Actually, this is a reopening. Readers probably know that this is a regular haunt of mine, and I'm glad it's back in action. Rita had sold the bar and had several teary-eyed closing parties, expecting to have the new owners sign the papers the next week. That didn't happen. Fair enough, until the prospective buyers delayed the closing of the deal about a half dozen more times, leaving Rita in a bad spot, losing money on a closed business. Finally a month and a half later, the deal dissolved and Rita decided the best idea was to do some renovations and remodeling. The place has a fresh look and a fresh attitude, and it is still Coeur d'Alene's oldest and best nightclub/Patrick Jacob, Get Out! North Idaho. More here.

Question: Which nightclub/watering hole do you think is the best in the region?
