Renovations on The Hammer

I'll put up a couple from shots from my wife's iPhone covering renovations at the The Hammer: No. 14 - Lane 9, Wanhua Road, Younghe, New Taipei City / 新台北市 永和區文化路  9巷 14號. 

We're still missing a lot of stuff, but have decided to open on Saturday, November 17 nonetheless. The slowness of the process is driving me crazy; for example, we haven't been able to find certain ingredients even though we know they are out there in Taiwan. We don't have a sign either. Our bar stools make people look like midgets (need some new ones, I suppose) and our Blue Jay pictures have yet to arrive. Still, I am happy with the overall progress; some of it has gone really well.

The address seems incorrect, seems like there's no Wanhua (萬華?) or 文華路 in New Taipei (which is usually written 新北市, not 新台北市).

Am I correct assuming it is "No. 14, Lane 9, Wenhua Road, Yonghe district, New Taipei City / 新北市永和區文化路9巷14號"? Then it would seem to be near 不只有派 (Frankie's)...

Thanks for correcting me, I hope I can check your place out some time in the nearby future!

Cheers. I think you are right. I will correct it.

Is HAMMER 漢馬 or 含媽 in Chinese, Taiwanese pronounciation, or direct translation in Japanese as 金鎚?

"The Hammer" as in "If I had a hammer" - Hays and Seeger (or Peter Paul and Mary)?

The Hammer is my daughter's nickname.

I like the design. I was wondering, if you'll have a kind of a logo in a shape of a hammer :)

There's a sledge hammer on our cards, but not the front sign.
