| Post subject: | Beef's in Newburgh another BT casualty |
Not a business casualty - they are doing just fine as a craft beer and football venue, but BT is done at the end of the year. Not all that surprising as other than my wife and I trivia only drew a few people for the occasional Six game once the Beef's Battle was discontinued and after the local SD team essentially fragmented (having deserted Beef's due to expense earlier). Even I was less frequent a customer of late since the tiny bar area was almost always too jostling and crowded for my shambling and unbalanced movements, and prices had indeed got a bit too elevated, frequently topping $8 for a foamy 22oz. The business will be just fine and I wish them well. As the owner of such a place I would have made the same call, probably sooner. That leaves us with a non-TV BWW that's also both pricey and crowded (bar owners who are failing in general should survey this market - it's much likelier here to have not enough seats than not enough people sitting on them), an Old Chicago with incredibly unreliable boxes, a desultory casino sports bar "downtown" and the standby Time Out less than a mile from here, with $4-8.50 pitchers, arena-sized parking and 40 or so bar seats that are at least half empty until 10 o clock or so when the place becomes a heaving 800+ capacity meat market for the late nighters. That's how they make their money of course and as long as he's willing to have BT to draw in the happy hour and early birds like us then I'll respond with giving his early bartenders something to do. A touch rough around the edges comparatively, but nothing troubling. Easy call - I had split time earlier due to Beef's excellent beer list, innovative ownership and, pre-ban, smoke free advantage. I'll be sorry to see them go, but safe trivia wise for now thankfully, as we wait out the all-too apparent decline nationally. |

Sorry to read this. Frankly, though, I also wonder why some of BT's sites continue to retain the game, but that's for another thread... At least you will have other sites to visit; I wish you well at these places. -- RWM |
