northernraider Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I remember eating at one in the twin cities a couple years ago. The best I remember was food decent, kinda more upscale then Green Mill, and seemed like a good bar scene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writing was on the wall when, after they re-opened, management made no effort to reach out to the community. Would have required one heck of an apology and a crap-ton of coupons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a smart decision to sell, as that was bad publicity to overcome, even if it improved and exceeded standards. Edit: Crooked Pint is a sister restaurant chain, as it it listed on the Green Mill gift cards as such. Those cards will still be good at Crooked Pint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only have been in there a couple of times during the wine walks and never once thought about it any other time. I am glad to see Sickies doing so well.

When I came to college in the early 90's it was a pretty popular place to go. East side in general was popular. They still had The Antique then as well. Post flood it has struggled.

sprig Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Both will stay open to begin with, but I'd be shocked if the Columbia Road location remained open for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I had an opportunity to leave that location, I would in a heartbeat. It rivals the corner of Washington and Demers as the worst location to have a business in the Grand Forks Area.

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Slightly off topic, but has anyone been to the Sickies in Sioux Falls? It's huge! And doing well, by all appearances. Happy to support an ND-based business. I really do hope the GF location sticks around. Parking at EGF can be just as challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
