Bars in the news; Sexism at Mike and Molly's in Champaign

From the News-Gazette, discussion forum

Sexism at Mike and Molly's in Champaign

Sunday Sept 5 from 8pm until 1am witnessed the annual Prairie Jam music show at Mike 'N Molly's. Of the 20 or so players of musical instruments over the course of the evening, only one was a woman, and she played a relatively minor musical role. Emcee for the evening was the News-Gazette's Mike Howie. Long term NG employees Loren Tate and John Beck also attended.

The person who wrote that goes by selguy.

Comments below that are rather good. Selguy's aren't.

Champaign Liquor License Fee Increase

From the News-Gazette

Champaign council approves increase in liquor license fees


CHAMPAIGN – The cost of selling liquor for Champaign business owners will rise incrementally during the next four years after city council members Tuesday voted 6-3 to increase licensing fees.

The first round of occupancy-based increases will begin on Nov. 1, according to city documents. At that time, the cap on bar licenses will rise from $3,500 to $4,000 and the base fee for some restaurants will go up from $1,250 to $1,550.

Similar increases will occur every November until 2013.

That's about an increase of $2 a day. It may be an initial hard hit on the owners, but it should level out quickly.

Michael Murphy, owner of Mike N Molly's bar in downtown Champaign, said the increase is not likely to affect the price of drinks significantly. Other factors, like distributor prices and a slow economy, are much more likely to do so.
"This probably won't be the thing to make prices go up," Murphy said.
Of course, some places may use it as an excuse to raise prices.

During the meeting, Murphy told the council about his concerns with another topic: licenses for outdoor seating on city property. Mike N Molly's has seating on private property, and he said he pays much more for those seats than would a cafe with seats on a public sidewalk.

"I would like to see the playing field become a little more level," Murphy said.

Teri Legner, the city's economic development manager and deputy liquor commissioner, explained to the council that outdoor seating licensing fees were set when outdoor seating was first allowed more than 10 years ago and had not changed since then.

"It's probably the time to look at that," Legner said.

I can understand Murph's problem, he's got one of the largest beer gardens in town.

CU Beer Weekend; June 4 (NHL/NBA Finals)

It's the weekend. Well, almost. Where are you drinking? Where are you watching the Blackhawks? Do you even care about the NBA Finals?

If you are looking for a place to watch the NHL Finals, you'll have to be selective in your choice of bars. Not all of them have the Versus Network (for the games at Philly). After tonight, the rest of the games are on NBC.

Game 4 tonight will be fun to try to find.

I know it will be on at:

Hooters
Buffalo Wild Wings (both locations in CU)
Old Chicago
Crane Alley
Firehaus (official Blackhawks Bar)
Kam's (official Blackhawks Bar)
Jupiter's at the Crossing
Tumble Inn
Buttita's
Houlihan's

Places I know that won't have it are:

Radio Maria (although Jacob will yell out scoring updates)
Blind Pig
Blind Pig Brewery
Seven Saints
Mike n' Molly's

My recommendation for the best beer is, of course, Crane Alley. The best view is at Hooters, the best pizza is probably Jupiters at the Crossing, unless you like Old Chicago; the best wings is BW. The place that most smells like vomit is Kam's.

So find a place to sit back and watch the game; and go Blackhawks!

(I'm hoping it's on at Guido's)

CU Bars in the news; One-on-One with Mike Murphy, owner of Mike 'n Molly's

From the Buzz.

One-on-One with Mike Murphy, owner of Mike 'N Molly's

Mike ‘N Molly’s beer garden is a downtown Champaign staple. The bar has a reputable whiskey and beer selection and the beer garden features bands all summer long. While these are the well-known things about Mike ‘N Molly’s, buzz sat down with owner Mike Murphy to find out a little more.
Mike 'N Molly's is located at 105 North Market Street, in Champaign (it's not an alley).

They have one of the biggest beer gardens in town, and the location does block a lot of the long evening sun rays, with buildings to the west.

buzz What’s something the CU area might not know about Mike ‘N Molly’s?

MM: People can bring in their own food! We’re not affiliated with anyone, so bring whatever you want. If people want to have dinner in our beer garden, just bring it over. We don’t bite. We’re happy to have anyone come in.

They have a good beer selection, and some of the best Guinness in town. They offer live music many nights a week, and have some decent drink specials.
