chance-signage-1109.jpgThere’s been a lot of speculation (in a neighborhoody, chit-chatty sort of way) about the sports bar that’s going to be opening soon on Fulton Street between Vanderbilt and Clinton Avenues in Clinton Hill, so we were interested to receive the photo at right yesterday of the new signage being installed. Just to make sure they we’re only going to 11, we rode by this morning to regard the handiwork ourselves and, sure enough, the name’s “Chance 11″—anyone have any ideas what that might be a reference to? The sign might be a little flashy for our taste but at this point we’re 100% rooting for any business that can generate foot traffic and stimulate the local economy in this part of town. On a related note, this block as a whole has really come a long way in the last few years, hasn’t it?

  2. Visiting from out of town but still luv BK 4 life.
    Stopped by this new bar Chance 11, glad to see that new businesses are still opening with all that is going on with the economy. Had a great time, the food is tasty and affordable and it has a great atmosphere. Good luck and look forward to returning with my friends and family!!!!!

  3. @billions & billions: if only they WOULD show Champions league matches! I can only hope. I would bet there are enough footy fans to give them business for the weekend games, despite the early starts. Look at Nevada Smiths. Do a breakfast/lunch menu, advertise the games, and they’ll have an entirely separate stream of customers from the regular US sports fans that will come later in the day for the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL.
