Popular Lawrenceville bar reopens after temporary closure

Hambone’s, a popular bar and restaurant on Butler Street in Lawrenceville, has reopened after being closed down by the Allegheny County Treasurer’s Office.

According to a release from the county, Hambone’s owed more than $13,000 in alcohol taxes.

The restaurant was padlocked shut at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019 but reopened about 24 hours later after paying the owed taxes.

The owners of Hambone’s said this was simply a misunderstanding.
