Wow… 20 years for the bar (with two Ls) at 141 Avenue A at East Ninth Street…

Doc Holliday's and Lucy nearby should get an award for hanging in the 'hood so long when so many other old-school joints have hit the dust. Raise a glass.
I'm wondering when David McWater will sell it to some d-bags like he did NIce Guy Eddies. Then we can have another place for the "EV Rich and Famous" to hang out.
Ugh. Hate this place. It is not old school, when it opened it was a lousy neighbor and it has stayed a lousy neighbor. The few improvements it has shown over the years are due to pressure from the block.
And fuck "pioneers". There was a functioning pharmacy in this space before the yuppie bistro that was called Tompkins Square Pharmacy. We could still use a pharmacy in the area, but it couldn't pay the same rent, I assume.

I still miss the restaurant that was there before Doc's. Nice place, and much more of a pioneer than Doc's, classier, too.
@John M, The Pharmacy, one of the first new businesses to open on Avenue A in the early 1980s. Yeah, that was a nice place...
It's weird that the bar itself still isn't old enough to drink.

He will sell. His price is $350k for the liquor license. His soul has been sold so you can't have that.
