re: The Draft House, with 95 taps, to open in former 3rd Street Pub downtown

Very true

I agree with the original sentiments Jones had in this thread in that I don't really know if I see this being a huge gem in the craft beer nerd scene. I think they will be easily influenced by what needs to be done in order to survive downtown.. which is live music/a DJ bumping booty shaking music, a party atmosphere, etc.

I don't really know the overhead for craft beer vs. "regular" bar items, but if it is significantly more expensive, I could see where only having business on Friday and Saturday could hurt them.

It really could go either way. I don't see a reason to shite on it. But I can admit I doubt I'll go there regularly. Not because of the bar. Because the distance to downtown vs. regular places, cab issues, etc. It would have to be significantly better than what we already have for me to make those sacrifices.
