can we drink at daddy's tomorrow night?

all is forgiven

NO.

First and last time anyone will say so!

from the email box:

Hey, Jon,
I went out for drinks with YYYYY & the XXXXX crew but I'm guessing it wasn't the same place you went. (Hopefully yours was better--"Daddy's" was strictly squaresville--like, guys who looked like Loggins and Messina playing feelgood records from the 70s and a kind of sports bar ambience.)

hehe

I wd be that person's friend, maybe.

NB: I invited out jorel hunter that night but he didnt go to daddys

Laurel, he is a bro.

you wanted to go to legion, dude.

I was at daddys and left

daddys sucks most nights now.
controversial?

legion was kinda terrible(good company tho)

What was wrong with Legion? The quality of the DJing has dropped a lot as of late but then again you guys just want to hear creedence and go home.....

Maybe someone will come dancing with me tomorrow

I want to drink at places where people go to drink, not to see and be seen & talk to the bartender for 10 minutes while I'm trying to get a drink at a bar that's not even busy.

Which is also the bartender's fault, mind you.

Gather! Make merry! But pls remember that the primary function of a BAR is to serve DRINKS.

also it was just a big ugly room painted black and decorated with ugly ikea fixtures...shooting for "hip" and "austere" and missing the mark with just lookin cheap. i would take a plain old dive over one with pretensions of coolness any day.

Laurel, this is your stock complaint. Find one new thing to hate about Daddy's, kthx. Like that they won't let you smoke weed on the patio.

harefield road is nice and homey, fake irish bar, you can smoke weed out back. wayyyyyyyy better than legion.

Actually I was complaining about Legion this time! :D It took so long to get served last time that everyone was leaving by the time my tequila came.

i'd rather drink at the roebling tea room than almost anywhere else in williamsburg. good music (albeit from an ipod), spacious, rarely crowded, and BEER & BRATWURST SPECIAL.

I don't think it looks austere at all! Its not THAT pricey anyway

harefield rd is a sports bar for hipsters and the brunch sucks

roebling tea room is kind of a pricey date (rip catwon ;_;)

you guys have weird opinions! except for laurel who is predictable

legion was also giving me haircut anxiety. i like bars where i don't feel like a tool going in my dorky work clothes.

it's hilarious that anybody thinks anything has actually changed at daddy's over the past 5 years.

Also daddy's is full of people who don't like it when we play photo hunt

Tuesday might be only night I'm free this week, so where duz we drink?

i like drinking at a place where all u gotta do is buy the bartender some thai food and you get free drinks for you and a friend all night.

xp
i'm not sayin you gotta eat dinner, hipstere; most of their beer is $5 and it's a nice environment.

xp AGAIN to hstencil:
MORE CROWDED = LESS FUN;.

also it's hilarious that going out to drink causes y'all so much anxiety.

I have seen one good "DJ" (aka record picker) at daddy's ever.

I've started to get buybacks though

morbs i'd be up for drinking tomorrow night.

also it's hilarious that going out to drink causes y'all so much anxiety.

you forgot this place is a social anxiety disorder support page

I kinda wanna swing by @rtl@nd to say hi to the v v good dj

I've never had a drink at Roebling tea room, but I would! I had shitty service when I had dinner

yeah i got lost on the way to the drunkard support page.

I'm not anxious. I just refuse to go back to Daddy's. Also I dislike it when the bartender's main job doesn't seem to be serving people alcohol. Being an awesome hipster and posing behind the bar might be what they pay you for in Wburg but it's not a vote of confidence for me.

k stenc, email me if we don't reach consensus here (WHAT'RE THE ODDS)

maybe you just need to be more conspicuous, laurel? i've never had a problem getting served there.

daddy's or somewhere around there would actually best for me, morbs, since i shouldn't go too far away from the dog.

You sound like Dr. Morbius re 77BOADRUM!

What about ARTLAND joel

THEY HAVE A NICE DOOR FOR SMOKERS AND POOL AND BUDS AND THE DJ IS A BRO-ESS

artland also has theater of magic, which is nice. but it doesn't have draft beer. but i'd probably go there too.

