It seemed like a big April Fool's joke, but it wasn't. The bar that we called home for the past 10 years was shutting its doors. Simply put, Ship of Fools was truly a second home to me, and I was sad for Glenn to be losing his business and for myself and the team for losing our bar.
We were lucky enough to land at Blackstone's to finish out the season, but somehow we all felt like we were destined for someplace else. So, we put together a committee, made a plan, and looked for a new place to call home.
Last night we found our new home in Society Billiards + Bar, at 10 East 21st Street. For many reasons, we are psyched to be playing here. First and foremost, it is not a typical "darts bar," but a classic and classy pool hall. There is a darts section that we will use which is very cool. A little nook that is ideally set up for our weekly game. Plus, there are TV's everywhere, a stocked bar, and a menu full of paninis. Not to mention that it is right around the corner for Fred, Turner and Braley.
So, thanks to Doug the owner, for hooking us up. I haven't been this excited about a new darts season for a long time.
