Update: Deal Falls Through for New O'Leary's Owner

O'Leary's Restaurant customers may not be seeing changes at the Sunset Hills pub soon after all--an intended sale has fallen through, sources confirmed to Patch.

In November Phillip Greene approached the city's Board of Aldermen for business and liquor license application approval, just a couple months after the O'Learys put up the Lindbergh Boulevard space for sale. While restaurant owners said the switch would come after the first of the year, a member of the ownership group intended to purchase the restaurant confirmed that the deal was not going forward.

"I wish them well but we were unable to work a deal out," said Jason Greene.

The O'Leary's have not yet returned requests for comment.

The restaurant, best known for its fried pickles and connection to co-owner John Goodman, was one of several structures damaged on New Year's Eve 2010.

O'Leary's was also voted favorite place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day by Patch Readers.
