When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
It looks really great, and will certainly mesh better with Muppets Courtyard.
Agreed - 100%!
OK, then. Tap House will simply occupy the footprint of Writer's Stop and not be 'behind the facades.'
Now we know.
Now we know.

Still don't know that for sure. It was clear that it would use writers shop, but it's still possible it will extend into part of the facades.

Over at BlogMickey they have photos of the facade, that was hidden behind the scrims.

I really like the idea of this space. Also, not being able to find good cold beer on tap in that park literally always makes me groan. What a great idea. But it just dawned on me...Star Wars Land and Star Tours will be entirely disconnected?

Yes. Star Tours will either be rethemed in the future or another ride will be built (around a different IP)

Did I miss something? Where do you get hot dogs covered in mac and cheese?!
Used to be Fairfax Fare, now they're at Casey's Corner

Yes, this has been known for quite some time now.

What are the plans for Star Tours? Will it be relocated to SWL now? or will we go from Star Tours to Downtown LA and then through a tunnel to SWL:GE?

It will not be relocated. Rumor is that it will likely be re-themed to something else sometime after Star Wars Land opens. Until then it will operate disconnected.

Last I checked, this is in the same footprint as Writer's, just with a different interior layout. Heck, even the akward, unmarked doors that lead to Sci-Fi are where they were before in the concept art. This just has higher ceilings, and an open concept.

I just noticed that there is scaffolding along the back of the first section of the facades. I assume they are doing something to make this look finished since if the past you could see the back of the façade.

Any idea on an opening date for this area and restaurant?

I'm pretty sure they're enclosing that building as part of the new bar, if this place is supposed to have many taps, I'd assume they'd want more space for people than the tiny writers shop offered.

Question... is this going to be listed as it's own area on the park map? Or will this and MC be listed together under one banner?
Even though they're different, I feel like they're both a bit too small and insignificant to list under seperate names. Every other area of the park will be fairly large with at least one ride, and then you have these two. It feels too messy for the OCD egg.

Well Muppet Vision 3D's theater name has been changed to Grand Arts Theater probably to better incorporate it into the adjacent avenue but my guess would be that it will just be known as Muppets Courtyard and the street name wont be listed as an area just a street on the map.
We still don't know what the Mouse has planned for Commissary Lane and Star Tours, for all we know Muppets could be getting another attraction or Grand Ave. could be expanded onto Tatoonie Alley and south to Backlot Express.

I'm sure it will be the crappy mass distributed Cali beers like, Stone, Lagunitas, etc. Don't expect to see any Russian River Pliney on those taps
Late to the party, but a quick aside...
I live in Stone founder's home town of Pataskala, Ohio... Their seasonal "Pataskala Red X IPA" was first brewed and sold as a 100% fundraiser for the band program with which I teach. Stone's beer is great, but their charitable commitment relative to their size is pretty astonishing.
Pataskala Red isn't for everyone, but if you like deep, malt heavy IPA's, give it a shot when it comes back out next spring.
