After months of anticipation, Dear Mom finally opened their doors last night to a crowd of overjoyed neighbors.  And while they still have a long way to go (they still don't have a permit to sell booze, so they were just giving it away/their cash register is literally a cardboard box/they don't have their liquor shelves setup yet), it's got a lot going for it.  The place is massive (its legal capacity is nearly 250 people), it's got multiple giant tables to sit at, the pool table is brand-spankin-new, it's on your way home from work, and the bar staff is cool has hell (rumor has it thrifty globetrotter and television superstar Broke-Ass Stuart is even picking up a shift there).

Plus, they got a 4-foot-tall Connect Four game and your mom jokes for days.

At the corner of 16th and Harrison.  Do check them out.
