If I'm doing wifi in a bar, I need a chaperone so I don't tell people that I work with how stupid they are while on my corporate email. Or so I don't start shopping for shoes (or men) online whilst intoxicated.


and we need nice bartenders....even better if they are nice and cute...because then I will stay and drink more, more, more /

I can do that now....in my yard....you blog, I'll chaperone and flirt with cute bartenders while throwing my velcro darts.

I wonder if velcro darts would make good velcro hair curlers...hmmmm

Ok, I'll shutty now before I scare CurlyGreg from even opening

and i don't like darts, but i like other games. board games. though i've been advised not to play monopoly with other people on account of the fact, according to my brother, that i'm not all that fun to play with.

Oh, no, you di'int....have you seen the number of board games in my house? Next BBQ is going to include a throwdown in something - trivial pursuit, monopoly, scattergories....something.



I would love pub trivia though.

Ok, Greg's going to get a million suggestions. It all comes down to : don't make it suck

I love how you ignore that I'm going to give you a board game beat-down

as i mentioned, there are some people who won't play board games with me. there are reasons for this (like gloating and elation upon winning, which i always do)

yea the bar should have wifi and its own version of craigslist so the bar patrons can shop for each other online whilst drinking.

oh, and ping pong.

ooh even better a Wii!

curleygreg, can you share some pix with us? The windows are so well-draped with construction-grade paper, that you really can't peek in. That drives me nuts!

Curleygreg, do you expect this place to basically only be supported by people who live in Windsor Terrace & Park Slope? Or do you expect this to attract people who live in the Lower East Side, Williamsburg, etc, to take a trip down here?

I would also say "Ugh I hope not" to that!

It's anyone's guess how people in the hood will respond to our new place, but I'm hoping to strike the right chord with a good amount of them (can never make everyone happy). I personally have been living at the southern end of WT (5-6 yrs) and have always wanted another option as far as bars/restaurants go. And that video store is sooo perfectly suited for one... I'm really excited!

But that said, I'm a little superstitious about talking about it too much in a public forum such as this one... and I already fear I've jinxed the place to some degree. :shock: But all the feedback has been great and I thank everyone for chiming in!

Cheers,
Greg

that's pretty much at the top of the list for things to be superstitious about! what i can say is that we don't foresee too much difficulty with the build-out, we have a good crew/contractor and some experience doing this kind of thing... so, sometime this year?

yes, an update is in order...
work has been getting off the ground pretty s-l-o-w-l-y for the last month. all of the typical factors are to blame... DOB hoops to jump through, etc... but, starting this week, it's going to become more and more obvious that something is happening in there! and it'll all be happening faster, going forward.
that said, some things just take time (inspections, liquor licenses, thinking of a name, etc) and there's nothing anyone can really do to speed it up (especially the naming part).

Daily New picked up CurleyGreg's plans......a good Christmas present for us locals.
