All right I thought maybe I should start a new thread for this;

For those of you who do not know yet. Recently a few business partners and I went together and Purchased a nightclub in Everett. It was once know as the Castle Casino. IT turned into an alternative bar about 14 months ago. THrough some very bad management it went down in flames about two weeks ago.

We were approached by the landlords and asked if we would consider taking over the establishment. After a lot of research we decided to move forward with the purchase.
We purchased the Castle on Monday and every intention of Opening this Friday for our first night on September 7, 2007.

Now this is not our official opening, it will be a soft opening with really only a few people knowing that we will be open. We are not quite ready for a full on opening yet. We still have to move the location of the existing bar before we can finish our liquor liscense.

What that means that if you are interested in coming out this weekend and seeing what is going on, I would really love it, however the restaraunt will not be in full swing yet, we will be serving a limited menue, but really good food by a profesional Italian Chef.

However hopefully by next weekend we can have the restaruant in full swing, and everyone can come out and enjoy the fantastic surroundings.

Hopefully we will see you all soon.

The wife and I will be there tomorrow night Victor!

Good luck with the new venture victor!

 

lol someone say bar?? and btw congrats on the business hope everything goes well for ya victor!!! but im working all weekend and its a heck of a drive to boot....

 

Actually goingt to bow out, gotta see a friend of mine I haven't seen in awhile! Sorry

 

well.. was there for a few hours helping out on a few things.... for a non-advertised opening... had a decent crowd show up tonight....
saw dougzilla and wife grab some food and go...

hopefully next time can hang out longer (dang work )

 

Victor, hope everything goes well with your new business venture, always thought it would be cool to own a nightclub. Do I here VIP Scion Nights? Wear Scion swag=no cover, lol. Sometimes I wish I lived farther north so that these things would be within reach, oh well.

 

The food was really good, can't wait for the full menu.

 

it was really great opening night and for not advertising we did really good. And yes thanks to Giovanni we had some pretty good food. All in all it was pretty good and thank you everyone for your well wishes.

 

i was the one cooking it... lol thank you....

 

Dang! I missed this!?!!

Long drive for me, Victor (and gang) but I absolutely do plan to make it up there. Be nice to have a little more info on the place, too - at least enough to know how to dress (or not).

Best of luck for the place!!!

And, uh,

goivanni was cooking lol that got me lol anyways victor it would be kinda cool to have like a scion vip nights i think alot of us would come up there plus that parking lot would be full of scions LOL people would be come over to see what was going on and probly stop in.

 

smallish parking lot... only like 4 spots paved... the rest gravel... tho no large holes that i've seen...

dress is causual to wild.. your choice

 

The "old" Castle had a website, I assume it came with the property and you will be taking it over?

At least there are some pics of it in the site gallery.

Keeping the same format, I assume, Victor?

Looks like it should be a kick. Haven't been to a GLBT club for years.

Have to check with you to make sure you'll be there if I decide to roll up there.

Tom

 

Wow! I gotta stop by here more often.. Too bad Everett is so friggin far from me. We will have to make a journey up there some time. Congratulations!!

 

thanks everyone. there is so much going on there right now. I will have a night for Scion owners, but not untill I finish some of the remodeling. I am trying to paint and We still have to move the placement of the bar before I get final approval for my liquor licsence. Which means I have two weeks untill the one that we have now expires.

That web site is really cool but it is not mine and I am affraid as to what he is going to do with that site. We changed the name to the Castle Ristorante and Lounge. no more nightclub. And unfortunatly we did not buy is from the previous operator, he went under from a few bad decisions. How ever we are running at full steam, and having fun, there are just not enough hours in the day to get things done. And not enough time to sleep and enough money in the bank lol for all of the things that I would like to do.

But the music is going, we have way better food now. Pino, Giovanni's father, is the chef and also a bussiness partner. So we have a fantastic italian menu being planed and dinner specials now every night that we are open. So I hope that you all can come up and see us soon.

 

Perhaps i could come up and do some cooking.......I miss working in a kitchen.......not sure how I went from culinary arts to building maintenance for a living........but I can cook.....got the belly to prove it........

Italian and Sicilian are some of my best dishes........

Make sure to get the good Scotch in the bar.........I like $20 a shot Scotch with a diet Coke.......don't ask....

Scion night sounds like fun........

 

He wouldn't dare carry my scotch - Laphroaig.

Lovely stuff - a lowlands single malt that looks almost like very strong tea and tastes like tincture of iodine that has been filtered through a peat bog.

now I am not sure that sounds so good .......LOL Iam going to carry some really nice stuff and we are getting more things that are truely Italian in, as far as liquor goes. Of course we will be carrying a very nice selection of wines from Tuscany.
