The new Ardmore Avenue brewcafe is hoping to open in late May.

"Some days, mostly weekends, it's almost impossible to get work done here," said Tired Hands owner Jean Broillet on Wednesday, when Patch stopped by for a tour of the brewcafe soon to open at 16 Ardmore Ave.

Things have taken longer than anticipated to come together, but now, the bars are installed, the taps are in, tables—constructed from wooden beams that were removed from the building in the renovation process—are getting put together, and bar stools are arriving soon.

On the township side of things, the brewcafe hasn't hit any roadblocks; the only permit that's left to obtain is an occupancy permit, which should be happening soon, Broillet said.
