The open facade brings the party to the streets, attracts passers by and brings more people into their establishments. Music is cranked to create excitement and get noticed for blocks around. Bar owners which choose this way of doing business really don't care about their neighbors plain and simple. We that live nearby suffer why they make money and enemies with the neighborhood. People that defends this kind of place should admit they are friends or investors in them or worse could really care less about those that live in earshot.

A small group of residents did, but without more people they were not able to stop this sale so . . .if you have concerns about a bar or restaurant on your block opening or not adhering to hours etc, contact CB 3 and attend a hearing or register a complaint. if enough people act then CB 3 will act, but if people don't take the time to attend meetings, write letters or contact the office then they won't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-90728772316363114312015-03-31T11:41:51.721-04:002015-03-31T11:41:51.721-04:00Please stop shilling, shillers.

Boring, predictable, most of their items are available at nearby established haunts. That said, Destination Bar needed some love. It failed at that "rough on the edges dive bar cool whatever" aesthetic for me and wasn't that appealing to hang out in. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
