It has been around for six years.  It was recently (this year) purchased by  
its new owners.  I guess we can quibble about what "new" means, but I 
misunderstood the lineage of the bar as it was related to me by a friend of 
mine.  

So:  It is new [to me] since moving to raleigh 20 years ago; under new 
management (what is "new management" in the sports bar biz?  Is it a 
discrete category, or is there a continuum involved?  We will have to leave 
that question to the philosophers for times when they are not drinking 
their beers and shouting at the tv screens),  and finally it is no doubt 
ancient to our new friend.  


You are correct:  "New" is a matter of perspective.
