Fall Out Bar
NY Mag broke the sad news that our local neighborhood nightlife scene was about to deteriorate further, as one of the most beautiful People, Pete Wentz, has decided to invade the East Village with a bar that serves as a refuge for society's cast offs. We support the idea of inclusiveness, naturally. It's just the Fall Out Boy part of the idea that hurts. Well, Wentz expanded on the bar's mission statement:
This is a bar for all the rejects, Whoever comes, comes...Awesome! So you can totally hang out with Fall Out Boy. Right, Pete?
...but basically, we can only hold 200 people, so when we hit capacity, we hit capacity.Got it. Get there early...
Though my friends will always get in.OK, so get there early, and hope Gym Class Heroes don't turn up? What if they come later?
Maybe we could just toss the boring people out. If you’re not dancing, there’s somebody else who will.Oh, cool. So you mean it'll be just like all those selective trendy bullshit places we already hate, only you'll be the one to own it. In our hood. This is great!
Whatever, of course we're still curious. Thanks to this UrbanDaddy review of Angels & Kings, we know what to expect.
So you may have already heard about a bar opening Friday in the East Village owned by a few bands and their managers called Angels and Kings. We got past the door (and the name) to tell you what you can expect.We'll stick to Hi Fi, thanks.Launched in part as a hangout for the members of Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is... and Gym Class Heroes, Angels and Kings—or AK-47, as the kids are calling it—is your chance to sip a cheap bottle of beer and chat up attractive TRL aficionadas. The signature touches of the large and divey one-room bar are framed mug shots of the likes of Johnny Cash, Jimi Hendrix, Sid Vicious, Lil' Kim and Frank Sinatra (thank you, public records). Also mounted on the wall: a jukebox so you can play songs from the guys who own the place—or better yet, the ones featured in photographs.
From 5 to 8 p.m., bartender Dan Ryan (Bowery Ballroom, Mercury Lounge) will serve up two-for-one drinks (including a solid Dark and Stormy). As for entertainment, you won't lack for it here: The bar will host impromptu acoustic shows; "Starlette Sundays," a gathering of NYC lesbians (and you thought you had little interest in Pete Wentz); karaoke battles and a Sinatra night the first Monday of every month.
Old Blue Eyes and Gym Class Heroes—together at last.
Angels and Kings, 500 E. 11th St (between Aves A and B), 212-254-4090

Sounds like a waste of time. I don't think the owner even has half a clue what he's getting himself into, nor what he's talking about. It's sad.

I think, as a rule of thumb, a person that sends photos of his privates be automatically excluded from the list of most beautiful people. But, rather, should be rewarded with some TV time on "To Catch A Predator."

there is a place where you and your friends can hang out and get starry eyed 14 years olds drunk without being completely ridiculous, it's called your living room.

Tattoos, eye liner, dating bimbos and exposing yourself on the internet do not make you a rock star. However living with your mom and being one of the most hated people in popular culture do make you Pete Wentz.

one of those bands that I've never met anyone who gives a flying sh%t about. really, who listens to this crap? a bar on the LES for "all the rejects"? the very thought makes me want to puke. could a place open up which is trying harder, somehow, to cater to the sleaze rock crowd more than every LES bar already is? shudder to think...
when this guy says "rejects", what he means is trust fund kids with endless money, sleeves of tattoos, questionable taste in...everything...and no idea what they fukk they're talking about.

"What it is says:
in related news...
I live on Avenue A and 13th and walking by on Monday night I noticed the opening of Wentz's bar was going down. There were gaggles of paparazzos and dolled up 16-20 year old girls with camera phones waiting outside.
A disgruntled East Village girl who lived above the bar leaned out of her window and threatened to throw a bucket of water on the people below.
After sitting in his black SUV for half an hour, Wentz stepped out and posed under the awning. Just as the flashbulbs went off, the East Village girl stuck her head out and threw a bucket of water on the crowd below. It was hilarious.
Wentz's eyeliner was spared under the awning and his douchey grin remained unfazed.
I guess the most we can hope is that this worked as aversion therapy for the burgeoning groupies below.
It wasn't bathroom sex, but it made my night."

Ok yeah the idea of Peter Wentz making a bar makes me seriously want to puke, and isn't he sXe anyways? But i still love Fall Out Boy and Peter is still cool and you people make fun of him because he doesnt appear as you would want him, but you see him as this rich little emo pussy. I mean cmon people get a life. You dont even know the guy. I personally know Peter and hes actually one of the sweetest guys I know. and you say "oh this guys band blows and is a disgrace to the word punk", but id like to see you fucking write award winning songs. Oh by the way, Peter didnt post the pictures of himself on the internet and if he did, why the fuck would he cover it up? And he doesnt live with his parents anymore either, he has a really nice house in LA that you would have seen on MTV cribs. So get it right people. GET IT RIGHT.
