Last Night At P'cheen

2/9/2014

 
Picture
My favorite hangout in Atlanta had its final day of business this past Sunday. Here are a few of the photos I took as lots of people gave P'cheen International Bistro & Pub a proper sendoff.
Picture
The three partners of Georgiaville Food Co.,
Keiran Neely,
Alex Friedman and
Mike LaSage, stand at the door of their beloved
Old Fourth Ward establishment.



Picture
The scene was crackin' outside.


Picture
All the crazy people, weirdos, artists, hipsters, hoodlums, intellects,... yeah, crazy people, called this place their bar.


Picture
Alex's wife, Jessica, clearly loves crazy people.


Picture
That's Old Fourth Ward resident and dope R&B singer Anthony David striking a pose by the bar for my badly exposed photo.


Picture
Fans and long-time customers had drank the bar out of almost everything the night before, except a few bottles of Tito's Handmade Vodka, Miller High Life, and a few others. That clearly didn't slow down the celebration.


Picture
At least one person in this photo was what they call "throwed" like a horseshoe.


Picture
The writing was on the wall, but so were the tallboy cans of High Life. We lived it.


Picture
Former employees came through to show love to Keiran and the crew.


Picture
My old bandmate Patrick and a clique of lovely ladies keeping it trill outside. Peep the fresh photobomb from my man Steven Sloss in the back.


Picture
Beer writer extraordinaire Ale Sharpton and Andrea Irvin couldn't believe they were drinking The Champagne of Beers, but it was all love.


Picture
Super-dope artist Dubelyoo and High Gravity Hip Hop founder Lenox Mercedes throwing it up.


Picture
Caren West and Chad David Shearer of Caren West PR representing for Alex and Team P'cheen. Someone in this picture thought they saw Miley Cyrus in the crowd, and put it on Facebook. We won't say no names...


Picture
CWPR client Matt Coggin of (the awesome) D.B.A. Barbecue in Virginia-Highland stopped by. That's my dude right there.


Picture
That's Chad again, not at all standing on a booth next to this couple he doesn't know tagging the wall with chalk. Definitely wasn't him with that whole Miley Cyrus thing...


Picture
P'cheen was awesome. It was highly representative of Atlanta's best potential in terms of multiculturalism and connections between good people from all backgrounds. Humble folks who just liked being in a great place with great friends.


Picture
Ale and the homie Ta$han tag the top of the wall near the kitchen. Andrea was like "Mike, please hurry and shoot the picture..." Cats were standing on the bar at this point.


Picture
My superfriend Amelia Turney from Joystick Gamebar, for whom I coined the phrase "TURN(EY) UP!" was guaranteed to be on the scene. She's the realest.


Picture
They actually let me DJ in this place a couple of times. People actually said it was good, although there was absolutely no scratching involved, and more like faded mixing instead of that whole continuous stuff professionals do. Gonna miss P'cheen.

By far my favorite caption:

"Beer writer extraordinaire Ale Sharpton and Andrea Irvin couldn't believe they were drinking The Champagne of Beers, but it was all love."

LOL
