Who Is Renovating The Former Rocky Run?

Inside the former Rocky Run restaurant
Someone is renovating the space that used to be the Rocky Run restaurant off Dobbin Road in Columbia.

There had been talk two years ago about this becoming a Buffalo Wild Wings, but that plan involved the demolition of the building -- plus a Buffalo Wild Wings went into the Arundel Mills Mall.

Last week, Erik drove past and noticed construction inside the Rocky Run building.  He said people were going in and out.  When I rolled by Saturday, the site was quiet, but the inside looked it was being torn up.  Two dumpsters were packed along the side.

Does anyone know what's happening here?  Demolition or renovation?  Restaurant coming?  Erik and I want to know.

    You should have looked at the permits that should be posted prominently on the windows. If there weren't any permits, then you call the county to report them.

    hmmm...interesting...we just passed it tonight and I don't recall seeing any permits or signs. I wasn't looking for permits particularly, but I was looking for a sign. There were full dumpsters out back and the lights were on.

    We went to Pei Wei for lunch and there was a construction company van out back and the lights were on inside. I didn't notice any permits posted.

    I bet It's a new venture from the owners of Pratt Street Ale House. :)

    A DuClaw would be fantastic. That way I don't have to drive to Hanover every time I need to refill my growlers.

    I vote for a Gentleman's Club in that spot. Obviously, that will never happen in Howard County.

    So, what we *really* want is a Gentlemen's club/pool hall that serves Hard Times chili, DuClaw beer, and Red, Hot, & Blue BBQ. With a Whole Foods grocery case in the lobby, for essentials. You'd think someone could pull that off, in the richest county, in the richest state, in the richest country in the world...

    I just saw demo permits in the front window issued from Howard County.
