Update: Former Republic to Open as Spaghetti Bros. Later this Month

From the Cow Holla-adjacent file: Eater SF has a nice write-up about what's to become of the former Republic space on Lombard & Scott. Apparently, it's going to be a spaghetti joint that straddles the line between high and low...kinda like how Republic was supposed to be a sports bar that elevated the concept with high-quality food and low(ish)-priced game-day suds.

Here's hoping the new team has long-term success -- and gluten-free pasta options.

Betelnut is closing. In 2 days.
