The service at the old location was much better. I only ate once at the new location and service was not the norm. The atmosphere was also not as celtic as the old facility. But, then the old facility was a hang out for family get togethers.
Your post on smoking bans is so much more than a "nod to nothing..."
At last night's hearing, several people mentioned this thread about the REAL reason Molly Quinn's is on the ropes. Thanks for getting the ball rolling....
I often get bad links to our blog through Blogger (a glitch in the software somewere), I recommend people find us on the MNSpeak Aggregator.
PS: Our speakers nailed it at the Hennepin County smoking ban hearings last night. A long list of political leaders -- including S. Humphrey, Dave Thune and Arnie Carlson -- told the commisioners to leave the ban as is. Many doctors, experts and regular people (including wait staff) said the same.

The ALA posted in my comments about the smoking ban and Molly Quinn's. Although I didn't spell it out, my intent was to note that I was pretty sure what sank the bar/restaurant was not the smoking ban, but truly atrocious service. After reading the MNSpeak comments, it doesn't seem as though I'm the only one to feel that way: "The last time I was there we were totally ignored by the wait staff and made to seem not welcome while they chatted with their regulars. I just assumed it was the poor customer service that would kill their business." "Every time I've been, the service was really slow unless I was sitting at the bar. Exceptionally slow for breakfast...Three times in a row I asked for my drink and it was her 4th visit back that she brought it. Half hour to get a drink. When I joked about it at my table, others shared their Molly Quinn's poor service stories."
