I admit, I had some good times that started out on those vibrating recliners back in the day.

No, it's been "cool" since before I could go out drinking. Really it's just a normal pub that smells like armpit. It's an odd place where people still think it's alt but it's been really popular for years and years.

I don't think it's that people think it's alt. It's probably more just the "it's like a imagine a pub in England to be like this' so it's better and more pretentious.
Also I meant the quoted post in jest.

No, the Y bugs me too, but it was never named The Mynt. Throwing a random the in there bugs me substantially more than the Y. It's like saying "I bought a The iPhone yesterday". Why just throw the's around for no reason?
Also, where is this Bank that has been mentioned a few times?

It'd be a perfectly fine place if it didn't legitimately smell like armpit.

New condo buildings have dumb names, but realtors doing the same thing with those names GMG.
It's arriVa, not The arriVa. Argh!

I feel like this entire thread, pet peeves and all requires a '/firstworldproblems'
You know what I call it? Mint. Because thats the proper spelling. Arriva? Big 'v'? Screw that nonsense.

Yes, yes, I saw that after I posted it. I was within a few seconds of your post.

The little used back 'patio' (it was basically gravel with a tin roof) bar up that incredibly steep set of stairs above the dance floor was great. Rarely open, and often when it was it was a sort of half assed VIP area.

Outlaws on Wednesday nights was a great time. Show up at 9:00 for $1 shots and play foosball until everyone was nice and hammered and have a good time.
Wake up hungover on Thursday and decide if you actually want to go to class. Hit up Cowboys during the evening.
Repeat on Friday but go to the den.
Recover on Saturday and head to the Road House on Sunday.

Radiopark has been closed down for almost a year.
Back Alley is fun, but never go there as a DD, because it's terrible if you can actually see what's going on.
Vinyl is a super young club, I feel old when I go there (at 23).
I miss Tequilas.
