very nice place with lots of brick and wood. warm and inviting.
schedule to open dec. 12th.
i think it will do well in this part of town.

Just we need- more madness at the Summit this time of the year.... :roll:

Hey !! Thanks for the heads up Annemarie, we've been wondering when this was going to happen. Hope the Summit location is a little more "geezer friendly" :? We've always felt a little outside the target demographic for the St. Matts location.

Speaking of "24 taps", I heard third hand (via a friend in Chattanooga, who knows someone who knows someone) that the Mellow Mushroom (Old Dutch's location) is shooting for 24 taps as well.

Speaking of geezer, I remember when ten taps were cool, daddio.

I didn't know they had a champagne room.

Lunch was very geezer friendly. Given their pricing (very reasonable!) only way could earn $500 in tips was if everyone were drinking dinner (very possible).

Had the do-it-yourself fish tacos, and would recommend ... . sort of the catfish fingers that other Malone's restaurants serve for appetizers, with add-ons surrounding and with four tacos.

Two of my friends are bartenders there. They have been very busy and yes, they are making great money. But not the kind of numbers being thrown around here.
