Sat February 14 at 7:30 PM, Pacific Standard
82 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, USA (Map & Directions)
It appears that I am going to be finding myself alone on Valentine's Day night in NYC. Let's drink!
I'm coming up to NYC for the weekend, but as most of my NYC friends are all cozily coupled up, I find myself at loose ends on the evening of the 14th. What better time to have a meetup?

I'm open to pretty much anything... drinking? Bowling? Any cool events?

Pub quiz team extraordinaire The Love Song of Jay Street-Metrotech is in possession of a $200 bar tab for winning a season (thanks largely to the efforts of my +1 and 1970s Antihero). Perhaps we could see if the bar would let us redeem it on Valentine's Day, if you don't object to having couples along, and if Antihero also agrees? $200 of Mefite booze sounds romantic to me.

Ferret branca - That sounds like fun! What bar is it for?

It's called Pacific Standard; it's in Brooklyn just off the Atlantic Ave transit hub. It's usually a little IPA-heavy for my taste most of the time--though not terrible right now--but I take $200 bar tabs where I find 'em. (They also have a liquor bar, but they are not expert cocktail makers.)

I'll be out of town that weekend, but enjoy your stay!

That place looks great. (I'm an IPA fan.)

What time works for people? 7:30? Is that too early?

Gotta email the bar owner later this week to check the date is okay for us to redeem our prize; he's apparently out of town. If there's a problem, there's always 4th Ave Pub next door, which is an old meetup standby.

We should be good for 7:30!

Y'all gotta bring your A game. Last time we did this we only spent ~$130 of the tab.

Also, note: they say it might be a bit crowded because they're having a Chinese New Year party in the afternoon. I assume if it's somehow a disaster we could relocate.

The beauty of NYC public transportation: I fear no $200 bar tab challenge.

FYI - I'm considering hitting up Dinosaur BBQ on Union before heading up for Happy Fun Beer Time if anyone wants to join me in some Serious Meat Eating.

Can probably join you! Will confirm tomorrow. Mmmm, Dinosaur BBQ.

Sorry for the late notice. I'd love to join y'all for drinks if there's still room!

(The horror that is Valentine's Day kind of crept up on me this year.)

Count me in for the Dinosaur BBQ, that menu looks great.

Of course there is room, deathmarch! If we somehow run down our tab, people can just pay for drinks.
posted by ferret branca at 10:13 AM on February 14, 2015


count me in as well.

Sorry have to bail out... Something came up.

Have fun and have a few drinks on my behalf.
posted by TheLittlePrince at 3:41 PM on February 14, 2015


Dinosaur BBQ is packed, if anyone else is coming, we're going to order takeout to bring over to the bar.
posted by oh yeah! at 3:43 PM on February 14, 2015


We are in the back of the bar. Check in with me before you order.
posted by ferret branca at 4:31 PM on February 14, 2015


Last minute interruption, running just a bit late, there soon!
posted by deathmarch to epistemic closure at 4:40 PM on February 14, 2015


We killed the tab!
