The Porterhouse Pub is moving into the former Blackbird restaurant and dubs itself a family-friendly pub owned by West Seattle resident Silas Reynolds.

Reynolds currently operates another Porterhouse restaurant in Mount Vernon, Wash. He said the West Seattle location will be similar, but catering more to the Seattle clientele.

The Porterhouse Pub will serve 25 beers on tap, including a rotating selection of West Coast ales. Still, it will not be a 21-and-over establishment, and Reynolds said he plans to make it "family-friendly."

"We're trying to get into the neighborhood pub feel," said Reynolds.

Then menu will be similar to the Mount Vernon restaurant which offers a variety of "pub foods" including seafood, steaks, pasta, soups and salads.

Inside the new restaurant, Reynolds wants to include new wood work and warmer colors to create a "cozy" environment. The West Seattle Herald will be posting pictures of the new decor soon.

While he has not set a specific date, Reynolds plans to open the Porthouse Pub in July.
