[QUOTE=Member #3320;430317]It has been some weeks now?[/QUOTE]Hi Guys,

As some of you already know, for the past several weeks I have been heavily involved in working with the owners of El Alamo to open their new location in Palermo.

This endeavor has precluded any opportunity for me to have the time to host the regular Friday night dinners.

I expect to resume the regular schedule with a dinner on Friday, Dec 21st.

Thanks,

Jackson.

PS: The new El Alamo Palermo is looking great!

[QUOTE=Kevins;430348]Second alamo the original continues as it was[/QUOTE]My only problem with the existing location is the total disregard for residents in a nearby apartment when the kids leave the bar at 3, 4, 5 in the morning. Drunk, disorderly and noisy. Can't the management do anything about this. For some veeeery strange reason the cops decide to turn a blind eye. I wonder why?

I wonder why?[/QUOTE]Why would the management of a bar have to take a role in the actions of their patrons when they are walking in the street? If you live here you know that the coima you imply they are paying is simply to stay open. There isn't a single bar in this city that doesn't create this same problem. I would credit it more to the overall rudeness and inconsideration of young adults here than some payoff the bar is making to the PFA.

Anybody who lives in smack dab downtown ANY major world class city and expects peace and quiet is pretty much fucked. Of course a US perspective would be the bar is overserving a lot of these people. Hence in the US you never see the "drown nights" that can lead to this behavior. I personally think the bar's responsibility ends when the patron hits the sidewalk but if you continually piss off the neighbors, you might have problems with your license. In the US those might be serious problems but in BA would just increase the coima and hence be merely another overhead expense. This Dallas Cowboy who killed his teammate, they are chasing down the bars where they drank right now. My state, fortunately, has what is known as "dramshop laws" so the bars could not get sued in this type of situation. You wonder how many of those young sots spilling out of El Alamo at closing then proceed to drive. Probably not too many, but for sure some.

Out of respect for the owner of this forum and now a joint owner of Alamo bar 2, lets not talk anything negative about Alamo bar on a public forum.

Lets be in support and have only good things to say about it. Remember, lot of people read this forum as guests.

Seriously, do you really think anything we say here will make any difference to Alamo's business? Do you have any idea how much this place grosses and how long the lineups are for this place on weekends? Anything anyone says here will not have any impact on Alamo's usual clentele. They don't give a shit what we old farts have to say!

Jax may be a partner in the new Alamo, but I am sure he won't be overly concerned about you honestly exercising your freedom of speech on this topic.

When is the new one opening? I'll be staying in Palermo Hollywood for 6 weeks starting at the end of the month and looking for a local place to catch the NFL playoffs.

New location. The owner of this forum is not a co-owner of the old Alamo. He will be the co-owner of the Alamo 2. So irrespective of what business the old one does, the new one will not necessarily hit the ground running. It may take some time (logically speaking) to reach level of Alamo 1.

Yes, you guys are right. If a place is good, it does not matter if one or two guys speak bad about it.

It is not about a free dinner. If I co-own a bar, I would just want to read only and only good things written about it on the net prior its opening especially on my own website. Just my 2 cents. And yes, Jackson is a dear friend of mine.
