Yeah, how great for all the people who live in FOREST!!! Nice that my favorite local bar gets shut down because it’s ran by a couple of crackheads, now it’s been moved out of town.
And what happend to the place where it The Dahlia’s been for over 50 years??
It’s been boarded up! No plans for that place in the future!
I don’t know how this happend but it SUCKS!!! I really miss The Dahlia, but I’m not driving all the way out to Forest just to go to some place that shares the name.
The original is now open in the original spot…remodeled, looks great inside, great food (the people who own blue marlin own it, so check out the seafood), atmosphere and beer, wine, spirits…also, not owned by crackheads anymore ; ) check it.
It’s nice to see that the Dahlia is opened back up on Bedford Avenue, I GUESS.
The beer is way overpriced and the atmosphere SUCKS!!!
Look, you can only polish a place like that so much. The place should have reopened like it was meant to be: a dive bar.
Staple some christmas lights to the ceiling, fill the fridge with Pabst, and put in a jukebox. Instead we have dining tables and overpriced booze.
It’s not a fancy fucking diner, it’s a tiny bar on Bedford Ave.
If this place goes down again, maybe I’ll buy it.
yeah, guys, this place has never had anything to do with The Dahlia, aka The Dirty D. The Blue Dahlia was opened as a restaurant with no affiliation with the “crackheads” who ultimatly ran the D into the ground. Please appreciate this restaurant and the new Dahlia for what they are, separate and independant places for good food/spirits/friends.
