It should obviously be named Justice.
2
I can't believe Online Coffee hung on that long.
3
I hope this place is way over priced and way over pretentious with an oddly high number of homeless hanging out!!
4
@1 I was thinking Equality or Fraternity.
5
Online Coffee was a great community resource. Random Yuppiebar #741 (their new name) will not be.
6
I like the concept -- just like going to a friend's house for a drink. I'm assuming that means the drinks are free, right?

@5: Liberty has good coffee and free wi-fi all day—hopefully the new place will follow suit.

"Naming a bar is kind of like naming a baby. You have one chance to do it right." (Friedman's own brand-new baby girl is named Bowie Friedman.)
Um, yeah.

8- Online Coffee was a good resource for people without a laptop or iPad (the ones who need Internet).

Also, this news reads like a paid ad. Why not ask what makes this bar diverse from the 10000 other expensive cocktail bars, or about their Liberty menu items from the MBA/Environmental Defense Fund's "AVOID" list?

@1 and @4: A place that aims to be like "going to your friend's house and having a drink" has to got to called Fraternity. Though I can see how that could be misinterpreted.
12
@6:

That, plus you get to help yourself to whatever's in the fridge...

@5:

"Random Yuppiebar" - what is this, the '80's? The term "Yuppie" hasn't been in common usage since the early '90's. Or did you really mean to say "Hipster"?

In either case, please, do try to keep up.

Liberty is coated with farts. Sweat. Breath. I can only go there when the temperature is above 64 degrees. It is then that they'll crack the door. Acceptable. But from September to March: stankfoot in there. Icky!

Online Coffee building the same way? Hope not.
15
They should do a Happy Hour drink special called the Online. Kahlua with a buzz.

@13 for the Epic Naming Rights win of the Decade.

Is it the 20's yet?

Or as we'll call it, the Double Deuce?
17
Will. Why in every fucking thread do you have to declare something the win? shut the hell up.
18
Bowie? Better luck with the bar's name dude
19
@17 I don't. Half the time there is no winner, or someone else did it.
20
Will, there is very rarely a thread "winner." There is, however almost always a loser (it's you)
21
@20 +1
22
@4 and @11: I would accept Fraternity except, you know, for the existence of fraternities. Equality is an okay name, though.
23
Respect, you guys. You see- Will was involved in the alpha testing of the Argentine version of this bar in the early 2000's.

"The Memory Hole"

A real community asset provides Internet access and computers,free of charge. It's called a library.
26
@7 You know where else there's a bar on every corner? Baltimore. And that place has awesome places for cheap rent!

(Awesome except for the strongarm and/or home-invasion robberies. But I still miss the Mount Royal Tavern.)

Olive House

Please wait...
