people that YELP are scumbags

the world needs more hipster studies

Only because the douchery serving our over-priced beers cared not what tip he made, he's in volume sales.

Most of the food coming out of the kitchen looked great and the beers are alsome, and I would go back, but the staff there - two more of which were rude and pretentious - prevent me from returning.

It really does all come down to 'guest-interaction'. If your POS (point of sale) staff really treat you like a POS (piece of shite) then you will have to rely on the hipster-douche clientele luckily and readily available in in hip and douchey Echo Park.

had no idea whiney wrote for yelp

This place is the epitome of a hipster hang out. Everyone in here looks exactly the same (guys with skinny jeans, fake glasses, facial hair, ect.) The menu was small and I could only find 1 thing that I would want to eat. Also the bar is very small and you are not allowed to sit anywhere else unless you have a reservation. And good luck with parking. I will not be returning.

Service was fine, not stand out in any way. Clientele was as anticipated- douchey hipster heaven. Space was not nearly amazing enough to compensate for crap food, and was pretty generic and lacking in style anyway. (Glossy plywood just doesn't blow me away.) I was so sad that we went all that way and didn't get to eat at Elf next door, which is easily a bazillion times better.

Oh, and my martini tasted like cheap olives. As both my spouse and SInead O'Connor say, you MB fans have got a solid case of the emperor's new clothes. Only it isn't the man who's naked, it's the poor low-quality ingredients.

owned

haha jesus

yes it's like people performing being knowing and with-it on the internet are super paranoid that all the other ppl around them are doing the same performance much more successfully. except they see through it all!!!!

?

The boy is drawn to hipster-douche vegans. I think he secretly wants to be one but settles for making fun of them instead. (By "making fun of" I mean he stares/gawks at them while drinking beer, wide-eyed, our own friends included, and then goes out and has a smoke. Every damn time.)

Aww well. Not all the customers are but the servers most definitely are. Its sort of like a free love environment. I thought we were all gonna take a bath together...

anyway in true hipster fashion, we shared a Red Rocket amber ale and it was so delicious we were air high fiving while planning our next outing to a Fiest concert! So good!

As both my spouse and SInead O'Connor say <<slick line

Anyway, we passed the time by trying to speak quietly (and failing due to the ever-increasing noise level as the place filled up) and, when that failed, hipster-watching. Lots of flannel shirts, skinny jeans, man-bags, messy hair and 1950's style eye-glasses. I couldn't care less about experiencing the "urban bohemian" vibe or whatever; I just want good food and craft beer in a nice setting.

sitting in silence, watching hipsters

It's a much hipper, classier place than I belong at, although the prices are reasonable. The boyfriend (almost the only man in the place not wearing ridiculously tight pants) and I approached the counter inside to put a name in, and then my t-shirt and ratty skirt came in handy: the owner saw my Derby Dolls shirt and struck up a conversation, and a few minutes later, he's telling the hostess that we're VIPs. We got seated at a table on the patio marked "reserved." Take THAT, hipsters who put effort into their outfits!

i have only had bad service a half-dozen times in my life ... but all of them were memorable enough that i wanted some recourse.

Once I wrote a negative yelp review, because service was so bad. it was a really nasty yelp excoriation. i got a haircut that made me look like a lesbian with down syndrome. at least that's what the OTHER BARBER at the place said, when they wrote me an email trying to fix the haircut. I didn't accept, and I didn't take down the review –– nor did I go back to yelp. Still kinda feel bad for it, but only a little.

i wrote an article for my zine called death of the hipster, check it yelpers shits over

'hipster' seems to be used in reviews to refer to any young people who began frequenting the place after the writer first visited

sifting through the reviews of this place is like the blood test from 'the thing', trying to figure out which non-hipsters are actually hipsters, because apparently only people are pretending not to be hipsters but actually are go here.

hipsters who fake not being hipsters are the worst

I stopped believing in hipsters but maybe that's the moment I became one

every time you say i dont believe in hipsters a hipster gets his skinny jeans

the loneliness of always hoping yr the coolest smartest person in the room

I'm also not a fan of a place that shamelessly panders to hipsters by putting dozens of old beer signs up for beer they don't serve. Seems like a desperate attempt at fitting in in the neighborhood.

