B Live replaces Whitlows with more live music

This Thursday May 12 an exciting new venue is opening in Clarendon called B Live! The owners of The Lot and Clarendon Pop-Up Bar are bringing back more live music options to the former Whitlow's space. The interior is reimagined in colorful bulb lights with diner-like black and white tile floors, which is a complete departure from Whitlow's previous casual Irish bar atmosphere. A welcome addition is the remodeled stage which promises to host live bands five nights a week. After last weekend's soft opening, owners Mike and Bramson will have Bryen O'Boyle as the headlining musician.
