I partnered with three much younger guys to buy a bar. Not just any bar but the old sports bar we all loved and missed known to us as The Triple Play Saloon. The old sign is in the basement and will go up early next week but we will add "Uncle milty's" to it. The original owner, Uncle Milty as we all knew him, died a few years back and the place became a pizza joint and not a very good one as evidenced by it's demise. I'm 51% owner and plan to keep close tabs on the place, hell with all my drinkin buddies i will have enough eyes on the place and I'll pick up their tabs by repayment.
It's still early enough in the year to get a bar league flag football team going and next year mens and ladies softball teams up and running. I know several guys and gals that want to have golf outings and a bunch of fishermen and hunters that we will cater to and have a game dinner or two and maybe if all goes as planned a fall Triple Play Saloon customer appreciation picnic! On the house!
We will serve simple bar food at first. Hot dogs,hamburgers, fries and salads of different kinds for the veggie lovers and move on when we can afford a real chef or chefette. in the meantime it's the other guys responsibility to do the cooking.
SHHHHHH we will be open before legal hours, including food, for the cops, fire people,nurses hospital workers,power plant workers and fishermen that Uncle Milty always took care of... a modern day speak easy so to say. I'm sure the word will spread fast as I know a few of the old early regulars.
It is in a good location. Older quiet neighborhood with well kept homes,steps from the harbor, original 20's bar and not in bad shape just the men's and ladies rooms need to be torn out and redone. Although we are looking to make a fortune we just want to enjoy it in the glory we knew it to be.
So, Uncle Milty, if your lookin down i hope we make you proud! |
