Stix for sale
Back when Stix first opened in South Lake Union I went over and took a look and decided it wasn’t my scene [mb]. It went through a bit of a remodel and tried on a few new looks, but given a choice for where to go for an after-work drink, I will always pick the Mars Bar over anywhere else in the neighborhood.
It looks like I wasn’t the only one who never warmed up to the place, because The Southlake is pointing out that the joint is for sale. From the listing:
“BUSINESS CLOSED, SELLER MOTIVATED!!!! Rare opportunity to aquire a first class restaurant and billiards club facility, located on the shore of South Lake Union near downtown Seattle. Built out brand new just 2 years ago, this facility is located next to the south end station of the new South Lake Union Trolly line, and across from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center….The facility includes a full kitchen, multiple pool tables, a private room with deck, and a very large and contemperary bar. A new owner can easily convert to a full service restaurant, club, catering facility, or ??????.”
So I guess if you’re in the market for a pool hall with a view, this is your chance. I wish someone would come in and make it something that doesn’t match Joey’s and Chandler’s and all of those. Bonus points to the buyer if they sell piroshkis or turn it into a Chik-Fil-A franchise filled with pool tables. If you do that I will visit you all of the time.
Only 250k? Really?
Damn, that’s a pretty good deal it would seem. I never liked their beers, but thought the idea was pretty good.
On a side note, who’s going to the Washington Brewers Festival Mother of All Father’s Day Beer Festivals? I can’t ever seem to convince any of my friends to make the short drive to Kenmore for it and am wondering if any fun Seattle Metblog readers are planning on attending. We could sing beer songs and make fun of all the kilts. Come on, I know you like making fun of men in kilts!
May I just say I find it ironic that you appear to be replying to my comment but that I, in fact, wear a utilikilt almost daily. =)
Ha, I love it! Utilikilted men are abundant at beer festivals for some reason so I picked the thing most people would find a little unusual. People always like to pick on the thing that is unfamiliar and making fun of things seems to be a popular Seattle past time.
What else could we make fun of at the beer fest? OOOOOHHHH, I just remembered one, the stupid young jock that gets so drunk he stumbles around the festival. Drunks are SUPER fun to make fun of because they don’t even realize that they are being made fun of. Besides Utilikilted men are usually kind of large and burly looking, and not generally someone I would want to fight (although I’m fairly large and have been told I’m burly looking. Hell I’m a 235 lbs. 6 foot Mexican, I’m considered a downright menace in certain neighborhoods!). Let’s make fun of stupid young drunks instead.
