Here's a quick look at the interior of Resurrection Ale House (2425 Grays Ferry Ave.), which Brendan Hartranft and Leigh Maida open to the public tomorrow night at 5 p.m. The couple (Memphis Taproom, Local 44) didn't make any dramatic structural changes to the interior of the former Yello'bar, but it looks like a whole new place, due in no small part to a vital addition � light. A tinted film used to coat the windows on the Catharine Street side of the bar, but that's gone now, letting plenty of natural light bounce off the new creamy textured wallpaper and pale green molding. There's about 45 seats total between booths, marble round tops and bar stools.

"I want people to be able to have a transcendental beer experience for $20," says Hartranft, who adds that the most expensive entr�e on chef Joey Chmiko's menu is $17. (Tomorrow night they'll pass around some samples of Chmiko's best-with-beer vittles, before launching service full-on Thursday at noon. They're keeping the full menu under wraps till that time.) Here's the opening draft list and the opening bottle list. And in case you recognize Resurrection's bubbly GM during a drop-in this week � she's Kristin Mulvenna, formerly of Caf� Estelle.
