Change in Ownership For Two Pubs on Main

Restaurant real estate representatives (including Alpert/Siegal & Associates) on Main Street confirm that two popular hang outs are in the process of changing ownership. Rick's on Main has been sold. Private owners sold the spot this week to Main Street Restaurant Venture, a Santa Monica-based group. Separately, through another broker, Library Alehouse staff confirm that the restaurant is in the process of changing hands for the first time since it opened in 1995. An ABC license filed last month confirms that DT Fruition Company has purchased the space. Staff do not yet know if the concept will remain the same or change. [EaterWire]
