Croc to Return With Pizza!

The Times is reporting that the Crocodile Cafe will, after some vague "construction," re-open in early 2009 with a Via Tribunali pizza kitchen in back. Live music will be sound engineered by the Croc's own Jim Anderson. No clue yet who will do the booking, or anything else, really, for that matter. But, there are photos online of how things look at the moment. So, we guess the disappearance of the Croc was really just a chance for the storied Belltown bar to get a little space before it comes back to us for good. And, damn, with pizza! Hott action.

rock & roll and pizza. Strange bedfellows, indeed.

After too many Croc lunches, the photos of the kitchen put me over the edge

It is funny though...high end pizza and dive venue. Sounds f'ing amazing.

I can't believe the amount of stores/bars are opening in the next few months.

Here, Here Troy!

My first read of the story was: WTF?!? They're turning the Crocodile into a gigantic pizza place?!

I am not holding my breath or believing with my whole heart either.
