Don't have a clue what MoJazz is either. I graduated in 1996.

A couple of doors down from Cafe Beaudelaire, toward the bank.

Do they still have baskets of peanuts and let you throw the shells on the floor?

As far as I'm concerned it's Party-Poopers Corner. Or just Poopers Corner.

I'll never drop a dime in that place.

I will admit that 16-17 years is really good for a bar. But very few businesses make it, long term, at Lincoln Way and Welch. Don't know if it's overhead, or problems with the summer blues, but they almost all do, sooner or later, go down.

And I was referring to the "classy bar" concept, not the concept of "dive bar".

I was in there about an hour ago and I got hammered! Now my money is gone and I can still type pretty well so that means the deals were not good!

Walked in the door and the bouncer told me he wouldn't pay the cover himself. Not a good start.

I was skeptical going into this place because the owners forced People's out to persue their own selfish dreams but they offered to let our band and a couple others to play there on the agreement that the bands would get the cover. The bands brought in sixty customers but the managers decided they were gonna keep the cover and pay the bands nothing. 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.
