El Guapo is the new "Soundbites Cafe"

[billharnois.livejournal.com]

The sound bites guy bought El Guapo (which is next to the current Sound Bites). I guess he plans on turning El Guapo into the new "Sound Bites Cafe". I don't know any other details other than that. And I only know because there is a sign outside.

It also looks like Urban Gourmet is finally in construction mode. Though I don't consider it as big of a deal anymore, now that I know that City Slickers pizza is the same thing.

what about saturday night karaoke at el guapo? and delicious margaritas and chips & salsa? El Guapo wasn't the best food in the world, but it was handy for last minute weekend plans.

Sorry man, you can only go to Soundbites, Soundbites, Soundbites, or Powderhouse Pub. *shiver*

Shhh, don't make a fuss, dear. You can have Soundbites, egg, sausage, and Soundbites. That's not got much Soundbites in it! (Me, I love it! I'm having Soundbites, Soundbites, Soundbites, Soundbites, Soundbites, Soundbites, baked beans, Soundbites, and Soundbites!)

There is now a banner on the doorway of El Guapo, saying that it will soon be Soundbites Cafe.

It will probably make sense, after the move is complete, that Yasser will close both of the current Soundbites locations.

I won't miss El Guapo. They subscribed to the bar-owners' school of interior design, which is to make the whole space very dim and very loud. In the bar world, the darker and louder a place is, the more alcohol people will buy. I couldn't see the food, and I couldn't converse with my dinner companion.

Yes, the loss of Saturday night karaoke will be painful. Some friends were planning a birthday party for a girl this weekend and wanted karaoke, and when we discovered El Guapo was closed we had a helluva time finding another, comparable setting that featured karaoke on a Saturday (rather than just Wednesdays or Tuesdays). If the liquor license is transferred, it'd be nice if they could continue something like this...if it doesn't, karaoke and DJ Dan will certainly be missed.

I agree that I'll miss El Guapo. The food and service was never really that great, but it's nice to have a place like that in walking distance. I hope they keep the Karaoke. Though I've never heard of a "Cafe" that serves booze.

I've never had anything good at Victors. I've eaten there about 3 times for lunch, and it's always disappointing.
