Closed Bars and Restaurants
Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
Speaking of sorely missed midtown dive bars, Kenny's News Room had to be among the diveyest dive of the dives. I once got into a wrestling match outside in the rain there over a Bob Marley song. Good times. I was surprised to go back in this thread and not see it mentioned around the time it happened a few years ago.
Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
It was such big news, it had its own thread.

Coincidentally, the gay sports bar, Out of Bounds, was also "closed" in the Kenny's thread - and now the bar that replaced the bar that replaced Kenny's is a gay sports bar.

Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
Ah. Must have missed that thread at the time.
Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
Out of Bounds was further north, now the Scandinavian restaurant.
Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
I know. Its closing was just referenced in the Kenny's thread. Sorry. That was probably confusing.

The old Velvet Dog Eastern-Euro vampire coven aura is wiped out, interior too sanitized now.

Pizza Bella closes, I'll admit to only eating there once.
Easy to blame Papa Keno's, but they closed their Mission Farms location last year.

Loved P.B.....but always seemed half assed service there...someone could buy this place and reboot it easily and it would succeed.

Concur. It had been in a slide for a while.

Pizzabella holds the honor of being the only restaurant I've walked out of after being seated. It was a slow weekday evening; the servers and the host were all talking to each other and completely forgot about our table, so...after 20 minutes, we left.

Have been hearing similar stories from a few people lately. It really is too bad.
Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
I ate there a bunch of times shortly after they opened. I thought it was quite good at the time, although it's no surprise that it trended downward after Dalzell got run out of town. My sole (relatively) recent visit wasn't terrible, but wasn't really up to par either. Too bad.

Agreed. Went all the time many years ago, and enjoyed it. And thanks for bringing up Dalzell - I also liked ChefBurger, Souperman and 1924 at the time. Quite the mini restaurant empire before all the drama hit. Too bad indeed.
EDIT: AND special shout out to Magazines & Coffee, formerly next to Souperman. Absolutely loved that little space and concept; curious if such a place would be successful with all of the additional development in Xroads since...

Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
I miss the veggie burger at Chefburger. It was the only one I'd consider ordering, and I probably got it more than regular burgers there.
As for PB, it has been rudderless for a while, surviving with zero marketing/promotion/modification to the menu as one of the only pizza joints of its kind in the metro. Il Lazzarone upped the ante, and PB was really just surviving based off location and the beautiful tall windows. Some new blood could really enhance this stretch of the neighborhood.
