Cool, but ....
|
|
|
My only feedback is it's not close enough for me to walk to. :) But it sounds great. I am officially jealous. Now if someone would just open a bar around MLK and Madison! Three French restaurants are great and all, but sometimes you just need a beer ...

What about the bottleneck?
|
|
|
Sure, it's a few blocks uphill from MLK & Madison, but that means your walk home is all downhill...

you should do a zen and zine package with Samarya..like, take a yoga class and bring the receipt in for a $2 glass of wine:-)
kidding aside, love the space and glad to see that interesting block of yesler getting some investment. |

I hope it's nicer than the Twilight and perhaps less attractive to the ironic 20-something set. Also, I hope it does not contain a toddler's play area. :)

Welcome
|
|
|
I think that's /great/. I like Twilight but the crowd can be a little too precious for this 30-something.
Only question: who wants and is around for a drink or sandwich at 4 in the afternoon? Upstart businesses in the CD don't seem to cater to the hours of working folks (witness Mezza Luna). If you go to the trouble of a full bar I'd think you'd see plenty of business past 10pm - if that's the kind of business you want. Good luck! |

RE: Welcome

It will just be a matter of seeing how things go. All-Purpose is in a section of Leschi that dies around 9pm (which after being open for lunch and later on weekends I switched the hours to daily 4-9pm).
For 19, We will play the hours of operation by ear in the beginning and if the demand is there, we will remain open later!! So excited - now just all the permitting and licensing hurdles.... Kedra |

I hope you serve coffee and tea late as well, I will be living on 16th and yesler and would love that to become a new hangout for me in the evenings (not a big bar drinker!).

What else?
|
|
|
Can you have a very large selection of beers on tap to include cask beer and English cider (strongbow, bulmers, etc.on tap). And while I am at it how about chairs and tables on the sidewalk in summer?

RE: What else?
|
|

Our plan is to have 12 beers on tap (5 "popular" (mannys, hales, maritime, pliny, PBR/Bud) and 7 not so popular in rotation).
We plan to do beer tastings too (maybe beer/food parings!?) The space is small, so it will be a cozy joint - I think our max seating will fall under 40 people... I can't do it now, but I plan to apply for a outdoor permit - there are a lot of limitation with the city and ADA regulations so I am not sure what will work for that area just yet...!! |

Wow, kedra, that sounds so lovely. I second the suggestion to have some kind of cider on tap - I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I love hard cider!

We will try it
|
|

Great to see an much needed establishment being set up close by. We will definetely give it a shot and be supportive. We live right down the road of APP and also support that. Wondering if you considered the commercial space in those new apartment buildings on Jackson and 18th or 19th(?) with the "Wonder Bread" sign on the top? If so, why did the Yesler location win out? Are the Jackson spaces over priced?

The building is a live/work and we plan to live above that is why we chose that location!

BEST NEWS ALL DAY
|
|
|
this is very exciting! i for one am planning on becoming a regular and working towards a plaque with my name on it at the bar...
Seriously, this area lacks in neighborhood bars, so I'm all in for doing my part when you guys open. How great will it be to get good coffee at Soho Coffee Company (20th & Yesler) then head over for beer! |

TV
|
|

Is there going to be a TV at the bar? I don't like it when the TV is left on all the time but I like it when bars have TV for big events like Baseball playoffs and elections.

Yea! About Time!

This bar will do well, I live in the immediate area and talk with neighbors often about how we need a place for drinks and eats. I have also thought about opening a place and doing the same thing with local not so known brews/wines with food pairings, you should get a good loyal following from promoting them. You could also cater to the PRAT Art Center for art showings etc, artists like to eat and drink. Really excited! I will be a regular. Location is killer with all the apartments/condos nearing completion, not to mention there is a bus stop right out front. Hurry up with those permits, I'm thirsty!

How fancy is it going to be?
Can you give an example of the types of eats there will be? It's going to be quite a culture clash |

I work at 23rd and Jackson, and I am sick to death of Taco Del Mar and our other very limited options.

How about an Ad for this?
|
|
|
Congrats on the new venture but I hope we learn more via channels I learned about through another CDN story.
"And remember that advertising is what keeps your favorite indie site in business. Anyone can advertise on CDNews, and reach thousands of people right near them, for as low as $2.50 a day." Has there ever been an APP ad here? |

I am sooo excited! Finally a bar that takes less than 15 minutes for me to walk to. I've been missing having bars so close since I moved off the hill last summer. I'm very happy to hear about his place opening. Thanks!
