Because certainly you can’t get too many updates on Pony (CHS reviews) and news about bars with decks on Capitol Hill: The observant and/or Madison-traveling may have noticed that not only does the soon-to-be new home of Pony have a new sign, there’s also some construction going on.

The DPD permit describes the work thusly:

Change of use from retail to drinking establishment and construct deck/fence addition to existing commercial building, and occupy per plans.

The $34,000 project will add yet another new outdoor drinking option on the Hill for our sunnier-than-typical Seattle summer.

Pony was born as a temporary replacement for the doomed Cha Cha space on Pine. You can read many odes to its past glories, here. Its new location was previously the home of Acacia Florist. The new Pony is slated for an early August opening.
