Kull you yourself have been very vocal on here with the mess on grand that is not the bus stop unless bus riders suddenly are bringing their cars and doing burnouts on grand. We all have eyes and see the chaos this place has been causing and didn't do a thing to discourage it.

Maybe they can learn from this and reopen somewhere close by.

To be fair, my main complaints are the constant closure of the stretch of Grand in front of T-Mobile Center, especially with the city reaping no financial reward for allowing a private company to close it and benefit themselves from it. It's idiotic to allow that.

My other complaints are certainly about the dumbasses who participate in illegal things up and down Grand, but especially in between the Traders on Grand/The Grand building and the T-Mobile Arena. That parking lot is my primary complaint, followed by the bus stop at 11th and Grand. Those two areas are the worst, with the Daq bar being in-between. That said, the idiots are the problem. Not the local business. I'm not going to blame the behavior of a bunch of idiots on local businesses. The solution is enforcing law, not closing businesses.

That place basically promoted hanging out and being the hub for people wanting to do those acts. Business definitely has a role in promoting or discouraging behavior outside their doors. Take recently closed Prime as a prime example. Another example would be how a gas station like QT completely shuts down activities that are common outside other convenience stores.

bummer, was kind of fun place, but very niche driven. Lasted about what? 7-8 yrs? Concept is valid, hope they either find a new spot or someone else gives it w whirl.

I got turned off by the place when they told us our kids had to be out of there by like 8pm, i get it, there is probably a rule by the city or state, since the place doesn't serve food its probably considered a bar but a place like this is great to introduce kiddos too, could only enjoy the place for like an hour on a friday night of a nearly empty place. Are kids allowed late at night at Dave and Busters, Bowling Alleys, Main Event, Movie Theaters that serve booze (Screenland) because they serve food?
