce Hill, but you’re right–this Cedar Parker is celebrating!

Sure sounds a whole lot like the institute. Immitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

Actually it sure sounds a lot like their Memphis Taproom which opened b e f o r e the Institute.
The Institute IS a great bar.(kitchen coming within two months)…But the combined creative genius of Lee and Brendan don’t have to imitate anyone.
