The Yard, the gastropub at 119 Broadway in Santa Monica bid goodbye after the holidays.  Now construction is fast and furious on a new restaurant replacing it.  Papers are up in the window announcing the new venture to be The Craftsman Bar and Kitchen.  I can find little information on the new watering hole except for their elaborate official website, which mysteriously appears to be in Latin gibberish (or at least I couldn’t get Google Translate to sort it out).  Check it out here and let me know if you have any luck:  thecraftsmanbar.com.  I’ll keep you posted…
