After a two-year hiatus, one of Italian Village’s most iconic spots to grab a drink has officially reopened its doors.

St. James tavern re-opened for business over the weekend. The popular spot had previously been closed since 2020, following the outbreak of COVID-19 in Ohio. The tavern had initially hoped to reopen as early May of 2020, but the moved never materialized until now.

St. James tavern is located at 1057 N. 4th St.
