I wonder if in the renovation they damaged their heating system. My last two visits to Volo have been so cold as to be well on the uncomfortable side. Everyone was wearing their coats and many had their hats on. I wonder if this is typical?

Yeah, it is cold, we were there on the 17th and might have stayed for another beer but despite sitting beside the fireplace we were freezing and left early for dinner at Bar Hop. Mentioned it to Andrew (Bartender) and he said he would pass it on, but don't know if anything has or will be done. It's too bad, but really you shouldn't be colder than the beer you are drinking!

Was there Tuesday night for a few hours and it was toasty. So if they had any heating problems, they are fixed. Place was also hopping, even at 7 pm on a Tuesday, so I assume the renovations and new direction have been a big hit!
