Viking Tavern going through a renaming, and may reopen as a full bar

Somebody appears to want to reopen the Viking Tavern, in north Spokane at 1221 N. Stevens. Instead of a tavern, the state application for a liquor license says the business will be the Viking Bar and Grill.

Current owner Barbara Randazzo closed it down about two weeks ago, without offering a detailed reason, nor providing plans for whether it would come back.

The state liquor license page shows that two folks are applying for a liquor license: they are Troy William Hardy and Kim Duffy.

Notably, the application, filed on Thursday July 5, shows an application for beer, wine and spirits.  Until now, Randazzo has operated the Viking with only a beer license.
