| The outdoor area used by the former Common Space. |
A new gay bar called "PRIDE Forest Hills' Gay Bar and Lounge" will be opening the weekend of the 26th in the Forest Hills "mall" on Austin St., where Common Space lounge used to be. I am told it is owned by the same person who owns the nearby Corfu Grill.
Common Space used to make really nice use of the outdoor space in the back. I'm trying to find out more details about PRIDE, including if they will be using that space, but that seems like a nobrainer.
Nice! Another reason to love our diverse and all-inclusive 'hood!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's pretty significant. Besides the inclusiveness factor, the last club-type place I can recall on Austin Street was Heskel's, and that was in Prehistoric times.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so happy, proud, and excited!!! GO FOHI!
ReplyDeleteIs it the same owner as Corfu next door? They proudly fly a rainbow flag in their window.
ReplyDeleteNever mind...just read the caption that says it is the same owner as Corfu.
ReplyDeleteJust what we need Another BAR> Ever walk Austin around 2-3 AM-I would never want an apartment near there.
ReplyDeleteAustin St. after 11 pm on a weeknight is not what you'd think. A bad crowd hangs around 5 Burro and a few other bars. They are DEFINITELY not local residents. I've heard of drug dealing going on at these places late at night.
DeleteNo Bueno.
ReplyDeleteWhy?
Deletethey're starting to clear out the backyard of twist'd and smash'd.
ReplyDeleteYes!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what to make of it just yet. Looking at the logo, understated is not probably not the mo. Hopefully we can all get along?
ReplyDeletethe closed thai place on austin looks like its being turned into...another thai place with Siam in teh title.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who owns Corfu is a sexy bear type, I've always wondered (hoped?) if he was gay. Hmmm...
