Blue Rose Cafe Returning

[TeeDub]

The Bull and Bear will have pizza and paninis?

What the hell is up with that?   They need to give their kitchen space over to someone else and focus on what made them worthwhile.   Jimmy and strong drinks.

I'll eat lunch there!  It's right next to my office!  

I used to love Steamroller Blues!  I hope he has some of the same menu items!

Blue Rose was more of a drinkin place!

You missed the part where Tom is not re-opening a kitchen, just doing drinks and music.  He's missing the boat.  His food was one of the reasons I went there.  I can buy a beer and park a Harley just about anywhere around Tulsa, why would I choose the new Blue Rose over anywhere else.

He had a great business model with Blue Rose, was making plenty of money on that and pissed it away getting too far flung on Steamroller.  One thing that worked for BR early on was that he and Kelly were there every day to greet the customers and make sure everything was great.

I miss his Blue Rose Special burgers and his teriyaki chicken nachos.  I ate there the day it opened, the day it closed, and plenty of times in between.

Hopefully Tom will get tipped off we are talking about him and think about a kitchen.

Oh!  Without a kitchen that will not survive.  There are plenty of other drunk holes in the area.  Most are quite sleazy and very cheap!

What made the Blue Rose an excellent drinkin spot was the people watching and just being on Brookside!  I don't think watching folks bum cigarettes from each other at the bus stop by London Square is going to have the same appeal.

HEY TOM!  WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Is not Tom the landlord rep on the same property he is opening these venues? Hmmm?

Restaurants right now in Tee Town are getting hurt. Low attendance, higher food costs and mediocrity seem to be having a big negative impact.

Rumor has it McGill's may be opening a breakfast lunch diner near Sunset.

Well that explains it.  It's his own gun pointed at his foot.  

I wish him the very best in this endeavor, against the odds, but I hope he can make a go of it!

I drove by Sunset last night and thought to myself...wow...still open? I have not heard on ONE person who has been there.
Way to go Tulsa Now...you almost have ESP.

I had not heard that.  I'd been told he was helping manage some properties for in-laws with his brother.  His in-laws FAIK aren't the owners of London Sq.  

But hey, you know how the rumor mill is in Tulsa...

definitely alive and living large on these threads.  If it wasn't for rumors there would be very little to speculate about.
