re: Is downtown BR going back to a ghost town?

King Bob argues that him and his friends basically play a game of speed dating downtown with the bars going to a new bar every few minutes.

Have you ever been downtown with a group of 20-something chicks? Those ADD broads would drag us up and down the street all night. This was what they used to do. They would start at Happy's, the Roux House, or Lucy's; then go to B&T's and dance for a while to the cover band. Then, when they'd get tired of that, they'd get some wine at a wine bar; then on to the "dance club" bar; then end the night at the patio of what is now Bengal Tap Room.

You just named a few.

Duvics-nails your hole in the wall. Martini night
Ivars-older Fred's on the weekends, covers the central and Zachary crowd, daytime drinking if so. Wing night
Merchant-burger and beer
Bumsteers-rooftop patio drinking and burger
Digiulios-wine and Italian

Earls-newly renovated and nice
Bulldog-staple in the bar scene. Patio beers

Olive or Twist- great mixed drinks, small but great tap list, good food late and early and happy hour
New Cove on Essen- great mixed drinks and the food looks very good

Hayride Scandal-arguably best drinks in town. Good happy hour

Radio bar-idont go but it's very popular

Superior Highland-3.5 jour happy hour 7 days a week. Included because it's right by my house


So I drive past all of these places to go drink downtown or at least drive a farther distance. I have no reason to go downtown along with all the other residents in 70808 and nearby areas

then your buddy is a retard.


Retarded enough to own multiple drinking establishments throughout the city making a ton of money in the process.

---

with a lifetime of debt. you sound as retarded as him. Because since this great idea of "lets get the cops to come and give our patrons tickets" about 80% of the establishments have shut down.

How much money did Chicken lose investing in them?

What was the name of the Mexican restaurant that was in that spot years ago? I used to like going there when it first opened.

RIP Serano's

carrying the drink for bar to bar wasnt. It was the ticket they got for doing it after it had been allowed for a year or so.

I was down there on the draft house patio the day they started. Police rolled in as usual but after about an hour started ticketing everyone with literally no warning.

yeah, I lived in the overpass area for a year and only ventured off of Perkins when I was dragged to Happy’s. Which sucks because when Happys was too crowded the other options downtown are full of townies

Damn barcadia closed? It was never busy so it makes sense but I used to like it in there

Last time I was there they switched management and I went in at like 8:30 and sat at a table after grabbing drinks at the bar (literally 4 people in the building and none at tables) and they told us we had be seated by the front.

I get the thought process if it was busy at all, but literally we are surrounded by open tables, we aren’t holding anyone up or squatting on a waitresses table or anything bc we were pretty much the only patrons the bartender was more pissed about it than we were bc they were scaring away the only people in the building

How can you not afford hayride scandal? Good lord man

I haven't been at happy hour, but when they first opened, their drinks were all like +$12. I've been on a PBR budget for the past 4 years
