They have a $40,000 sound system that they refuse to turn up and they cut both of the headling bands off before their sets were done. Half the beer was sold out by the end of the night, leaving little beer selection and they had one slow bar tender to serve a somewhat busy bar. Wouldn't play there again and wouldn't go in this place again. The management are liars and the sound people are don't know what they're doing.
If this is true, that place is going to die soooooo fast.

Yes, I'm an ISU Alum and Hawkeye fan...get over it.

So if this place shuts down quickly do they:

Ask the owners of People's if they want to reopen People's there?

Would People's even consider it after getting the boot?

Does the person/people who own Sips/Paddy's/Outlaws grab up another bar?

How about the owner of Capone's/(the place where Phuel was)/ Cafe Northwest open up another bar?

Re: What is Papa's Corner???

I haven't been there yet, but I definitely would. The guy that owns the firetruck is the manager of the whole thing I think. Not sure since I haven't talked to him about it since last year. He helped get Hickory Park where it is today and has done the same elsewhere.

I'm surprised it's not top notch yet. I knew that many would hate it for the People's factor, but the other comments concern me. From what it sounded, the whole block is owned by a family and it's free and clear of liens. So it would take a major move for it to close. New management or retooling is a possibility if it truly sucks, but I would highly doubt it going down for financial reasons.


Now that is how to tackle!

I have reason to think that it will be in the dumper soon when I walk by on Friday and Saturday nights and can count the number of people in there on one hand, including bartenders and staff.

I'm pretty sure the place charges a cover, which is the sole reason I won't ever attend
