Anyone know what's going to happen to the old Blue Ocean or whatever the heck it was called by Charlestons on Yale? Drove by the other day and saw a 40 yd dumpster and some of the window trim being removed around a few of the windows.

As I mentioned, it won't be a steakhouse. My guess is a bar restaurant. I asked if it was going to be a second location for Red Rock since the same owner has the building but was told no. It's a questionable site.

That location has been how many different restaurants?  I can think of 4 in the 7 years I have been here.   Maybe the kiss of death location, possibly?

Hold on. Steak House to me refers to high end. Morton's et al. My favorite is Mahagony. The rest I would not put in the same category. Fleming's is the other high end steakhouse. Outback, Lone Star etc are today's Bonanza with beer .....

Honestly, I don't get the attraction- snootier service, maybe a little better cut of meat.

I'd rather eat at McGills and give the difference to the DNC, Greenpeace, etc.  [}:)]

red rock was nasty and overpriced....it would do quite well at that location.

I've never had a bad experience at RedRock.  The food I've had has been quite scrumptious, and their tortilla soup is spectacular.  They are pricey, but I feel that it's a good value.

I also heard Eliot Nelson purchased 1974....

I hope he turns it into a real sports bar instead of the half-assed sports bar it is now. I've been there a lot and never seen it even 1/4 full.

I also hope he spruces up that huge beer garden area next to 1974. Arnie's beer garden is nice but far too small to even consider visiting on a weekend. Downtown really needs a real beer garden and a real sports bar.

If you count those, you might as well add:

Warren Duck at 61st,
Green Onion, Steak & Ale, and Outback at 51st.

did 1974 get that name because that was the year it opened or someone just thought 1974 was a cool year?

That's the cachet of Arnie's small "beer garden".  It's small enough that it's a relaxing setting and not too loud.

I do enjoy Arnie's beer garden on weeknights when it's not overly crowded. But it's just way too small to even consider going there at 10pm on a Friday or Saturday night. You have to molest fellow patrons to order a beer or go to the bathroom.

The original owner was born in 1974.

we need a beer garden that is not just big, but secluded.  I'm thinking of the one like George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville.  THAT is a good biergarten.

As a former Fayettevillian, I concur.  George's Majestic is one of the great unsung beer gardens in this part of the country.

If it wasn't for Arnie's I'd be celebate. []
