I'm trying to figure out how they could that other side. Maybe knock out the wall behind the bar and open it up? Zee Zee's is good because you can relax at a table and still feel like you're partying in a bar. If you go to the other side of Ivars, you feel completely separated from the main part
Use the bar that is back there on busy nights and have a solid TV set up back there.

back in the early 1990's up until 2000's or so I would go in atleast once a week, then slowly hit the bar seen less and less - met some bud's in the place probably 2005 or so and didn't know a soul in the joint.
Hooked up with a bartender mid 1994 - not bad.

I'd say just change the door on that side to be your front entrance...people will start out on that side and it will spill over to what is now the main part. That could clear some of that space up, instead of funneling people right into more people traffic

what I can't understand is not having a website or at least a correct website if you google ivars or even go to ivars fb page the link has for years directed you to a restaurant in the northeast by the same name. no big deal I guess b/c you can't order drinks online.

Are drink prices going to be lower to reasonable levels?
New pool table?
Redoing bathrooms?
Are they going to do the things necessary to ensure people are not overcharged? Which happens now all the time.

Any new owner would be an idiot not to do that stuff

If you're too prissy to piss inside, just go to the one outside, and if you're too prissy for that maybe you shouldn't be in a bar. You're probably the guy who is scared to piss in the trough at Freds because everyone can see your wee wee and the door might open up and everyone is gonna laugh at you.
Redoing bathrooms?
fricking redoing the bathroom. You've got to be shitting me
Eta: How do you know you were overcharged? IIRC, domestic beers are $4.50, shots are $4, single liquor drinks are $9, and doubles are $14

but really, the new owners would be fools not to go with natural tones and a mosaic backsplash in the bathroom

The bathroom is tiny and fricking gross. What bar has a fricking one-seater where everyone waits in line where people are trying to play pool?
I had 2 buckets of beer with a few friends one night and our tab bill was over $100. When we told the girl she said someone must have ordered drinks on our table?
I've had huge bills and only ordered a few drinks there several times and so have countless other people...are you dating one of the hags that works there? Why are you so vehemently taking up for this shithole?

Didn't Fred's recently redo their bathrooms?

quote:No idea what a one-seater is, but damn near every bar bathroom I go in looks round about the same way. I'm not in there fixing my makeup or even taking a shite, I'm in there to piss and go back to partying. If you didn't like that bathroom, go piss by the dumpsters in the back. If you didn't want to do that, go piss under the bridge.

Favorite bar bathroom ever us either the tiny one at Grits or the tiny one at Duvics.
Did you even know there was a bathroom outside?
I'm not currently dating, nor have I ever dated anyone who worked there, but it sounds to me like you've been there once or twice, maybe three times tops. It is a bar bathroom, not a place to hang out and chit chat while spraying the other half of your bottle of aqua de gio on yourself and making sure your Bama swoop isn't crooked

The first night they were open their special was "Free Drinks Until Someone Used The Bathroom"

No sweat. Just informed that despite my earlier post that the Edwards clan participant is actually a grandson and not a nephew. Supposedly "sober" buddy who swore to this is currently being punished.

My wife and her friends won't go in there anymore because of the bathrooms. I'm not complaining about that one issue but it cuts down on the women which in turn cuts down on male customers.

The outside bathroom was always clean

Has anyone been in recently? I went by the other night and I find it amazing that everything mentioned in this thread has been taken care of at the bar. New tap lines, new bathrooms, new televisions, a bar on the patio. it is really quite amazing the transformation that has occurred.

I wanted to check out when I was in BR for the game. Might do that in a few weeks.
What were beer prices?
