Condyne and Advantage Construction Announce the Grand Opening of Harry’s Blues Bar, Hyannis

After much anticipation, Condyne LLC and Advantage Construction are pleased to announce the grand opening of the new Harry’s Blues Bar at 700 Main Street, Hyannis, MA.

In hopes of recreating the once vibrant West End of Hyannis, Condyne purchased the land at the corner of Main Street and Stevens Street to build a first class mixed use project. Advantage Construction, the general contractor, built the new 9,800 square foot retail and office building next to the original Harry’s. “We saw potential for the redevelopment of an industrial site into a vibrant, mixed-use development situated right on Main Street in Hyannis,” says Don O’Neill, Vice President of both Condyne and Advantage Construction.

For 20 years, Harry’s Blues Bar has been serving Cape Cod’s finest Cajun cuisine as well as live blues music. Located on the corner of Main and Stevens Streets in Hyannis, Harry’s has a packed house every night of locals and tourists alike who come to enjoy the famous jambalaya and dance to some of the area’s, as well as the country’s, finest blues acts.

The restaurant will now occupy 2,700 square feet of the new facility. Owner Laddie Durham hopes to sustain the atmosphere and vibe in the new building that the old Harry’s has was known for for so many years. Many of the original memorabilia was transported to the new facility, including the motorcycle that hung above the bar and the many photographs of patrons and famous acts that have played at Harry’s over the years. Some new amenities include a cathedral ceiling over the dance floor and acoustical upgrades. With painted murals on the walls, the Bourbon Street feel that Durham had envisioned for years immediately comes alive.
