I'm not endorsing cover 3, but I have heard positive reviews on the Austin location.

We gave them several chances because my wife wanted to believe the manager when he promised her they were working on it, but the place repeatedly had slow, horrible service every single time we went there.
Good riddance.

Went in there, and they were out of jalapenos. Seriously, out of jalapenos?

Either way, they've definitely started remodeling the space intensively over the past few weeks. (Calling Benjamin Nicholas for more info!)

Incidentally, I've heard that the old Web House space on Woodlawn and St. Mary's will become "The Faust Tavern," also a bar/pizza joint. I imagine that they'll cater more to the St. Mary's indie/rock n' roll crowd, especially as Hi-Tones folks are behind it.

One more: La Bikina on St. Mary's now has horrible stickers and painting all over it proclaiming its new identity as "Club 3000." Any info? It doesn't look good.

It will be a pizza place from 1 of the owners of the Monty and 1 or more others. they are progressing as you stated. No date set yet, but likely in the next couple of months. It will be a comfortable place to get damn good pie like Roberta's in Bushwick.

Fatso's is by no means a high quality sports bar. It serves its purpose though.

Think semi-gourmet food, great wine/beer list, elegant but comfortable seating, great sound, and countless large high quality screens strategically placed to ensure maximum viewing quality.

Sweet! Thanks for the info--it's just what I wanted to hear.

Any info on whether Hot Joy will find a permanent home up on Broadway? (Rumors, rumors. . . .)

Can anyone substantiate a rumor that the Quarry Hofbrau will open a second location at The Rim? Maybe coming into the Tejacienda space? I did notice some workers at the building earlier today.

Thanks for the Hofbrau confirmation - must have missed that obvious piece of information in my search!
