So it turns out the new owners of Sweetwater are none other than Smith Street superstars Jim and Paul Mamary, of Patois, Schnack, and Gowanus Yacht Club fame. I'm a fan of the Yacht Club & I hear great things about Schnack. But these guys seem way too yuppie (read: successful) to be taking over such a punk rock establishment. Schnack's even got its own blog. According to Time Out, the brothers Mamary will be serving escargot & chocolate martinis, among other things. If you ordered a glass of wine at Sweetwater they looked at you funny. They'd serve it to you eventually, in a highball glass or whatever else was around.
I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to hang out at the new Sweetwater. I don't know if I'll be able to avoid it either. I happen to like escargot & chocolate martinis. I'm also lazy, & I like going to bars that are right across the street from my apartment. So it's going to be an interesting dilemma.
Is punk rock establishment an oxymoron?

Nah, it's not an oxymoron, but it's best said while trying to talk a bouncer out of kicking your friends ass. Like as in "Look, you come to a punk rock establishment, you EXPECT a guy to pull his pants off and throw olives at people! He was just fufilling that role!"

Mind you, I'm pretty sure 'Choclate Martini' counts as an oxymoron....

Hey, thanks for the mention :) (Schnack). Paul and Jimmy have "restored" the place to how it "may" have looked in the 20's or 30's.. and put in an American Bistro type menu. Nothing to fancy, and nothing to expensive but all very tasty. I should know I've eaten there twice now...

i did spend an hour or so at the new sweetwater on friday evening. it was pouring out & it was quite cozy & lovely in there. everyone was super nice & one of the owners (i think it was jimmy) sent some shots over to my friend & me. cant complain about that!