So I visited here on the hunt for an 80s style formal dress for a halloween costume. This store was certainly the 80s dress jackpot. Especially if you were, say, a 26-28" waist. Which I am not. But they had 20 dresses in varying sizes and designs. I found that most of the dresses were measured in waist sizes, although a few of them were still item/brand sized. The measurements weren't entirely accurate, but I suppose they gave a ballpark estimate of whether a patron would or would not be able to wear it.

The prices were a little higher than some of the other shops that I visited (Blacklist, Rewind) but lower than others as well (Lulas, B-squad, Vias, ... and that other one on Selby, the name escapes me). I mean, thats ok, I'd still be purchasing a dress for fairly cheap. I can deal with that. But what really sort of ruined the experience for me was the staff. Ok, and maybe the ghetto-rigged fitting rooms. But mainly the staff (3.5 star review minus one for hipster workers). They completely ignored me even after I gushed a bit about our costume idea. The two or three of them were so busy talking to some guy that walked in, I ended up putting my own items back and getting new dresses myself. Struggling through the store with six dresses made of titanic sized portions of tulle, sequins, and taffeta. Then I got booted out of my fitting room that I had popped out of to renew my selection. That was pretty super too.

'Mkay, sorry that I wasn't cool enough to be all in on your conversation. But really, isn't the point of working at a store kind of to help the patron buy shit? Not to glare at them and whisper behind their back? I did not make a purchase here. They probably whispered even more after that. "OMG whos that mess with the LL Bean fleece? Thats so lame, my mother wears those." Sorry, I forgot my vintage whateverthefuckIshouldhavebeenwearing. I'll bring it next time. Maybe then I'll get some help.

thinking about this place makes me drool.

LIKES: Chicken and fries... whats there not to like?
DISLIKES: Parking maybe? Ghetto neighborhood?

I would give this place 3.5 stars. I think if it weren't so ghetto I would give it 4 stars. Yeah, that's right, I said it, ghetto.

There's a difference between hole in the wall and straight up ghetto. The difference is the safety of your life. Haha. I was a bit scared eating at Dinos. Even with my boyfriend, I was still a bit scared. And I'm not THAT big of a scare-dy cat!?

Dinos on Pico? Place is great, but it is kinda dicey tbh

I hate this way of referring to a s/o but think the rest of this paragraph is great.

i mean i understand how a dining experience can be bad but, like, a level-1-adult skill is to be able to not throw a tantrum about trivial shit.

well if you count "posting about it on the internet" as the equivilent to "throwing a tantrum" then let me point out that this thread has nearly 9,000 posts

Innocuous things that make you irrationally angry (a list thread)

the ralph's on glendale blvd near fletcher in silver lake is apparently "ghetto", according to some.

ilxing about shit is kinda like ranting to your bros, yelping about it is like filing an official complaint.

people who yelp are scumbags

people that* yelp

chaki took it to the next level by suggesting that they are objects

literally bags of scum

thread title has been irritating me, thought maybe if i corrected it in thread id feel better, but no some fn hipster has to roll up in his skinny jeans and harsh on me

this thread used to be cool, but ever since they changed the thread title it's just a hipster hangout, I'm taking my business to the other yelp thread where people don't ooze 'tudes of cool

my friend and i opted for the 16-course tasting with drinks pairing which turned out to be one drink for every course plates and since i'm asian, i'll do the math for you...that's 4 drinks.

totally disagree with this thread title change

yeah you can't fuck w/ classic thread titles, it's weird

WHAT THE FUCK WHO DID THIS

cmon mods

the usage mistake was what made it good for chrissakes

bad idea IMO

mods that change thread titles are scumbags

bring back the scumbags!

I had assumed this was some sort of daft parody thread and avoided opening it for a couple days.

the mods campaign to erase chaki from the ilx history books continues.

This thread is ghetto, but I do know the chef.

BOO

DON'T TREAD ON ME
