Our first visit to the new Pancha’s was a hoot! We got there at 4 p.m. on a Saturday and it did not feel crowded until we left at 6 p.m. Managing partner Scott Lewis was tending bar and we ordered a couple of Guinness stouts in honor of his native Ireland.

We almost immediately saw Carrie Hays playing pool with some old friends. Debbie Lorell arrived with her boyfriend, and a group of her neighbors soon joined them.

Just before we were about to leave, who should sit down next to us at the bar but owners Ren and Marilyn Harris? Pancha’s is now officially our local Cheers Bar!
