Nearly too dark to read the menu, realized that all their emphasis was on cocktails. Food we got was good, but, designed to be appetizers while people drank very fancy 'artisanal' alcoholic things. I think Bistrouge did the fancy cocktail thing better and I too miss the thai place that used to be there before Orologico. (I never really liked that place, always had some weird thing with the staff and I *rarely* have complaints about staff!)<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-43122408855876157632013-11-01T13:28:37.767-04:002013-11-01T13:28:37.767-04:00I was counting down the days of this slaughterhous...I was counting down the days of this slaughterhouses demise since the moment I first heard about it's menu.

I knew ...Fuck them and their pretentious ass place! I knew from day 1 that these West Coast NYC wannabes were going to fail hard! They knew nothing of the neighborhood or what they were doing. The whole "Cocktail" thing has completely become stupid with too many of these annoying, super pretentious, Kardashian like self-promoting dipshits pretending to be cool. It's one big continuous circle jerk of self-promoting goobers! There are some great cocktail bars in NYC but most of the ones that have opened around the East Village ad nauseum recently are ripoffs of the real things. The conformity of these places is amazing from the sameness of all of them. The goofy facial, hair with the lame tattoos, the vests with ties etc, the Up With People fake sincerity, nothing new there fellas! The East Village is about uniqueness, authenticity, not McPeople who dress and act like they are supposed to. Be real here folks and you might succeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-15912352179543823192013-10-31T18:30:13.322-04:002013-10-31T18:30:13.322-04:00They were lying pieces of shit who said, to my fac...They were lying pieces of shit who said, to my face, several times -- we will never become a bar. They are from Oregon with zero knowledge of the neighborhood. Their arc of failure went exactly as predicted. Of course they sold their liquor license, that's where the money is, when you can profit from a state sponsored license. Imagine if the state sold the liquor licenses at market rate, maybe we could lower the sales tax.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362859175287085919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-81606151850333305302013-10-31T10:38:44.630-04:002013-10-31T10:38:44.630-04:00Great cocktails, I used to go there every now and ...Great cocktails, I used to go there every now and then because it was chill and the staff was always super nice. But I don't think alphabet city needs more cocktail bars. Just go a couple avenues east and there are 5 places just like The Beagle.

I only saw someone drunk once in the place and the staff refused to serve him... I have been in the area for twenty years and found this place a great addition to the area.<br /> I guess we now have a lot more places that are less "pretentious" that will better serve our community needs.
