El Alamo

[QUOTE=Amantelondres;430351]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?[/QUOTE]Hi,

I have no financial interest in the original Alamo, but I have known all the parties involved in the business and the building for years.

I can tell you categorically that the owners of El Alamo have never held a "[i]total disregard for residents in a nearby apartment[/i]". In fact, they have taken a number of measures over the years in direct response to the neighbor concerns, said measures specifically intended to mitigate the impact of their operation on the neighborhood, including curtailing the bar's hours of operation, blocking off the exterior windows to reduce street gawkers, posting security guards outside the building, and even paying to install new double paned windows in many of the adjacent neighbor's windows to curtail the effects of the street noise.

Thanks,

Jackson

[QUOTE=ElReyalto;430365]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.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Sidney;430368]What is the address of the 2nd location? I wish them well and expect another great success story.[/QUOTE]Hi Guys,

El Alamo's new 2nd location is on Cordoba just a couple of blocks from Juan B Justo. I'm deliberately withholding the address until we're ready for the public.

We have not yet established an opening date, but I expect that it will be sometime on or immediately after January 1st.

The new 2nd location will be ideal for watching college and pro football, with five 55" HDTVs throughout the bar room, each independently capable of receiving all the games from the USA.

We're also planning a live music venue on the 2nd floor, and an outdoor bar with another TV on the rooftop terrace.

Stay tuned.

Thanks,

Jackson

Greetings everyone,

We opened EL Alamo Palermo last Thursday night, just 48 days after we took possession of the property, and just 14 days after the idiot Exon stood in the middle of the construction project and proclaimed "[i]You won't be open until mid February[/i]".

Personally, I think that completely remodeling a 4,000 SF facility, including a new kitchen, a handicapped bathroom, a 12 meter long bar, all new electrical and redecorating everything in less than 7 weeks was a commendable achievement.

Anyway, the place looks great, and we opened to a full house.

I'd like to invite everyone to come by and check the place out.

Ave Cordoba 5267
------------------------------
Open 4 pm to 4 am daily[/b][/size][/indent]

It's in Palermo Viejo, near the corner of Godoy Cruz.

FYI, of course we're closed on the 24th and the 25th for Christmas.

Thanks,

Jackson

FYI, next week we start work on the rooftop terrace, which will include a covered bar, tables with umbrellas, lots of plants and of course HDTV for the sports enthusiasts.

Sounds nice.

Did you install central air? Today is about 110 degrees! But feels like 122 !

Did they make you build a Fire Escape from the terrace so you can have Live Music, etc?

Thanks,

Since I don't know what the old place was. Any chica connection at all, or "just" a regular pub?

If you're FOBU and you're looking for Argentine girls who would be interested in your offers of commerce, then you'd be sorely disappointed and quite likely to be slapped in the face.

TL[/QUOTE]The building has central A/C, with separate roof-top units for each floor, with the capacity sufficient to heat and cool the bar room full of customers.

Nevertheless, we are adding two additional 15k units this week to ensure that we can heat and cool the place under any conditions, regardless of the building's occupancy or the outside weather conditions.

Regarding the fire escape, the building is a "purpose-built" concrete structure, which means that it was originally designed and built to conform to all the fire codes, including 10 ft wide stairways to / from all floors. We also have smoke detectors in the kitchen and the bathrooms, and 6 fire extinguishers on each floor. The building has been inspected by the Fire Inspectors and we have passed all the requirements for the current use.

Nevertheless, in order to obtain a separate license to operate a live music venue on the 2nd floor, we will be installing a sophisticated central fire detection system with multiple smoke / fire detectors throughout the building, all connected to a central panel in the security office and to the local fire department, plus effecting additional physical modifications such as installing fire-proof ceiling tiles, etc.

Thanks,

Jackson

Sounds good. I will check it out one of these days. Is there breakfast?

The times that I have been to the original Alamo were uncomfortable due to the Lack of air-conditioning and I always sat under the ac at the end of the bar, the locals just don't care or they are accustomed to 100 degree weather. I'm buying an ac unit for my apartment this week. I had 2 15k units at my resto that I could have given you; they were new and they were Surreys. Stolen right off of my roof in December! I was going to put them in my pad but they were 3-phase.

Anyway, the 48 days in the hole is unbelievable! Fuck, it took X 4 years to re-open!

I was there last night at midnight and a street walker walked past and sat down with a couple of locals for a bit of champagne so I witnessed the FIRST HOOKER at X!

You must have used a Paraguayan Labor Force, payed well and planned things out carefully; guess you were there every day sort of like a Supervisor.

Would like to see it soon.

Thanks and Good Luck!

You may want to open at 2:30pm instead of 4pm this Sunday because the N. F. L games start at 3:00pm Local time, at least most of them do.
