The Pub Station will not open Tuesday and the live show, featuring soul singer Har Mar Superstar and The Pizza Underground featuring former child actor Macaulay Culkin, has been moved to the Railyard Ale House.
The Pub Station is going in at the old bus station, an art deco building, which was built in the late 1940s or early 1950s. It was sold in July by Greyhound Lines Inc. to Kay Foster and Mike Mathew, who are owners of the Babcock Theatre, along with Kim and Don Olsen. Sean Lynch and his wife, Ann Kosempa, who own 11:11 Presents, are leasing the building from Mathew and Foster. They will manage the Pub Station, which will feature regional and national music acts and some local musicians.
On Monday, a few folks wandered by looking for a beer, live music or just a peek inside. The marquee outside announces the club will open soon, and Lynch was hopeful that a final building inspection will be completed on Tuesday in time to open for the show.

Lynch and Mathew have been working with subcontractors since September to tear down walls and put in a bar and a large stage.
“It’s turned out great, even better than I expected,” Lynch said.
Plans are to keep the Pub Station open Monday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to close. It will feature beer, wine and hard cider. When the music is local, there will be no cover charge.
An outdoor area next to the building will be used for the Fat Taco food truck to sell food during business hours.
