Anyway, they rethought that decision... and the two-level sports bar is now going as the Ugly Duckling (same ownership).
The Brazen Fox closed during the pandemic after nearly seven years in business.

Simply hideous
ReplyDeleteWow no. no no no.
ReplyDeleteSo it's not just a clever name.
ReplyDeleteyears ago there was a sushi restaurant at that location… can’t remember the name
ReplyDeleteDidn't mind the food at B.F., Penny Farthing was/is much better though. Did like that small out door seating area on the second floor, in the back... especially if it was not a super crazy sports day.
ReplyDeleteCool place but only when not crowded
ReplyDelete@ronnie Friend House was there for a while after moving from across the street. I think they changed their name 1/2 way through their stint there. They had great, reasonable sushi.
ReplyDeleteyes, Friend House! very good sushi
DeleteIt looks like they exist outside of the city (much like BF did): https://www.theuglyducklinglb.com/
ReplyDeleteCorny name and corny sign.
ReplyDeleteWell, "ugly" is right, alas.
ReplyDeleteThis just wreaks of “Santa Con”!!! 🤦🏼♂️
ReplyDeleteJust in time!!! Hahahah
Deleteaptly named this location has been lame for so long it's grandfathered in
ReplyDeleteIf I owned a restaurant, I wouldn't call it the "Ugly" anything. I live nearby, prob won't go.
ReplyDeleteWell, truth in advertising, at least. This location had more credibility when it actually WAS a dive bar named the Dugout Tavern (longer ago than most of you can remember!).
ReplyDeleteThat was when it was not considered trendy to be a loud obnoxious drunk; back then people with a drinking problem did not brag about it, as today's bro's do.
I thought the Dugout was next door … it later became the Pit Stop, Looking Glass and Finnertys … and the building was torn down to make way for the glassy 110 3rd Ave condo
DeleteThe Dugout wasn’t on the corner!!
DeleteYep, the Dugout was next door, til it was um, dug up.
DeleteThat sign is so ugly it makes the multicolored Funkiberry sign look like a work of modern art.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, a few blocks north on 3rd Avenue, Tivoli Diner on 22nd St has a sign up in the window that they are closing as of tomorrow, October 5th. That makes at least 3 diners lost during the pandemic, including Odessa and Good Stuff Diner on 14th St.
Birds of a feather Flock together Ha ha 🐤🐤🐤🐣🐣🐣🐥🐥🐥
ReplyDeleteThis is a joke, right? Please say yes
ReplyDeleteThe Dugout: where the under-age me could get a frosty mug. Good times.
ReplyDeleteWhat did people think this place was going to be? Of course it was going to be a bar/sports bar. Deal with it.
ReplyDeleteI miss the Friend House restaurants that were both right in this area, particularly the one with the back garden. Lot of good food and memories there.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated, why on earth would someone name a sports bar Ugly Duckling? I feel stupid typing the name let alone saying, 'hey man, let's grab a drink at the Ugly Duckling tonight.' Also, why is the duck missing the top of his skull? And his body??
So many questions I have....
