Quote of the weekend right here:

“They have $5 Vodka Collins served in a 16 oz keg cup that will knock you on your keester.”

Seriously, that would do it to me, for sure.

Stan’s is awesome, crowded, cramped and full of Yankees fans, and the floor is all uneven! It definitely made for the complete game experience last year, and makes me miss the east coast! hehe.

Cheers,
C

I never felt that Stan’s was all that special. More like a crowded Frat party in college where you had to be very tall or a girl to have any hope of getting a beer. It was fine for what it was. Maybe now that it is slightly out of the way, it will become a cool place to get a beer and hang with friends, without being pushed and shoved constantly.

Maybe charging $7 (probably $8 this year) for a bottle of beer is scaring away customers. I go to a bodega for normally priced beer pre game.

the two bars I remember from that neighborhood are the one with attractive (OK hot) barmaids and the one with bartenders that look like they are firemen or cops, but I can’t remember the names. The former was my preferred watering hole, but the latter was $2 cheaper per beer and had better service, so sometimes that’s where I ended up.

Fans like me, though, will still head down to Stan’s, or maybe even Billy’s, for a pre-game drink.

funny you should mention Billy’s, b/c haven’t they done the exact same thing with their renovations?

unless i am thinking of the wrong place, Billy’s renovated last year and put in chandeliers(!), the bar is backlit with blue lights, they painted over the spray paint murals, etc.

i’d say the “midtown in the Bronx” is exactly the vibe that Billy’s is going for now.

It is ridiculous. It’s not like the stadium has moved to the North Bronx. It’s down the block!

Ok look, this is ridiculous. I live a few blocks from Wrigley. There are so many freaking sports bars surrounding the place and they are always jammed on game days. There will be plenty of business for all the bars. It’s not like they moved to the Lower East Side.

You said it Ben, That’s all we need $8 beers inside AND outside of the stadium. Great.
