Coming Soon: The Auld Dubliner
Opening soon, Tucson's Auld Dubliner is No. 4 in a budding chain of authentic Irish pubs owned and operated by a team of young entre-pub-neurs. The interior was built in Ireland and imported to 800 E. University Blvd. The menu will feature appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, Irish fare and entrées like lamb chops, steak and salmon, to go along with imported beers and a full bar.

Closed: Nonie
Last week, Nonie closed again. In March 2005, long-time owners Chris and Suzi Leonard sold Nonie to two Sonoran shrimp farmers who sold it to Mike Dixon and Vivian Stanchfield in November 2005. That's just too much turnover in so little time. Though Nonie sported a recent new sign, its menu was muddled. Maybe the second and third owners relied on Nonie's popularity and didn't try hard enough? Maybe there can only be one Nonie because part of the charm was the people who owned it? Maybe the next occupant has to find their own niche, name and really do their homework?
