Power Problems Plague Pride Hub

While most of Wilton Manors focuses on building up, Pub On the Drive decided to build out. In August, they held a VIP party and ribbon cutting. The next day, it went dark.

Officials said engineers didn’t correctly gauge how much electricity the area would use, and turning on power to the new patio behind the restaurant could short circuit the entire building.

Two months later, the lights came on and stayed on.

Overall, the community is impressed. The new space is beautiful, with sleek wood walls, a large bar, a translucent cover and ceiling fans to keep things cool, six televisions, and seating for about 75.
