A Makeover for Sandrina's?
According to several moles in the nightlife industry, the longtime South City after-hours haunt Sandrina's will be going into a new phase soon. Though it's currently being bothered by the Arsenal Street bridge construction just outside its front door, Sandrina's is said to be under contract to a group including principals from the Famous Bar, Juniper Grill and even some East Side interets. Hey, hey!
Though the place has long retained that sorta "time forgotten" feel, it won't necessarily be a negative seeing this faded gem restored. At one point, the shuttered dining area hosted regular lunch and dinner crowds, with an in-house piano man. According to what's being whispered, the new club will, in fact, bring the kitchen back into operation and will also see a revamping of the classic bar space, itself.
