The Jolly Roger should be open late September early October but contact Patti or Kelly for an update. I believe it will be what it was and even much more as they are adding a story and bringing in some professional(Canadian) help to finish the inside. Kelly is an accomplished artist with the airbrush to make the interior even better than it was. No I am not a cheerleader just a part time DR resident who is a loyal optimist. They are decent people who do a lot for the local community and make old and new expats feel welcome in Sosua.
Well until Antica Locanda also burnt down - 2 doors from Jolly Roger ( also another "Electrical Fire" ? ) that would have been our recommendation. Great pastas and sauces, at really good price. Try Pasta Mama on Dr. Alejo Martinez, next to Coco Hotel. I guess you can tell we like good Italian !
Kelly is planning on opening Jolly Rodger by Halloween. So look for a late October opening. Construction is going on at a good pace and it will be quite the place when opened.
I have eaten at Midtown several times and really like it. The food is very good, there's a nice relaxed atmosphere and Alan, the owner, makes you feel very welcome!
