"Check Your Status at the Door"
That's how management of the soon-to-open Blitz describe the bar's style. Opening St. Paddy's Day weekend (March 16), Blitz promises to be the opposite of the typical Pearl District bar. We got a sneak peek this week and we can't wait for it to open!
More details to come soon, but here's what we can share for now... Blitz is huge. (Much bigger than it looks from the outside - approx. 6,000 sq. ft.) Upstairs is a nice "social gathering" area with tall ceilings and long bars to place your drink on. Downstairs is where the more casual fun will take place - shuffle boards, pool tables, etc. The walls are covered in semi-finished plywood, giving the place an industrial feel.
Stay tuned for details on their grand opening. We hear they're flying in a band from Belfast! (Blitz, by the way, is located at 10th and Couch, near Noodles & Co.)

I really hope they don't allow smoking. Lowbrow is the only casual bar around here, but I can't subject my lungs to that air.

It is all non-smoking

Thanks for the scoop. I drove by it last week and was wondering what is going in that space. It's so nice to hear that it will be a casual bar. How refreshing.

It will be good to have a new St. Paddy's spot. Last year I went to Kell's and swore I would never do that insane, crowded party again.

Do you know if Blitz will have a cover fee on St. Patricks weekend?
