Great, thank you both! It's these kind of establishments (FilmBar, too) that help Roosevelt create an identity and differentiate it from places like Mill Ave. the restaurants and bars are great and needed, but you can find those anuwhere in the Valley. When mixed together, though, you get an eclectic, 24/7 district that will attract an eclectic crowd- unlike Scottsdale, for example, when you know exactly the type of crowd you'll see.
Wish they got a little more attention, but I'm hopeful they can hold on until we get more of a critical mass to support them, or I hope that I've underestimated their current customer base. Is there any outdoor space? There does seem to be a lack of patio areas along Roosevelt... That would really help ease the perception that it's dead.
At least we'll room for acres of patios with our shiny new 20' from the city soon!
