But now it looks like it will have a new owner and new name. Jim Phalan, owner of Firkin & Fox, will be taking over Doppelgangers and converting it to the Knee Deep Brewing Company.

The dispute between the Mom & Pop's Diner owner Doug Cramer and Brewery Arts Center director John Procaccini is heading for small claims court.

I wrote about this dispute back in June, adding to the story from the Appeal on the subject.

In short, Cramer signed a contract that included a diagram that showed where the bars operated by Mom & Pop's and Firkin & Fox were to be located. But those locations were changed in a way that Cramer claims was detrimental to his business, cutting off access to the bulk of the crowd. Procaccini admits that changes were made to the bar locations, but doesn't agree that the changes constitutes a breach of contract.

The Nevada Appeal has a story about Brewery Arts Center Executive Director John Procaccini stepping down. Procaccini also figures prominently in the Curry Street Promenade issue. We'll have more on this change in leadership at BAC in the coming days.
