Darb’s Tavern & Eatery at at 117 S. Cedar Street in Mason has seen an uptick in client base and customer satisfaction since completing its summer renovation.
Long-time manager Rob Hearit recently bought the 4,000 square foot building, which he says was in desperate need of an update.
“I managed it for 28 years and it pretty much looked the same for all those years,” he says.
He stared the renovation in July and finished it at the end of September. Hearit replaced half of the parking lot, remodeled the women’s bathrooms, updated the interior décor, added big screen TVs, opened a previously covered window and added new booths to expand the size of the eatery.
“As a result, we’ve seen an increase in business,” he says. “I’d say it’s about a ten to 15 percent increase. In this economy, that’s not too bad.”
