Attention Comrades! For giving glory to great leader, the Mother Russia rewards you Proletarian worker with new party!
Tonight is the soft public opening of Czar Bar at 16th Street and Grand. It's a small venue run by two longtime bar-scene regulars, Tony Davis and John Hulston. While it's intended to be a rock-bar, there won't be any bands until next week, and they'll continue to tinker with the layout. It's already attractive and hip on the inside, and with this space and these owners, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the it place for the non-Power & Light crowd.
Pitch music editor Jason Harper went to the opening party Wednesday and snapped some photos. Enjoy them in the slideshow below.

Hey, just because of it's located downtown and doesn't have a name like "Wally's Pickle Pot" doesn't mean it's posh and yuppie and gross. Quite the opposite. The dudes who own it are laid back, down to earth, musically oriented, and in possession of good taste and manners. It's not at all your snooty, infused-martini bullshit zone. I like that it's clean, simple and mostly empty inside. There aren't even TVs (they could use some plants, though, I think). The jukebox is stocked with classics. I enjoyed an $8 po' boy there today for lunch and dug the jazz soundtrack. The only problem with the place today was that there weren't more people in it. Expect to see my fat, uncool ass there more often.
