Rumor: Biergarten Coming to Seven Corners Space
There’s a rumor making the rounds in Fort Greene right now that the former Seven Corners Hardware space at 710 Fulton Street is slated to become a beer garden, or at the least a German restaurant. (We’re not sure if there’s really space for a proper beer garden out back.) The rumor first surfaced on…
There’s a rumor making the rounds in Fort Greene right now that the former Seven Corners Hardware space at 710 Fulton Street is slated to become a beer garden, or at the least a German restaurant. (We’re not sure if there’s really space for a proper beer garden out back.) The rumor first surfaced on a Fort Greene blog and then popped up in The Forum last week. We’ve quizzed a few locals and small business owners in the area and it’s sounding like a pretty solid lead but it has yet to be confirmed by anyone involved in the venture. GMAP
“I’ve never had a bad experience in the 50 times I’ve shopped at Pintchik.”
I was just there Saturday as well. I’m done talking about Pintchik. I didn’t realize there could be such controversy over a hardware store. Don’t shop there. I really don’t give a rat’s a**.
In East New York’s defense – 11217 have you ever been to this place?
And before you use Citysearch as a gauge of a place’s customer satisfaction, check to see if the reviewers have actually reviewed other establishments.
Most of Pintchiks have only reviewed one place – Pintchik. Sounds like some shills to me. I find it highly suspect that one person could have such a horrible experience and everyone else would have such a GREAT experience that they would feel the need to create an account and write one, glowing review for an establishment, and not write anything ever again.
“Calm down, ENY.”
I am calm. And who said Pintchik was Bergdorf Goodman? You’re the one defending the place. I said it SUCKS. What are you talking about?
Calm down, ENY.
It’s a hardware store, not Bergdorf Goodman.
“German food? Meh; we already have Thomas Beisl a few blocks away.” Its not about the food its about the beer! And yes I love some Thomas Beisl.
“I’d take those reviews over those of someone who hasn’t set foot in the place in years.”
Well good for you. Please do so. If you’re a fan, that’s your problem. Popular sentiment is not an indication of quality. Like I said, Pintchik sucks – a lot, not a little – and I don’t go there. But you and the rest of the Citysearch Pintchik-boosters are free to spend as much there as you like. They’ll take your money with a smirk.
Seems like you are in the minority, East New York.
The overwhelming number of reviews on citysearch for Pintchik are great. Certainly not the be all end all, but I’d take those reviews over those of someone who hasn’t set foot in the place in years.
11217 – That sounds like a fantastic business model: A hardware store that offers complementary champagne and massages. Anyone want to invest some capital and make this happen?
I’ve found Pintchik sales staff to be very, very uneven. During the week, the second or third generation owner/manager is super helpful–I forget his name.
But some of the the older guys can act like they’re doing you a big favor by waiting on you OR offering any kind of advice–especially on the weekends when they’re busy.
This really started to annoy me when we were in the midst of heavy renovations and we were spending hundreds of dollars there every month. You think they could at least smile and say hello to a regular customer.
