Thanks to Cookies for today’s musical break. “We created a bar [with Spuyten Duyvil] that wasn’t a dive bar, sports bar or frat bar which most beer bars were at the time. The vibe is much more cafe-like, there are a lot of women who go there, we have a pretty serious wine program by the glass. We had to do everything; we couldn’t just have good beer.” [4:45] — Joe Carroll on The Main Course See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
