It's been closed for two weekends in a row and they never seem to answer the phone. Is it open? Closed for renovations? I've been wanting to have some friends there for my birthday later in May, but am nervous.

Dried up meat and less than mediocre service. Not worth the money. Fri May 11 11:47:16 -0700 2007 2557761 18351 Hanachan 2 2564361 Hands down, the worst attempt at making BBQ that has ever been. Strange considering that Al Harding is or was assoc. with this joint at one time. Sat May 12 11:03:32 -0700 2007 2562081 11149 noodles 2 2565876 I agree. Last year I got some bbq tofu that was gross. And the guy waiting on us was rude in a way that was trying to be funny, but it wasn't. The "bad art museum" on the walls is hilarious though.

It was going to have to be last call. It was 8:30. He pointed to a woman sitting at a corner table with a giant stack of paperwork before her. He said she was from the DOH and they were being closed down 'for the weekend' do to a decision by management to ignore two citations for smoking on the premises. We ordered our last drinks, I finished my meal and then we had to leave. As noted above, it has yet to re-open. I believe the bartender's words were "This may be the end of an era". Take that as you will. Regardless of the quality of the food, it was a warm, inviting place to drink and to talk to neighbors. And I hope it returns. (edited to fix 'quality OF the food') Mon May 14 08:05:47 -0700 2007 2557761 21550 spicynuts 1 2570400 Don't fret, it's back open now, running regular hours!
