    I’ve always regretted not going 2015-ish when they had Goose Island’s vanilla rye on tap.

    Damn. Great place. Lots of horrible first dates there circa 2012.

    Wonder what this means for the Knitting Factory.

    Some good shows upstairs at the federal and they made a nice old fashioned. Drinks were pretty strong as I recall.

    Wow, I feel old. I lived in Noho when it opened and it was kinda the first “hip” place in the area, ushering in the transformation to what the Noho arts district is today.

    that entire block got greenlit for new construction.

    sad to see it go.

    I used to get blacked out here every weekend at their bottomless brunch. Good times, sad to see it go

    Moved to NoHo a few years ago and just never got around to checking it out since I don’t really drink anymore. I do hear they had good food so maybe I’ll sneak in before they close

    Damn im transplant that moved to noho in 2013. Been there many many times. Sad.
    I attended the twin peaks (2017) wrap party there. It was upstairs. I’ll never forget seeing David Lynch and Harry Dean Stanton sitting together on the patio smoking cigs.

    This was a big spot for me when I first moved to LA in 2016. Felt like “the nice place” in the Arts District. Where you’d go after you saw someone throw up/get punched in the face at Big Wangs or El Tejano.
