There was a farewell party at my dive bar last night.
They're wrecking it and putting up high rise condos/apartments...

Some of you might like to check it out, as they're auctioning off the entire place...

Dang! That sucks. I would come down there and buy a pool table if i had anywhere to put it in my house.

 

wish I knew this sooner to plan on Monday.. or to make a pre-offer on the tanks

 

I want the pool tables...

 

Yeah, no ****. Thanx for the info Pele but more notice would have helped. 200 gallon stainless .... I have nowhere to put it and couldn't really use it anyway but oh the humanity!!!! Hell, even the kitcken cookare would be awesome. ****, ****, ****... it's only 55 miles from my house but the wife and I are both working tomorrow. I wouldn't get home until 10pm at the earliest. I wonder if they will take the kids in trade.

So, what are you going to do for a local watering hole now?

 

I have a couple downtown.

That one just had so much... "personality"...

Holes in the cinderblock walls filled with expanding insulating foam... wiring hanging from the ceiling... The A/C and air filtration system looked like a central air handler from a house, just kinda ripped outta the basement and set there in the floor, random ductwork hapahzardly directing the air about the joint...

The pool tables "automatically" put some english on your shots.

The TV's were those video game demo units that you see in Wal*Mart or Blockbuster... A little 13 inch TV in a steel cabinet with two controllers mounted on armored brackets, space for a console in the bottom...

The VIP "booth" that was really the top of a grain silo with a hole for a doorway cut in it.


It was like a public frat party.



I didn't know this was gonna be the grand finale... they've been talking about demolishing the place for a while now, but never end up doing it... I think I've been to four or five "final" events there...

But this was the actual thing.

 

Yes, that is quite some "charm" isn't it!! Found a new restuarant downtown that is similar. Red Square. It's a Russian palce in case you couldn't tell. The men's bathroom has a 2ft square hole in the wall in the stall. A smaller hole near the urinal. The paper towel dispenser looks like it lost a duel with a bus. They have two cats that are in the dining area patrolling for mice. Dining area looks nice but I'm afraid of what the kitchen looks like.

But they hav great food. I'll keep going until it kills me or they get condemned.

 

that place was awesome, sad to see it go.

I heard about this a day too late or I would have been at the farewell party.

hopefully they will do well with the new location. not sure if it will have the same "personalty" though.
