Search for a new meet location??? - Page 4 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

sperry · 2010-02-08, 06:49 PM

No way I'm parking in that lot at night. It'll be like Thursday night farmers market for the local car stereo thieves.

Dean · 2010-02-08, 07:24 PM

OK, search continues. I give up on casinos.

Oh, the place that replaced Sullivan's, "Rub's Pub and Grille" is dead. I keep forgetting to go by the old 4th turn location and check it out.

dknv · 2010-02-15, 11:45 AM

Dean, did you check out Coach's BBQ? I saved a flyer from them because I like good bbq now and then, and wanted to check them out. Besides BBQ items, their flyer menu has chicken wings, 'homemade' fried chicken and catfish. Also, fried pickles, fried green tomatoes, fried okra, sweet potato pie. 25% discount for UNR students on Wed/Thu. And something called 'BBQ House Bonus Bucks' (maybe they are affiliated with the BBQ House).

Dean · 2010-02-15, 11:56 AM

Yes. They have other stuff, but the menu is very limited, and it is not a particular appealing place.

MattR · 2010-02-15, 12:43 PM

We need to try and find somewhere in or nearly in the McCarran loop, that would be ideal, but I've been looking and nothing seems to fit the bill.

knucklesplitter · 2010-02-15, 01:39 PM

As suggested before - the Hacienda and Flowing Tide combo on NW McCarren. The Hollywood Video there is closed down, so there is a decent sized vacant parking lot within short walking distance.

Kevin M · 2010-02-15, 01:43 PM

This is true. I heartily recommend a pseudo-meet to test this idea.

Dean · 2010-02-15, 02:27 PM

Tide would be great, and we had a contact there at one point, but any UNR game Thursday, the place is going to be packed...

sperry · 2010-02-15, 04:32 PM

Flowing Tide tends to be a little expensive. We used to have meets there and that was a complaint back then. They've only gotten more expensive. Figure $15 for a burger, drink, tax and tip.

I've never been to the flowing tide or the hacienda, but it is pretty close to my house, especially compared to the tamarack. Not that I'm a regular attendee or anything, I'm just sayin

The A&W that was on Kieztke did go out of business. I know the guys on nolimitimports.com meet at the A&W in Sparks on Tuesdays when the weather is nice. I think A&W even gives them a discount!

Sounds like how Bully's is now

SpecB#127 · 2010-02-18, 09:49 AM

As for PJ's, I think parking anywhere on Wells is kind of sketchy. I don't even like going down there in my beater 99 Accord

A1337STI · 2010-02-18, 02:13 PM

I really like the current meet location , though I'm assuming some peeps are looking for a change of food..

what's that place in the atlantis with really good roast beefs ? that could be a maybe...

Little philidelphia cheese steaks. the owner used to do some racing and chatted with Cody and I once lunch... but its small , not much parking, or food vareity...

Dean · 2010-02-19, 09:50 PM

Jack's Dinner across from Lithia Subaru is not an option.

Breakfast only, 7:00am - 4:00PM Looks liek a pretty decent breakfast place though.

norbeaster · 2010-02-20, 12:33 PM

I know I have never been to a meet (you will see me in the near future, I promise) But I just thought that Pierce's Pub off Mae Anne and Robb would be a pretty good spot. Their food is better than Bully's and the parking lot there is huge with minimal traffic at night.
Only draw back is the place is not huge and no pool table

.... just my 2cents.

Dean · 2010-02-20, 08:48 PM

Went to Fuddruckers tonight and talked with a shift leader, and got the General Manager's card.

Food is good, menu is not quite a varied as Sully's, but close. You can get a burger, fries and a drink/BEER for under $10 which I think was a goal and you can eat for a lot less.

In addition to great burgers, they have salads, chicken, steak sandwich, chicken strips, loaded baked potato, kids meals, etc...

They have a "party room" we can reserve for free with a TV or he said we could probably change one of the others on a Tuesday or Thursday night if the room was taken. Tues. and Thurs. are also pretty quiet or so he said.

The big room is a little loud, but not bad.

The Menu for the most part.

It is a little far east, but right off the freeway. This may be the best option we have seen in a while. At least a change of location.

Anybody else tried it?

cody · 2010-02-20, 09:05 PM

Buttfuckers would be half as far of a drive for me.

I will never be able to make a meet at Fuddruckers on time. I'd need it moved back to 7pm, and even then it's pushing it.

Plus, and Eric will probably poke my eye for saying this, I'm not a big fan of Fuddruckers. It's like the hamburger version of Chuck-E-Cheese, but you have to serve yourself. I dunno... maybe the Fuddruckers in Pleasanton just sucks more than the rest?

MattR · 2010-02-21, 05:23 PM

There's a new bar and grill called Woody's on McCarran between Glendale and Greg in Sparks, which actually ends up being pretty centrally located. I haven't had a chance to try it but it looks okay. Decent parking too.

Given Northbound traffic any time after 4:00 we will likely have to move back to 7:00 anywhere near I80 or north.

There are some advantages to everyone paying for their own food up front and the "serve yourself" drinks and awesome condiment bar in many respects are a plus for me and Kevin will only have to blame himself if his drink is empty.

Like I said, the food was pretty good.

Matt's place also sounds interesting, and the place over on Robb might be an option.

I haven't been in there in a while, but if they got rid of smoking, Cue and Cushion might be an option.

cody · 2010-02-22, 09:08 AM

I'm pretty sure you can't smoke in Cue and Cushion. I was there a couple months ago and everyone was going outside to smoke.

Cool. They used to have great burgers. Pool would give us some more social time as well. Anybody want to check it out this week?
