Fremont East in downtown Las Vegas is about to get an new addition to its growing line-up of restaurants, The Smashed Pig Gastropub.<\/p>\n

The new restaurant recently got its sign, including some requisite neon, and the owners say the official opening can be expected within a month.<\/p>\n

\"Smashed
The Smashed Pig sign is officially lit, as we can only assume many of its customers will be when it opens. It’s Fremont Street, after all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We bumped into Smashed Pig’s husband and wife restauranteaurs, Martin Swift and Linda Rodriguez, and the couple says the restaurant has been a two-year labor of love. These are the same folks behind the underrated Hachi restaurant, once at Red Rock Resort.<\/p>\n

The Smashed Pig is an intimate space, long and narrow (just 15 feet wide and 110 feet deep), taking up the space formerly occupied by a tattoo shop. The restaurant is next to the newly-opened Flippin’ Good Burgers & Shakes.<\/p>\n

\"Smashed
Expect a wide selection of ales, stouts, lagers and other things we don’t entirely know the difference between.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The eatery, a partnership with Zappo’s CEO Tony Hsieh’s Downtown Project, will have a British bent, and a prominent bar that seemingly takes up half the floor space of the restaurant. Just the way this Las Vegas blog likes it.<\/p>\n

The “smashed” in Smashed Pig makes us think libations will play a prominent part in the experience.<\/p>\n

\"Smashed
Cushy seats, purse hooks and charging stations. Downtown necessities, baby.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The English pub-inspired menu holds great promise as well, as both Swift and Rodriquez were trained by Nobu Matsuhisa. Yes, that Nobu.<\/p>\n

Probably the best way to stay abreast of the latest Smashed Pig news is to like the restaurant’s Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’re always happy to see a new restaurant and bar offering on Fremont Street, and if the charm and experience of the owners are any indication, Smashed Pig is set to be a smashing success.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
