I was going to dress up as him for halloween but do you know how hard it is to find a scythe in this town.

Was there for a bit last night.  Did not suck.  Many drinks were had.  The front side will probably be pretty nice for watching sports.

They hyped it up really well. Pretty nice, chill, etc. But like any bar, the atmosphere will be made by the type of crowd it draws, not the layout of the building.

I've only seen pictures, but it looks as if the eating/sitting down area is really nice buy then there's a huge rough ridin' empty space right by that. That would be like eating in an empty barn. But I'll reserve judgement till I actually go (this weekend?!?)

Was enormous.  Just walked through to check it out.  Front part is a normal-sized bar, probably the same size as the front part of Pat's or something.  But then you go through a door to the back and it's just a mass of people dancing and it was super crowded and I felt like I had walked into an alternate universe.  Probably will watch sports in the main room at some point.

It's got a huge empty dance floor.  Seems like there's half a dozen of the exact same place in Aggieville now--trying to re-create Lucky's.  Pats on Thursday was the one exception playing pretty decent music.  I really like what they've done in there.

Pat's is just awful now.  Music is insanely loud.

you know how ballards was kind of like two different buildings? one side with shoes and stuff and the other with the printing business and stuff? jkaws is where the shoe side used to be (i think). anyway they did a pretty good job and that backroom is huge. the fact that they don't currently have food and won't for at least another month combined with how big and open that back area is gives me some concern that it is trying to out tubby tubby's which is fine but i was hoping for a good version of kites and i don't think we're going to get it. oh well.

Some of the best wings in the 'Ville.  1/2 price on Monday.  I like Pat's setup since it changed almost a year ago, but holy rough ridin' crap they play awful music way too loud on the weekends.

Pat's was great for $2 pitchers. That was about all it was ever good for though.

yes, although I believe it went straight to being tanks tavern to the ale house. but I could be wrong.
Title: Re: Tell me about Johnny Kaws
Post by: pike on November 02, 2011, 10:03:01 PM
Yes. Tank was a real dog too. And Tanks was a bar for a little over a year, IIRC. Then they tore it apart and made it into Ale House which is much better IMO.

Tank's minor night.  I mean, was there a better era to be a freshman at K-State?  I think not.

So far the only report I've heard was from someone who enjoyed it, but complained of "sugar belly" due to the extreme sweetness of the islandy drinks. He then proceded to puke in the alley behind porter's. FWIW, porters was still serving tacos at the time.

I heard from a source (B) that the guy that runs the place ran into some problems and got in a little over his head. After all, Kaws was supposed to open in August.

sounds reasonable.  he's always behind on opening dates, but if you expected to have 2 more months of revenue than you actually get, it'd be that much harder to pay the bank.

Yeah, this is his first bar that's taken a lot of investment. Shot Stop and Bomb Bar probably cost about $3 combined to open. This one took a lot of work and money.