Oh, I'm busy on Tuesdays.

also it's hilarious that going out to drink causes y'all so much anxiety.

^^^

TOMORROW IS "GIRL'S NIGHT" HALF PRICE DRINX FOR LADIES.

AKA LAUREL FUNNEL ME DRINKS

Did this with Petra, rad time

Guess what bar I ended up at on saturday guys?

anyways, i haven't really had problems getting served at daddy's, the main problems are that it gets really really crowded fridays/saturdays and the fear of running into exes amirite

daddys is full of people who bum smokes and steal chairs too

if you're afraid of running into exes, don't leave the house.

it never seems to be a problem other places. just for some reason daddy's is dating catastrophes ground zero

if you're afraid of running into exes, don't leave the house.

I know someone who does this!

it's sad that the noize bored is so afraid of living these days.

I think my closest exes (more than 4 dates) are in San Francisco and Germany. so I'm good!

ok it is decided:

daddys tomorrow night
then artland later

I know I'm late to the party: I hate Daddys

morbs, <3 <3 <3

would legion be better? Joel is OUR GUEST so I say we let him pick

but he wants to go to daddy's for OLD TIME'S SAKE

jeez, morbs.

weekdays at daddy's are fine guys

sayin'.

god this griping will never go away, will it?

hell, i dont like real crowded places either..but, weekdays there are fine...plenty of seats and attentive bartenders last night. i mean, even I! had to wait for the 3 people in front of me for a single beer

I don't mind drinking there at Daddys, really, if enough of you form a protective shield around me.

listen, you can always get drunk and go to the metro

yeah just think of it as pre-gaming for metro, morbs.

NB: I am the "brother" of a regular at metro and people frequently ask me for him!

OMG I HAVE A GAY FRIENDS TOO!!!!!

I've never seen you hang out at a gay bar, homophobe.

Yes, that surely makes me a homophobe. You're right.

you guys can both love gay dudes equally

Ben, my gripe with Daddy's is more like:

* 2 or 3 female bartenders twisting their toes into the floor at the back wall, chatting, while people crowd up to be served.
* slow moving like molasses, generally supah inefficient -- like, you'd get fired from a kitchen for moving one lemon wedge at a time, but at Daddy's it's like they're sleepwalking to the margarita machine.
* bartender looks me in the eye, turns away to serve other side of bar, comes back and serves a guy next to me who wasn't there before, and guy not only does not say "she was here first" but actually nudges me out of the way so he can lean on the bar. Bad manners all 'round.

wait, I think Tuesday might be lez night at Metrop

I seem to vaguely recall that it might be karaoke night?

My problem with Laurel:

repeats herself

Boy, how annoying! Good thing we don't know anyone else who does that.

maybe the bartenders overheard you repeat yourself?

JUST KEEEEEDING

Ooh how astute. See you next time you want to drink somewhere that I want to be, then.

kids, play nicely and fetch your daddy a beer.

http://www.bookcase.com/~claudia/mt/archives/CalvinHobbes.jpg

jesus christ. you guys are a bunch of yentas.

laurel,

ive always seen yr points re: the clubhouse...i just think its hilarious that this same argument always comes up...i guess my thinking is, if thats where someone wants to be, for whatever reason, then everyone has the option of going or not. no sense in this constant retreading of (legitimate for some/most) gripes. that place isnt about to change. too bad, i guess, as id like to catch you one of these nb drinks nights...

and jon..quittit with the pot/kettle biznez...

That reminds me that I did once see a 5-yr old try to give his mother a beer at a rugby game. He went to the cooler and got it and brought it back to her and said "HERE MAMA. YOU WANT A BEER?" and she was like "Oh, haha, um, THANK you, Charlie, but Mama's not drinking today! Mama has to drive, so put that back, okay?" "BUT MAMA, I HAVE TO GET YOU A BEER" "Er, yes, sweetheart, but not today. Give that back to the nice lady." Etc. Good times.

i want to adopt that child. or, more to the point, i want to adopt his cooler.

just marry his mom = triple play

reasons for having a baby: table service, not tip required

just marry his mom = triple play

yeah, i want to get involved with a woman who, apparently, had a kid just so she could train it to get her beers. while admirable, there's only room for one of those types in a relationship.

so what time you wanna start?

never

930

anyone else?

not laurel

hbourbon?

shall I just go home and watch Casino Royale?

i'll be there around 9ish, maybe before.

k!

next time i'm in nyc i wanna go to daddy's to see if it's actually that bad. someone give me an excuse to visit before spring.

