Or, even a beer garden like Franklin Park, ala 2008+. If I were Tony, I'd keep my fancy cheeses and organic veggies on the Northside of EP, and consider a tenant for Pioneer ....such as a drug store. Instead of a beer garden that tries to compete with the established Franklin Park, I'd think about something lower key, and more likely to be supported (at least in part) by the residents of Ebbets Field. Perhaps a self serve, by the pound restaurant (like those in midtown that cater to office workers seeking lunch), but catering to people too busy to cook and too broke for table service. We all seem to agree that there is unmet demand south of EP, and -thus- good money to be made. I'm just a little more cautious about which demographics it is going to made from, and unwilling to lose money while I wait for a demographic that I perceive as still too small. To put it a different way, I believe supply should arrive at almost the exact time as demand, and don't want Tony to lose money by over estimating the area's 3 yr potential. If the area becomes wealthier than my predictions, he can adapt again..... </blockquote> A beer garden for Franklin SOUTH of EP http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/a-beer-garden-for-franklin-south-of-ep#post-761965 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 12:07:47 +0000 pulpandbean 761965@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ The folks at the church made it clear they will object to any bar type biz next door to them.

We should also keep in mind that running a bar/beer garden is a full time job. He should not open it until he has all of the pieces (including security) in place. Recent incident at Franklin Park: <blockquote><cite>patch » </cite>Thief Maces Bar Bouncer While Stealing Bags A 36-year-old man was charged with trying to steal two bags from Franklin Park and then spraying mace at the bouncer who stopped him. The man grabbed the bags at about 12:15 a.m. on June 27 at the bar, at 618 St. Johns Place at Franklin Avenue. When the bouncer stopped him the man threatened to spray him with mace if he called 911. It’s not clear what the bouncer did next, but the thief then threatened to kill the bouncer and sprayed the mace. In the bags were $9,480 worth of goods including a MacBook Air laptop and cash, according to a police report.</blockquote> <a href="http://prospectheights.patch.com/articles/police-blotter-thief-maces-bar-bouncer-and-shots-fired-into-st-johns-place-door" rel="nofollow">http://prospectheights.patch.com/articles/police-blotter-thief-maces-bar-bouncer-and-shots-fired-into-st-johns-place-door</a> A beer garden for Franklin SOUTH of EP http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/a-beer-garden-for-franklin-south-of-ep#post-757059 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 17:03:04 +0000 ntfool 757059@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ I believe that there is a family medical crisis they're going through, and all Bob & Betty's expansion, new openings, etc. have been put on hold for the time being.
