The Market Arms on hold, waiting for permits

Things are at a standstill at Market Street’s newest pub, The Market Arms.

John Bayliss, the owner of The George & Dragon in Fremont and soon-to-be-pub on the corner of 24th & Market says he submitted plans about four weeks ago and is now waiting on the building permit. “There was also a delay where we had to wait two weeks for an interview with a city planning department engineer before we could submit the plans,” he tells us, “The process for change of use is always a bit trickier.” He says they anticipate opening three months after they begin work. As he told us before, it “won’t be a high end bar, just a casual English pub.” (Thanks bamm314 for posting the question in the forum!)