Laurel is single

ok im there

damn jw

bcz it's winter in Chicago?

Mad pimpin skillz right there

i think i heard laurel won't go to daddy's. tombotm, it's my catchall excuse for nearly everything i do between november and april.

er, morbs is otm. gotta get my peepers checked, my body is RAPIDLY declining in my old age.

MEGALOLS

http://gridskipper.com/travel/new-york/the-worst-bartenders-in-brooklyn-327891.php

it's funny mostly because daddy's doesn't serve pbr.

combines jon's and laurel's complaints wow!

i like pretty much all of the daddy's bartenders (unless they've fired everyone and brought in a bunch of new ones in the last 3 months or so)

I'm going to have to revise my yelp review

lol @ that article complaining about the quality of bartending at the fucking turkey nest of all places

so much o_O

so much bullshit.

I got a buy back at Daddy's the other night.

I went to "a bar" with a bunch of UK kids last night. One of them hurled inside the bar and then right out in front. Then we got busted smoking a j outside. I'm not so sure I want to show my face there for a while. :(((((( so sad!

also suited guidos at happy hour do not like Grandmaster Flash.

it's a jungle sometimes

it struck me, after seeing that bit yesterday, that perhaps the problem is that too many people, notincluding laurel, consider daddy's to be something other than a local bar. its not meant to be a fucking hotspot! and the service you get at daddy's is on par with any local place. hang out and get to know people and you wont have a problem (save on weekend nights when all those nonlocals and "goin out tonight" folks turn round)

and no, never served the PBR. stopped serving bk lager when bk brewery supported big development in dwntown bk. do not have the makings for apple martinis. no jaegermeister. as it was xplained to me a long time ago, the policy was to just have regular drinks and to not cater to children and nightlife sorts of crowds that want cheap beer and gross shit that leads to vomiting and idiocy.

i saw sD get some fine service there the other day.

not cater to children <--- lol

BTW, I have found the ultimate bar for 19 year olds in Williamsburg -- TEH LAZY CATFISH!

i got kicked out of zablowskis the other day cos i didn't have my id. they also carded DR MORBIUS.

xp: Didn't I pour my final birthday drink on the ground in that place?

I believe we were at somewhere near Luna Lounge?

They have good (but $) internet jukebox. The back room is ok if you want to take over a big booth and drink shitty beer and watch yr friends play Shoot Da Buckz

The back room is ok if you want to take over a big booth

^^ In every bar ever...

I'm always thrilled to be nostalgically carded

internet jukeboxes are crazy expensive

Polly is one of the few people who called me "danny" because she grew up in a town near me and was friends with my little cousin, who always called referred to me as "my cousin danny" and she recognized me as his cousin at some !!! show or something years ago.

Aw! After I stopped going in on the reg I was there for the first time in like 6 months and John remembered me as a former happy hour regular. Then I saw him on the street in midtown and he said hi by name. Impressive! Once we watched Oprah at like 4am lol.

i am djing at daddy's tonight.

nice. what kinda stuff did you play? I don't think I've been to Daddy's since your bachelor party.

dammit boy, ya gotta give longer notice

oh I saw your post on ILV. curious what song you played off Mirror Ball, lol. I'm the Ocean? (xp)

one time I was at Daddy's with ILX0R SL33P and a request for the bartender to put on some Neil was rejected on the grounds that it's "too depressing" ;__;

lol yes i played i'm the ocean because i needed to pee

i also played a lot of soul 45s and psych and whatever records.
it was last minute, got a text mid-afternoon, sorry bill
