Impatient Brooklynites Demand Satisfcation: WHERE'S OUR BEER HALL???

pic via Ber'n Poor Beleaguered Facebook Page This should make you want to set fire to the nearest person who pisses you off today or, at the very least, it should def make Spike Lee want to never set foot in his home borough again. Right, I'll get to the point.

A new mega beer hall is slated to open in Crown Heights like any day now. Aptly called Berg'n (it's on Bergen Street), the hall's website describes the establishment thusly: "A beer hall from the creators of the Brooklyn Flea and Smorgasburg featuring the food of Asia Dog, Mighty Quinn's, Pizza Moto, and Ramen Burger."  Yes, yes, Brooklyn boners all round. Apparently it's going to be huge and according to The Awl, people in the hood have taken to social media to righteously bitch about it not opening on time. 

If you look at the Facebook page (which already has 3,986 likes), it says that Berg'n was set to open sometime in March of 2014. Fast forward to July and it looks like their doors are still closed. Now most reasonable people would just accept the fact that opening shit in NYC takes a cart-load of time and permits and certifications especially when alcohol and food is involved. But the new creative class residents of Crown Heights sponsored by the Brooklyn Flea and Goldman Sachs are being a bag o' dicks about it.  

As a matter fact, the most recent comment on the Facebook page reads: "Will you be open for the 2018 World Cup?" How clever. That got 29 likes and the following response: "They never reply to when you ask when are you going to open. Yet you post pictures they are the most disorganized people. Being so delayed with this place. Don't even have the decency to reply to your future customers." No, it wasn't just you not reading it right, that commenter was so enraged that the comment doesn't even make sense.

The Awl does sum it up nicely: 

Delays, whatever, something about the DOB: It's just taking a little while to open the doors to this bar. But that is just fucking UNACCEPTABLE for Brooklyn's Lifestyle Elite. They demand their beer hall NOW NOW NOW.

My advice: Chill the eff out and go to one of the other 15 places you can bike, walk or train to while you're waiting. In the end, they're all kind of the same anyway.
