I spent a good amount of time in the window at the Saucer tonight talking to some of the managers of Jillian’s, and they gave me some information on major changes that are going to happen to the place:<\/p>\n
– First: The short-term news. They’re starting a bowling league Wed 9\/3 to 10\/22 (8 weeks). Starts at 10 PM. $100 fee per team. Cash prize for the champs. $2 shooters and drafts, $3 bombs during league play. If you want to sign up get by Jillian’s IMMEDIATELY, as league play starts Wednesday. If you can’t do it by then, they tell me it’s no big deal if you miss one week.<\/p>\n
– Now, on to the renovations. First, the best news of all… Club Atlas will soon be GONE. They’re moving the dining area where Atlas is, and opening up the windows to make an open-air patio similar to the Garden at the Saucer. WOOOHOOO! I’m sure the nightclub poser crowd will mourn the loss of Atlas.<\/p>\n
– The pool tables will remain but will move to the current dining area.<\/p>\n
– The current dining area will become a banquet hall.<\/p>\n
– Unfortunately the 2nd floor game room will go away, as the 2nd floor of the mall is turned into Peabody suites.<\/p>\n
– The bowling alley will remain intact.<\/p>\n
– They want very much to get the type of crowd that the Saucer gets, which is a good sign since the Saucer has turned into more of a locals’ bar the past few years.<\/p>\n
That’s the quick summary of what I was told. Sorry for the lack of updates over the weekend, but I was drunk.<\/p>\n
