Poor Richard's Commonhouse replaces Majors in Bloomington

On September 1, 2010, the Bloomington location of local mini-chain Majors Sports Cafe closed down. On September 8, it  reopened as Poor Richard's Commonhouse, a colonial American-themed pub. The similar-sounding tavern, or "commonhouse" concept has done well in St. Louis Park's McCoy's Public House, so there's no reason to think it won't go over with Bloomintonites--especially when they had Ronnie from MTV's Jersey Shore in the store on Saturday, September 18!

Poor Richards is a concept of the Premier restaurant group, which operates all the Majors restaurants, Stella's Fish Cafe, and Molly Cool's, plus a few other bar & grilles in the suburbs and a couple other restaurants around the country.
