The doorbell is still there but it doesn't work, push it for old times sake. Not part of a habit but with everybody looking for clean good drinks it will come soon. Guy charged me 3 or 4 per for my drinks,not bad.

I don't see myself going there anymore.

So sad, with multiple new places on Washington, none of which I find very appealing. I like the taps at the Commons, but not the crowd. Now what was a decent spot as Manhattans sound like another Plan B. I guess I'll be sticking to Vanderbilt and Underhill (and occasionally Flatbush- Sharlene's is also pretty good).

I sort of feel the same way about the crowd at Washington Commons. It's not bad per se, but something about it is just off putting and I can't put my finger on it.

Thanks for the update. I most certainly will enjoy. Funny, how this guy Tracy attributed his closure to investors, yet those same investors are willing to back another place. Good riddance to him! It'll be nice to patronize a bar that doesn't feel the need to hide from its customer base via a bell and newspapers!

I don't see why everything different has to be discouraged. Were you turned away from there or something? I only went there a couple times, but I thought the gimmick was kind of fun.

Anyways, here's to another bar with TV and sports...

you know who gets it right? franklin park. best bar in the entire damn world. washington commons is cool. i like soda ok and barrette was really nice. beast is still a good place to drop by. but cmon. franklin park? epic.

franklin park is overpriced and they need a pool table

I love seeing the hipsters play buck hunter, they point the rifle one centimeter away from the screen thinking that's going to improve their game.

Yeah, my big problem with Franklin Park—besides the lack of a pool table, as already mentioned—is their refusal to rotate their beers. Or even have them listed in a legible fashion. In the back room, on a dark night, it's next to impossible to tell what's on tap.

At least Washington Commons rotates their beers pretty regularly.

Met, If you see the rest of that sentence, you'd see I'm making fun of the hipsters you hate. Love = sarcasm in that sentence

[quote= sarcasm in that sentence

i realize that.

i wear levi's skinny jeans and listen to indie music (among other genres), so you would probably "hate" me if you saw me.

I have been mistakenly identified as a hipster on the street in an old thread here. PM me if you want the link.
