Every time we would come back from Vegas I'd end up taking my drink from Sips or Paddys upstairs or downstairs and I'd get yelled at by the bouncer. I never understood why people couldn't do that.
We walks around and asks how people are doing. It's one of those small things that makes you want to go there.
I freaking love the Ultra Lounge. Great "pre-bar" bar, cuz it's cheap. Get drunk at AJ's then go somewhere where there's more people.
ha ha, we might have worked together. i started working for andy doing construction for Sips when it first opened. fun times, then started working at Sips at that time. then went up to Paddy's when they expanded and opened both sides. those bathrooms have always been horrible. and they sucked to clean at the end of the night..
According to my roommate who works there, you will be able to do this without issue after re-opening. We will see, I guess. Paddy's Facebook page has some pictures up and I have seen some from my roomie. It's a legit remodel, not the bs that they've tried to pass as "remodels" over the past 6-7 years. If you've ever been to The Local in Minneapolis, it's the same group that did that place. I don't know any details about the bathrooms, but I assume they will be about 10x better than they were, which still wouldn't be saying much. The crappy DJ is gone as well. Sips is getting remodeled too, though I doubt to the same extent as Paddy's. And yes, that Daily article was garbage.
Personally, I wonder why they would be bringing in stuff from Ireland to Paddy's. Been awhile since I've been in college, but I don't remember any of the bars being "nice". And if they were, they were immediately trashed. What works for a college bar is "durable". You have to have stuff that can withstand getting spilled/puked on and is easily cleaned. I'm wondering if the ownership group actually realizes who their patrons are. That said, it's nice to see SOMEONE putting some money into Campustown.
I was at Es Tas during Veishea. It was no different than it was 5 years ago. So to say, AWESOME.
I DJ'd at Sips when Paddies opened, and worked the front door off and on. Did you bartend?
It would be an interesting debate, which bathroom was worse, Sips or Paddies.
Valid points. Regardless, I'm excited to see the finished product, even though I don't go to Campustown anymore unless it's football season. I was a regular there for years and it will be interesting to see that bar meet its full potential after a decade of being a dump. To be honest, I'm mainly excited to see it w/o a crappy drop ceiling.
Im just happy they arn't sticking with the status quo. A change has been needed for a long time now. I will miss sticking to the floor when I walked in though. We stupidly had our grad party there a couple years ago. Every single mom that walked in was absolutely reviled by the place. Rightfully so. They didnt try too hard cleaning up from the night before.
Now let's see how the Element/Big Shots/Whatever the hell else its been called remodel will turn out. Anyone heard anymore news on that?
Walked past it every day this summer. For sale sign has been up every day. Doors still chained up, and presumably no work being done on the inside. Has someone bought it? Crazy how it has been closed for so long, that is some prime real estate.
Did you have to wreck our morning. That bathroom place was a pit. The National park Service presented better bathrooms.
Reason I'm asking is because of this thread.
