Make it a Destination
It doesn't have to come back as a single restaurant. It could come back as a resident only "social center" with things like pool tables, dart boards, vintage pin ball machines and other supervised games.
Keep the bar of course and make the food area a food court with a few different smaller food kitchens rented out to people with food service knowledge like the food truck entrepreneurs offering different menu items.
Plenty of room for adding entertainment and special events and making it a real resident destination. Never got to experience the two story version but that would be awesome to see.
It would become a place to go again and liven up the square especially during the day before the entertainment begins. It would keep more people in the square all day and that would be good for all businesses.
