Posts: 3040It Would Be Stupid!
It would NOT make any sense to not have outside seating.

Huge, extra wide sidewalk and a corner location. Most famous corner in Buenos Aires for 40 years.
There will be tables and chairs but maybe no Chicas which means no customers after 10pm.

Posts: 2470I walked into Exedra today and talked with a guy working there. He says it will be open within a month. There's still work to be done but all the furniture is in there.
This is likely to be very anticlimactic. I doubt any gatos will be welcome. I don't know if there will be any outside seating.

Posts: 3040It Was Sold
X was never shut down, it was sold by the owner's son when the owner died.

Partial list of problems :
A long legal hassle to pay-off the exemployees, some that had worked there for 30 plus years.
Each waiter was entitled to 150k plus as severance .
Moving the bathrooms from ground level to the basement, adding central air, unable to find the main gas line underground, contractor unable to pay the workers so they squatted on site for at least 1.5 years !
The new owners have very deep pockets so they were never in a huge rush to reopen.
Permits and lack of permits!
It appears to be ready, has new furniture still under plastic wrapping.
They created a smoking area where the bathrooms were but then the law changed so they had to tear it out.
The word on the street is that they will not allow Chicas to hang-out there when it reopens.
So why bother going?
If you build it they will come.

Posts: 3040I was inside X Today! The Latest!
I was able to gain access to the interior of The Grand X today around noon and I spoke to the man that was working in there.

He did not know anything about Chicas.

It will have the same name and has nothing to do with Bricco's.
Place looks very nice, pleasing colors.
Tuck and roll sofa looks cheap and out of place with the modern, booth style semi-sofas.
Oh well, I am an interior designer!
The X emblem which is VERY nice is cock-eyed on the bar!
That's a capital sin man!
Like a crooked Mona Lisa!
The place looks like it's ready to go now.
Also, Lälliance, my old place will re-open in April!
AS a FUCKING SUBWAY!
My rent was $3, 200. 00.
His rent is $14, 000. 00!
He has to redo EVERYTHING and pay for the franchise, etc.
Shit product in my opinion because it's just bread and 1 thin piece of ham and cheese!
I need a ¨Jewish Deli ¨Dagwood!
A fucking 2 pound pastrami on rye with melting cheese!
He will probably close at night and on sat. And sun. !
20 lunches a month to cover his nut!
Can he do it?

A reliable source (or as reliable as one can expect here) tells me it will reopen on or about September 20th as a coffee shop with no other activities.

Posts: 2470Don't hold your breath
There is close to nothing going on as far as renovation inside the place. The whole thing remains a mystery.
