Baby-fresh bar Gypsy Parlor, hosting its first show this past Saturday (featuring much-loved bands Aircraft, Space Wolves, and Merchants), could not contain its crowd. The turnout was as impressive as the decor and general vibe. A huge bar (offering somewhat over-priced drinks--boo) spans the entire front room and old-timey portraits of seductive gyps litter the whole place, reminding you at all times where you are if you're ever to smashed to recall.
The Parlor is still in the midst of its soft opening with its grand opening scheduled for October 17th. Until then, you can count on a sweet hangout spot every weekday after 5PM and on Sunday for Bills games after 4PM. And if you're looking for your hometown Mystery Science Theater fix, every Monday, fabulously shitty movies will play on the projector placed over the stage for your drunken ridicule.
Alas, The Gypsy Parlor is another addition to sketchy-free businesses like Westside Stories, Sweetness_7, Black Dots, good ole' Guercio's, and the various shops spreading their way up Grant Street. Westsiders rejoice! A reformation is in effect as we live and breathe. Best of luck to the new Parlor; visit often and drink freely.
Cheapo hipsters complaining "somewhat over-priced" drinks = LAME.
"Sketchy-free" or do you just mean no black people, you gentrifying hipsters can go go kiss my ass.
Not allowing people that actually live in the neighborhood to enter and buy over priced drinks = LAME
THINGS ARE GOOD! SOME STUFF NOT! WE DO STUFF! I LIKE PIZZA!
haters need to fuck off, time to get excited about a new place for live music!
It's easy to say stupid insulting things when you hide behind Internet anonymity, isn't it? This article, (for the most part) is celebrating a new place for local music, in an area where venues having been dropping like flies. You can support the local scene, or you can keep drinking your own piss, basement dwellers.
