The last 12 months were some of the most eventful in the 12-year history of The Goose's Acre. Following a fire in late 2011, The Goose's Acre was forced to shut down operations for a few months before re-opening in February 2012.
The waterfront patio bar and restaurant continued to see its crowds grow, and owners Brian Young and Colm O'Neill finally opened a second story patio.
"It was something that we saw that would be a nice expansion," Young said.
With The Goose's Acre's ground-level patio already providing one of the best views around, Young and O'Neill set out about a year and a half ago to build the second story patio. After the plans were approved, the patio took about three months to build, Young said, before opening Dec. 20.
