New location, right?

Know it all.

Yes it's a new location but I think it's actually the spot just to the west of the old Eugenes.  Same complex but right "next door".

In addition to the Hawk and Hen on lower Yates, I heard about a restaurant going into the space next to Ferris'. That would make 4t restaurants in basically the same building!

I was at 1990 Fort yesterday - renovations underway for a Vietnamese restaurant to go in to where Eugene's was.

Actually the Stones Throw guys were basically thrown out by the hotel. The lease increase was ridiculous to say the least.

Paparazzi is facing the same thing in their lease negotiations.

New owner of hotel I hear.

I can see the restaurant turning over, seems you can always find another person to try, when it's turn-key.

 

Not so sure they will find a willing partner for the nightclub too easily.  I think that place only has a few hours of profitability every week.

^ Rumor is the hotel is running the restaurant now.

Other is the other retail spaces are going to face the same fate. So it goes they want a lounge back in the lobby.

So the other side of the rumour goes is they want a lounge back up in the lobby. Moving the liquor back up into the lobby would solve a lot of hotel guest noise complaints and get something that was usable by guest a little more. Attila has already posted on his Facebook page that this may be their last Pride at Paparazzi.

I would suggest that any number of online and smartphone apps have had as much to do with Paparazzi's demise as did any rent increase at the hotel. It's simply not the 1980s anymore. Most people don't need an underground space and overpriced drinks to hook up these days.

Yes but the rent increase will just be the final nail in the coffin.
