J. Blacks

Who is the guy with the hound dog?

Hound dog or some other breed, but he seemed to know his way around the place.

Friendly dog btw.
 
I stopped in last night to have a beer after the Mother Egan's trivia night. It's a nice place. More on the upscale side. Crowd was more the professional type and it looked like quite a few first dates going on.

Positives: very good air conditioning. i love the layout of the bar. menu looked good but I didn't try anything. bartenders were nice and helpful. TVs and lounge area were very nice.

Negatives: valet parking? that right there will draw the douchebag crowd. plus it takes up parking spaces on the street. the bathroom was out of towels. fireman's 4 is good but the place needs sierra nevada or bass/guiness.

Overall it's a nice place and will do well. Congrats.
 
1. Douchebags don't search out valets. Cheapasses avoid them. You weren't going to get that spot anyway, so pay or walk.

2. That chick is hot. Lots of hot.
 
Well she wasn't working last night. Both bartenders were male, too.

I've had too many friends get their cars broken into when they valet park so I don't trust them. I also find a nice walk after a few beers before getting behind the wheel is a good thing.

Yea, I'm cheap too.
 
The wife and I went last night and really enjoyed it. The food was really good and the prices were reasonable. And our waitress was very helpful (and attractive).
 
2 Things:

Who's J. Black? How'd you'd arrive @ that name?

With all this talk of appearance, I'm nervous to show up. Would a dude sporting a belly chain fell out of place?
 
I started my night there last night. Had the greek pizza and some drinks. And shots. And shots. Nice selection of beetches and I know half of the barstaff (lots of musicians, well done).
 
Went by on Fri night. Cool setup. Loved the leather wall. Too packed to really enjoy the place, but the drinks were strong and service as fast as could be expected. I'm looking forward to coming back early on a weeknight for some grub on the patio.

Note to P/C and UH - on the West wall, you have several shelves for drinks (I guess they would be called). The one farthest from the front door that is about a foot lower than the other two is going to get ripped right off the wall by the first drunk who thinks it's a good place to sit. I was almost that guy Fri night. It should be funny to watch, but it will suck to fix.
 
Yeah - I figured that's what it was for. Just thought you might want to put a brace or something like that under there.

I've never seen more **** broken in one night than we had about 2 weeks ago w/ a big corporate party on a Monday night. No one was even really "drunk." Just a bunch of developer types who clearly weren't used to being out in public.

Went there for my law school shindig tonight. We packed the place. I should get a cut of tonight's receipts, especially after the mother of all cockblocks.

So while we're there Matthew McConneghey and Lance Armstrong show up, and pretty much ruin any game any other guy in the entire bar has. And to top it all off... the girl I was talking to ended up leaving with them.

I wish I was joking.
 
Just let the girls know that Matt smells bad and that Lance is a uniballer. Game back on.

Baby, baby, I've been so sad since you've been gone
Way back to New York City
Where you do belong
Honey, I missed your two-tone kisses
Legs wrapped around me tight
If I ever get back to Fun City, girl
I'm gonna make you scream all night

Honey, honey, call me on the telephone
I know you're movin' out to Hollywood
With your can of tasty foam
All those beat up friends of mine
Got to get you in their books
And lead guitars and movie stars
Get their tongues beneath your hood

Yeah! You're a star ******, star ******, star ******, star ******, star
Yeah, a star ******, star ******, star ******, star ******, star
A star ******, star ******, star ******, star ****** star

Yeah, I heard about you Polaroid's
Now that's what I call obscene
Your tricks with fruit was kind a cute
I bet you keep your ***** clean
Honey, I miss your two tone kisses
Legs wrapped around me tight
If I ever get back to New York, girl
Gonna make you scream all night

Yeah! You're a star ******, star ******, star ******, star ******, star
Yeah, a star ******, star ******, star ******, star ******, star
A star ******, star ******, star ******, star ****** star

Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you
For givin' head to Steve McQueen
Yeah, and me we made a pretty pair
Fallin' through the Silver Screen
Honey, I'm open to anything
I don't know where to draw the line
Yeah, I'll make bets that you're gonna get
John Wayne before he dies

Yeah! You're a star ******, star ******, star ******, star ******, star
Yeah, a star ******, star ******, star ******, star ******, star
A star ******, star ******, star ******, star ****** star
Yes you are
A star ******, star ******, star ******, star ****** star
 
The other night, I had a firend the other night tell me about this totally awesome bar with a ton of hot chicks. He told me it was called J. Blacks. I laughed.
 
Back to the valet parking rant: now you guys have commandeered practically the whole north side of 6th street for your valet parking stand. Why do you need to remove 10 parking meters from the public on a slow Tuesday night? I accept that fact that your stuffed-shirt customers don't want to get their $200 jeans dirty by walking a few blocks but do you have to destroy the neighborhood by turning the whole area into a valet parking zone?
 
In that case I am also outraged about this whole parking deal, even though I can walk 1/4 mile to get there from home, I am pissed.
 
my friends and i have been vexed over the valet parking situation for the last few weeks as well.

btw, $220 jeans are for schmucks... link
