I guarantee that I will win that contest.

...that could happen very soon. PM me if you are serious.

Subject: From "Prospect Pond"

Hey ya'll, this is Sam the manager over at Prospect Pond. Just wanted to jump on here and give a friendly hello to everybody. Sorry to you guys who loved Manhattans and the grime, but it was just not the right bar for the neighborhood. Now we really want to be a bar where everybody feels welcome. Yes we have two tv's but i only put sports on one of them. The other I try to keep on bad movies. If I can manage it I want to start doing bad movie nights and maybe get a projection screen TV. Also, Im just started looking for some bands to play in here. Don't worry neighbors we'll keep the back door closed (that was an oversight). And if need be we'll sound proof the back door too!
Really, I want this to be a come as you are bar. I have no basement, so until i can afford some major remodeling there will be only one tap, but it will remain PBR and stay 3$ a pint, 10$ for a pitcher. As for the bars direction that has yet to really be determined. Cheep, friendly, and clean is my business model. This is first bar i've managed so we'll see where it goes. Getting a shipment of 151 in today though, and gonna start doing lots of flaming drinks, so stop by for that tonight if you wish. And always please feel free to tell me what you think.

Respectfully

SAM

PS: We are looking for Musicians and performing artists right now who want exposure of you know anyone who is interested let them know they are free to e-mail me: <rockclimbersam>

Cheers!

Wow, a bar manager who not only avoids excluding others via buzzer, but who also posts a friendly message on a neighborhood board and invites input from the community. Sounds like a straightforward business move that other bar owners have missed.

Ugh. You can have him and his flaming shots all to yourself. After all, it's the "right bar for the neighborhood."

I always appreciate when local business owners come on these boards and speak as themselves rather than trying to masquerade as a patron and shill. So while I admit there are a lot of red flags, I'm going to reserve judgment until I go check it out myself. It can't be worse than the horrendous bar in Bay Ridge that I got dragged to last night.

Been there twice- It's as boring as a nursing home.
I think I would have rather been in a nursing home than that bar I was at last night. Bay Ridge is so lame.

That's for posting Sam, I second that it is always great when a owner comes in and welcomes the nabe and this message board. Much luck to you

^

Wow, that's great. Previous incarnations of bars in that space used to have the door open all the time. Really nice to see the new place being so considerate. Thanks, Sam!

I agree that this place is great -- Sam is super friendly and every time we go we end up talking to him as much as the friends we're there with. Drinks are cheap and the place is really chill. I really enjoy my time there every time we go.

All the staff are nice and the happy hours are friendly to your wallet. They have made a real effort to clean up.

Correct, Eves 3. Each of them was present at the CB 8 Economic Development Committee meeting at the Center for Nursing and Rehab (Classon bet. Park place and Prospect Plasce.) They're applying for a liquor permit. All black females who've retired from their respective jobs and have known each other for 30 years.

Some like they plan some fun stuff for their early retirement.

Still haven't noticed them being open yet, but I did spy a new awning up for "Eves". Hopefully they'll be up an running soon. Anyone know more?
