RedScare Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/business/3255627New bar on Shepherd, near Westheimer. I'm so glad that all of my pretentious doctor and lawyer friends have a place to show off their bikes. Their fragile egos need constant massaging, so this place should help.The last sentence says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 my favorite quote from the article:"He imagines his typical customers to be couples who after dining at nearby Fleming's Prime Steakhouse are 'looking for a place to go to get a little nutty.'"what more could we ask for? - nutty RUBS!

From Websters: Main Entry: glitz - Extravagant showiness <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anglo bling. I love it. jt, my remark wasn't about rejection. It was about my theory on the amount of money spent on a woman being inversely proportional to the quality of the woman... ...as well as the type of woman you could expect to meet here, i.e., golddiggers hunt for gold in goldmines.

jt16 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I guess I just don't understand the negative attitude to Crome. Is it because it's not your thing? You won't see me there, but I can't blame, or judge, rich people for enjoying their money in ways that don't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevfiv Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Besides - it just sounds gay (silly) to ride a 30,000 dollar motorcyle to a bar to get a Martini & lobster taco haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREASER Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I can`t wait to see what type of crowd this place attracts. The bikers with money that I have seen are usually dressed up like Rob Halford, for those that don`t know who that is, lets just say the guys from Mary`s could fit in, and never be noticed. This is going to be to cool, can`t wait. (sarcasm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 i suppose it is because making fun of "RUBs" is so easy - and waiting for some folks from west alabama ice house to come and kick their asses might be entertaining as well <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, it is too easy. Besides, one who judge's his worth by his pretentious display of wealth deserves nothing less. However, it could be fun watching people who think hard work is carrying a laptop with a longlife battery in his briefcase, manuever those hogs and dogs around.

That could be a good topic for a short film. I have nothing against this bar. Their are plenty of other places I make fun of, but this one takes the cake.Long live West Alabama Ice House!

htownhottie Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 i think it funny that everyone that is ripping on this place has never even been there. In fact it is a really nice place, the staff, the interior design, the drinks, the music and ESPECIALLY the people. don't come down on something just because it isn't your idea of fun, or if maybe, just maybe you are a bit jealous. You don't hear those rich people talking poorly about your West Alabama Icehouse. If you have so much aggression about this place, simply don't go, you won't see us 'Fickle 500' at your dive bar.So what if some rich guy has a motorcycle, big deal. There is no difference in a rich man or a poor man owning something. I'm sure the rich man works just as hard for his money than the less wealthy, in fact, he didn't get rich doing nothing.And those gold diggers you like to poke fun at - don't forget that women work too. And not all of those pretty little faces are looking for a free ride. But then again if you offer the test drive honey, it is only polite to take the wheel.Perhaps you should go there, leave your pre-convieved notions of what kind of place it is, and enjoy yourself. Look at the nice bikes and have a drink. You might find that hte finer things in life aren't so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Obviously, htwonhottie, you did not get a chance to read the article since the link is expired.If those quotes fit you, then more power to you!Did you actually read it? It was far from flattering. In a round about way, they were actually making fun of the patrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I certainly didn't mean to insult a working girl like yourself. Perhaps I will come check the place out. How will I know which one you are? Do you want to give me a sign?
