Condyne LLC and Advantage Construction have opened Harry's Blues Bar at 700 Main St.
In hopes of recreating the once vibrant West End of Hyannis, Condyne purchased the land at the corner of Main St and Stevens St. to build a first class mixed use project. Advantage Construction, the general contractor, built the 9,800 s/f retail and office building next to the original Harry's. For 20 years, Harry's Blues Bar has been serving cajun cuisine as well as live blues music. Harry's has a packed house every night of locals and tourists alike who come to enjoy the jambalaya and dance to some of the area's, and country's finest blues acts.
The restaurant will now occupy 2,700 s/f of the new facility. Owner Laddie Durham hopes to sustain the atmosphere and vibe in the new building that the old Harry's has been known for. Many of the original memorabilia was transported to the new facility, including the motorcycle that hung above the bar and the photographs of patrons and famous acts that have played at Harry's over the years.
Some new amenities include a cathedral ceiling over the dance floor and acoustical upgrades. With painted murals on the walls, the Bourbon St. feel that Durham had envisioned for years immediately comes alive.
