Catherine’s Pub, the new Taps, hasn’t even opened yet, but it’s already up for sale.

Has been for sale, actually, since November.

And it won’t be called Catherine’s Pub anymore, said property owner Chris Reda. Until someone buys it, it’ll be known as Delia Foley’s.

Judging from their actions, the new owners never intended to keep the two-story bar. 

The bar at 1439 South Charles Street was Taps until Reda and Ropewalk Tavern’s Marc MacFaul bought it in August for $450,000.

Two weeks ago they started to renovate it with the intention to re-open in January as Catherine’s Pub.

That’s still the plan, Reda said. But the owners have always had an eye on selling the nearly 5,000-square-foot property.

They started listing it on Craigslist just three months after they bought it.

And for an additional $75,000. 

A reader noticed a post on Craigslist yesterday, but the Chris Reda Team had actually already listed it two other times, in November and early December.  

The renovations to the bar also suggest the new owners are keen on making the property more attractive to prospective buyers.  Reda has said these will be reserved to the exterior, plus some cosmetic changes to the inside.

The new price is $525,000, including the bar’s liquor license. 

But Reda said they’re “not actively” selling the bar. “We would sell if someone was interested,” he said Monday when I spoke with him.
