I did hear some people complain about the faucet...I liked it. <BR/><BR/>But yes, continued execution is going to be the key. What's this place going to look like in 18 months? Still happening on the beer side? Two points to consider on that angle: Teresa's itself looks good, and continues to be very popular after ten years; and whether Next Door is still hot on good beer is going to be somewhat dependent on how well that beer is received and how well it sells. Putting good beer in place does not mean it's going to sell; this reliance on the "Field of Dreams" theory of beer-selling has dogged craft beer for over a decade. Grow up and take some responsibility; I suspect Teresa's, backed by Matt Guyer's expertise and experience, will do just that.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-33025800576425137782007-06-07T08:21:00.000-04:002007-06-07T08:21:00.000-04:00I actually did find the little lock on the door, w...I actually did find the little lock on the door, which may be the smallest I have ever seen on a door. The bathroom is way cool regardless of if you can figure out how to lock the door after your 4th Nugget on cask.Matt Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323264995353923592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-57521063448860126992007-06-07T07:12:00.000-04:002007-06-07T07:12:00.000-04:00Great review for a pre-opening!

I believe in the picture that I took, if you look ever-so-closely, you'll see the little pinhead of a locking mechanism. (Supposedly, it works!)<BR/><BR/>Yes, I as well, cannot wait to return. They certainly seem to have all the right pieces in place. Continual execution will be the key in a well-trained market.Bryan Kolesarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063224838193829628noreply@blogger.com
