Larry's 110 St Bar & Grill
Disappointing to hear it's going the way of a hostess bar. I haven't been in a while but used to like the place as the prices were high enough to keep the TEFLers away.

It's definitely not a TEFLER crowd, the average age of male patrons around the bar is about 50.GMJS-440 wrote:Disappointing to hear it's going the way of a hostess bar. I haven't been in a while but used to like the place as the prices were high enough to keep the TEFLers away.

But ricecakes can't be referring to me. I'm not a fan of the place and have been there 2-3 times only, and each time i was dragged unwillingly. GM's latest report that it's verging on hostess bar territory makes me even less inclined to go in future.

I personally don't see how it's becoming a hostess bar. But if it is, doesn't that mean you'd start spending more time there?! Anyways, I like the place but I used to like it more when the gavinmac types stayed away. It's gotten a bit lame since those guys have taken a liking to it. Now I've always got some weirdo sitting next to me...
Oh, I also don't get the whole "average age is 50" joke which a lot of people keep repeating. There are tons of younger guys in there and I doubt the four or five well-known 70-year-old regulars of the place bring the average up that much...

People keep repeating it because it's absolutely true. There are virtually no younger guys in there.LexusSchmexus wrote:I personally don't see how it's becoming a hostess bar.

I find myself wondering though, on an average night, how much more business does Larry's do than the bar, um, right across the street? It wouldn't surprise me if they average about 10X as much. It has to be at least 5X. I know it's a bigger venue, bigger investment, etc., but still. They place must be doing very well.

I came, I argued, I'm out
Was in there last night, very busy. I wish they would get Anchor on tap.

Here's another bit of news that may blow everyone's mind. I've heard that after 1030 or so on weekends, they serve breakfast.

I am a big fan of Larry's Food. Some of the best Western eats in PP IMHO. Unfortunately I just don't like the atmosphere there. He has obviously invested a lot of $$$ in making the interior nice, but I just do not like the jaded ex-bargirl vibe it has.
Nothing wrong with hostess bars; some can be fun on the right night. Others suffer from bored inattentive staff more content to gossip among themselves. At a decent restaurant I should be able to get a smile and some minor chit-chat without having to buy a lady's drink.
Because of this, even though I find the food at Larry's superior I dine much more often at Cadillac or Garage (for Burgers) when I want western grub.
The same for other places like Cavern (When they served food) and Shanghai. I ate at Cavern once and swore never again. The grub was decent enough but the pounding, ear bleeding dance music and the annoying girl trying to "Cheers" me with an empty hand as I ate my meal made the experience far too unenjoyable.
Ate at Shanghai once and it seems they train the girls to not bother you while you are eating (an improvement from my experience at Cavern), but it was really weird having 5 girls clustered around me across the bar as I tried to eat; eagerly waiting like vultures for me to finish so they could start the "Where you from?" spiel.
At least at Larry's they (for better or worse) ignore you unless you chase for their attention and they keep the music enjoyable and at a reasonable level.
Bottom line -- If I want a hostess bar -- I go to a hostess bar and will send a girl out for rice, noodles or chicken if I get the munchies.
If I want a decent meal --- I don't want the hostess bar environment and approach to service. I want to enjoy my meal in a friendly, cheerful place.
Cheers,
RD

i don't see it as going down the hostess bar road.... to the contrary, they have just purchased a fantastic new gas grill and smoker that will be set up outside. there will be even more emphasis placed on the food, that is in many peoples opinions, already some of the best in town.
there will be week end bar bq's and Larry is working every day on adding to his "in house / home made" ingredients list.
ther are however a few more "hotties" that are behind the bar and on the floor. i think that's a good thing!
just because she is pretty and smiles at you doesn't make her a whore.
she might just be doing her job... serving you food and drinks.

Why, oh why, didn't I take the Blue pill?

They have 4-5 attractive girls wearing short shorts and tight midriff baring tops who spend most of their time around the outside of the bar flirting with dudes for lady drinks.

It's been there for months, and still not used.

No, they do indeed have a new, very expensive Weber grill.

That would make 3 grills then.
Last time I was there (a month ago?) they had two standing outside, one small, one large, neither of which had ever seen a piece of meat.
