Joad Bowman and Austin Oliver, who own two restaurants in downtown Pittsfield, believe in the city so much that have opened a third small enterprise, Lulu s Tiny Grocery.
The currently closed Thistle and Mirth pub is reopening as a spacious ramen restaurant and bar by taking over the abutting space that formerly housed Berkshire Print Shop on West Street Beginning in spring, it will be ladling up the noodle soup, similarly themed menu items, and drinks Tuesday through Saturday for dinner service, takeout, and eventually lunch. Co-owner Austin Oliver said it is important to him to maintain the glory of the pub in the renovation while adding the element of ramen and abiding by COVID-19 regulations. The bar has been boarded up since the statewide lockdown in March, sparking questions and concerns from regulars who consider it home.
