What’s Pat Nagle’s new restaurant called? You name it.
When Pat Nagle opened the Harmon Brew Pub 11 years ago (where did all THAT time go?), he permanently changed the landscape of downtown Tacoma. These days, if you use the name “Nagle” and “visionary” in the same breath, most Tacoma-ites will know exactly what you mean. And it looks like he’s at it again. Pat recently purchased the former St. Helens Café at 203 Tacoma Ave. South and plans to open his own eatery by St. Patrick’s day. The place will serve wood oven pizza and Harmon’s own beer (plus wine and cocktails) in a full-service atmosphere. He’s got everything he needs, it seems, except for one thing: a name. Got any suggestions? Post them here on the blog and I’ll be sure to pass them along to Pat.

Are you quite certain that this isn’t a follow up to the Matador thing in the “Looking Glass Is Behind The Times” series?
Last I heard, the place was already named The Hub.
I believe it’s been named at this point. It’s going to be called The Hub.
LATE PASS
Thanks for the updates. Sorry for the fowl up. We clearly missed the boat on this one. We thought that the decision had not been finalized yet. It’s great to know that we have readers to check up on us! I’ll let Pat know that he should expect some great business at the new restaurant.
Again, thank you both for the news!

Dale,
You are going to have to read the Urbanist and Ed’s Diner more often. As I discuss today, The Hub is also looking for help.
