This town is a changin
Here are my predictions on the scene in San Diego:
I forgot where I heard it from, maybe the City Beat, or San Diego Reader in the Blurt section, it may have even been someone's myspace bulletin but Beauty Bar new management tactics of upping the bar tab displaced the quirkier artists and promotion acts and is now targeting main stream SDSU students.
Judging by the pics people have pointed out to me (I haven't been to Beauty Bar since 06?) I'm thinking its going to go the way of Bar Dynamite before they enforced a dress code. It's a more main stream dive bar where you can wear shorts and sandals to. I have a friend who's sad about having the place become more "normal" but there's all sorts of new places opening and all the previous Beauty Bar regulars aren't homeless. I don't plan on going there anytime soon until I get invited there for a birthday or something like that.
One of the places they've gone to is The Office. Built on top of what used to be Scolari's it's been seen as single handedly dividing North Park or at least that's how it's Yelp page is making it out to be. As soon as I can I'll try to get some pictures up of the new place.
Owners of Whiskey Girl have taken over Martini Ranch and turned it into Double Deuce. I find this amusing because we used to joke about Martini Ranch looking partly like a Whiskey Girl for younger people and that the remodel it went through made it a bit schizophrenic. So far it's the only country bar in town and while it looks pretty dead from the outside the place is still barely a month old. I haven't seen major marketing yet so maybe its just a soft opening?
