Second Chance Saloon, Diamondback Tavern Now Open

You'll have to Google around for food reviews and whatnot, but both places mentioned on here are now open.

Second Chance Saloon is the new home for the old and apparently much-beloved Last Chance Saloon in the same location in Columbia. Diamondback Tavern was opened at the same location as the old Tiber River Tavern in downtown Ellicott City. Obviously Baltimore Beer Guy will have to make stops in the near future to both of these destinations as both promise good beer!

There is this note from Beer In Baltimore about Second Chance Saloon:

The Second Chance Saloon opened Friday in Columbia's Oakland Mills Village Center, where the Last Chance Saloon once was. I spoke to some friends who went there Saturday night.
They said that the menu and beer selection are currently limited, and that the service was slow; however, they thought that each of those things could be because they had just opened the day before.

Also, be sure to check them out and let me know what they're like if you make it before I do.

The Last Chance Saloon, Reborn?

This place predates my arrival in Maryland but I've read it was quite the place for craft beer nuts back in the day. At Hedgehog Report via HowChow, it looks like the shuttered establishment will take new ownership and attempt to re-open as "Second Chance Saloon".

There's even a website.

Oct 15th, 2008: We are remodeling our Saloon under new ownership, and are getting ready to reopen our establishment. Our Web Site is also under construction.

We will announce our upcoming events here shortly.
Return again to see the latest news and opening dates. Thank you.

It's tucked away in the sneaky little loops of Columbia so I'm extremely curious what it'll be like and how it will affect other Columbia and Howard County beer spots (Frisco Grille, Judge's Bench, Ellicott Mills Brewing, etc.).

Stay tuned ... and feel free to email me tips and updates if you hear anything of what's going on and what their plans are.
