They will be able to draw on the convention crowd who don’t know any better.

Fucking groan and a half.

Bar/restaurants where the staff purposefully treats you like shit are still a thing in 2015? How kitschy! I think I’d rather stick with a bro bar.

Would rather see a Ed Debevic’s diner here…(sarcasm factor)

I think we’re going to need JimL2 to return to Columbus to review this place when it opens. ;)

I mean there’s a Dick’s Last Resort right in Quincy Market in the heart of downtown Boston, so I guess this doesn’t surprise me that much. That whole part of the Arena District is very chainy to begin with Buca, Ted’s across the street, and Boston’s.

Mongolian BBQ, Rodizio, Jimmy John’s, Gordon Biersch, Max & Erma’s (if you count that)…

Add a Hard Rock Cafe to the Arena District and a Señor Frog’s along the banks of the Scioto and baby, you’ve got a stew going, brought to a boil by Guy Fieri no less!

That’s when you know you’ve made it to the big times.

Switch Señor Frog’s to Señor Tadpole’s and you could have worked two Arrested Development references into one sentence. ;)

I wonder if they still have soft-core porn matchbooks.

It does well in other similar size cities so I don’t know why it won’t be some what of a success here; but we shall see.

He said 76 percent of Dick’s customers are visiting from out of town. The chain opens in tourist-heavy spots where it is flanked by a mix of hotels, sports and entertainment venues and convention centers.

So true. I imagine this will pull in a lot of concert and hockey fans. Maybe we’re all crazy and it will be a huge hit lol.
