And it was Benjamin’s before Biers with basically the same menu. Seems to be a sort of trend: Monterey pub reopened with new owners and relatively unchanged, black forge coffee…

Monterey is pretty different these days. Much cleaner, food is better quality, generally brighter inside. Cocktail menu, out back was transformed from a mud pit to a cool hang out spot that's dog friendly. Plenty different.

Fair point and didn’t mean to minimize what the new owners did (I love it there) but rather saying they tried to keep the good parts and general branding intact

Ohh yeah that's true.

I’m still sad they no longer have the boxty though. Haven’t found it anywhere else.

Pipers used to have boxty during brunch, and are supposedly on the way to reopening
