"St. Patrick’s Day favorite and raucous Irish Channel sports bar Tracey’s is moving, creating a sports bar-heavy hub at its new location on Magazine Street. The 13-year-old bar opened by Jeffrey Carreras in 2010 is moving to a larger, long-empty space at the corner of Pleasant Street seven blocks away on Magazine Street, a block that’s also home to the Bulldog, Rendezvous Lounge, and Balcony Bar. The ground floor of the new, two-story Tracey’s will be more restaurant-like with table service, while the second floor will serve as the more familiar sports bar, according to the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate. Carreras plans to open in the new address on December 26." - Clair Lorell
