Lemon Grove 2013

Yes, very poor service. So-So food somewhat overpriced. Drinks were way overpriced after moving into the new location. On 2 occasions I had the bar help "round up" drink prices. I bought a drink for $4.75 and gave them a twenty. I got 15 dollars back in change. They expanded too big too soon.

There is no mystery why it hasn't succeeded as a restaurant. Very poor service. End of discussion.

Greyland?

The Lemon Grove was cool  when the arts crowd was there.

With the arrival of Guys, the crowd changed (and shrunk).


Where do the artist hang out now?

The owner may say he is not going out of business but he reminds me of a boxer who has already been knocked down 3 times
in a fight. Sooner or later you eventually get knocked out.
Maybe he should write to Spike TV and get on the "Bar Rescue" program.

Apparently the Lemon Grove, no matter what name it goes by should just look to move to a new location outside the downtown area.

 Big article about the Lemon Grove in today's Vindicator.

Someone told me today that the name is being changed to Knox.   It may become more of a sports bar.

I don't know, but I had the impression that the building was originally named the Knox Building.  Maybe, under the EIFS, there is a stone with the name Knox carved into it?

The old location had a feel to it. The new location with the addition of Guy's BBQ makes the place feel like it doesn't know what direction it wants to go.

I recently visited the Lemon Grove Café.  The place has really changed.  I liked it better at the old location.
