Thanks to everyone. Now you can get your revenge on me. But please, don't yell at me in front of everyone. I might cry.

**gnome** · January-15-10, 10:31 AM

1KD- Good luck with your new venture. What kind of establishment do you plan to have? Shot 'n beer? Fern bar? Will you serve food, if so, what kind?

**Detroitnerd** · January-15-10, 10:39 AM

Used to be a family-owned bar, but with unusual hours that always kept me guessing. What time of day does it open, 1KD? I live a few blocks away and do enjoy drinking.

I was wondering the same thing. I live several hundred miles away, and enjoy drinking.

Detroit Nerd, hours TBD. I'll post them when I get my s*#t together. OG, where were you when I unlocked the cellar this morning?

**Jordangirl2** · January-15-10, 11:23 AM

Good Luck on the opening and wish I could stop by!

**firstlady** · January-15-10, 01:46 PM

I went across the street to Hamtamck Medical to get some Alka Seltzer & Band Aids. PS, where's the Tabasco.

**Melody** · January-15-10, 02:54 PM

I was wondering what was going on with the Chill and Mingle. That's down the street from my bar, Small's [[corner of Caniff and Conant). The Atlas on Yemens just changed owners too. Glad to know there's still a lot going on with the Hamtramck bar scene, and just in time for Paczki Day!

**cgellasch** · January-15-10, 03:53 PM

If anyone is in need of a great bartender to man these places, let me know.

**rockinrona** · January-15-10, 04:03 PM

Aloha from across the pond I also enjoy drinking, wish you the best on your opening_ Right Now and we are all there is spirit and I'll lift a pint to ya now

**RickBeall** · January-15-10, 04:53 PM

I will be there! Shhhhhhhhhh. But keep it down, my wife does not know yet.

[[He hehe, I slyly saved my post to bump this back up to the top.) Let's see if we can get enough people going that Skippy will be forced to serve drinks on the sidewalk. [[g)

**pgn421** · January-15-10, 05:47 PM

What are the hours of operation? Same as the " Stray Dog"?

**donpablo** · January-15-10, 10:10 PM

Awesome. Hey Skipper, will you still have Bell's porter for $6 a pitcher like I remember drinking at your bar in the early 90's?? Man, that was a deal...
