We went there for lunch once this summer. It was noon and we were the only people in there. Funny, the service was STILL slow. Not much for selection on the menu and it wasn't all that good of food. The place definitely looks nice, but their business plan makes NO sense to me. If you are in campustown and try to market to anyone other than students, you are setting yourself up to fail.
I'm still pissed that they turned it into a bar in the first place. The drug store was the best!
I agree 100%... although if they had it on a Thursday and sold $3 mason jars, I would have to think twice about 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?
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.

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
You FAIL even greater for responding to a post 1+ years ago to say FAIL
fyi the place is now headliners and is trying to get back to a peoples type feel. yeah papa's corner killed the regular crowd but the place now offers some great deals on drinks, food, and entertainment, especially live bands. Yeah there is a cover but if you get there before 10 or 11 it is guaranteed to be no more than 2 or 3 bucks tops and if that stops you from seeing live music and a great atmosphere than you really shouldn't be looking for live music.
Headliners > Papa's. They have a chance to recapture some of what People's did. Now that most of the Campustown bargoers were under age when People's was actually open, you don't really have the boycotters, that I guarantee contributed to Papa's Corner's demise.
