Gin’s Tavern breaks ground for brand new bar

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, WYOMING COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Earlier this year in May, the popular Gin’s Tavern in Factoryville was tragically burned to ash, after a swift-moving fire.

But, good news is on the horizon as the tavern announced on Wednesday, that excavation has begun to start building the new bar.

We are aiming for July 2024 for our grand opening, with a soft opening a week or so beforehand exclusively for community members who have helped get us to this point. Our local fire companies, the construction crews, the Benefit-4-Gin’s committee who put on the amazing benefit for us over the summer, and the business owners who have been employing our staff over the last few months, will all be invited. I can’t wait to see everyone’s smiling faces in a couple of months. You’re only a stranger but once at Gin’s.”

The bar is opening at a new location across the road at 255 State Route 107.
