Crazy Gringo is closed
 

Just read the crazy gringo is closed. With the concord casino crook losing his license. Thinking Anthony has finally purchased the building and will get the casino license he wants.

Huh?

What's this about a casino?

Read the 1-5-24 Laconia Daily news,

Thanks, I found it: https://www.laconiadailysun.com/news...fa244676c.html

The article says he has musical performances and dances there now.

I wonder whether there would be much interest in holding so-called "underground raves" there overnight?

Have a DJ spinning EDM for eight or so hours while hundreds of young-uns work themselves into a frenzy.

They've been quite popular out west.

Did the issue have anything to do with Sanborn.
I thought Laconia was unsure of whether it met zoning.

I believe that Laconia found that it does meet zoning and they just have to wait out the licensing process and the background checks.

There are lots of changes going on in the Weirs....

Yes, Gringo is closing. Yes, Anthony is leasing the space. No, Anthony doesn't own the building. I am sure he will have right of first refusal once the family that owns the building decides to sell.

As for the Casino idea... I don't believe there is enough parking to support a Casino in the Weirs.

Lots of other changes as well... Ellacoya will be running the Boardwalk down by the Weirs beach sign. Dox will be taking over Anthony's on the Pier, The family that was running Anthony's will be moving to where Bar Salida was. Compass Cafe is in going to change hands as well although to whom yet is not clear.

Yes there are many positive changes happening at the Weirs. Agree with you on the parking issue.

Positive
 

I agree with positive!

Good luck to them all!!

A casino is not a good idea, The Weirs is a special place ,it needs to attract tourists more than gamblers.

The gambling is probably something that he has investigated and it fits with the current subgroup of customers in his other businesses.

Charitable casinos are not worth going to as the odds on table games are worse than in REAL casinos.

I was shocked to see how bad the odds were at the craps table at the old dog track some years ago.

Heard that the Tower has bought it and will be reopening a new restaurant, something about an ohmage to Nothin' Fancy? Don't know much but that is the rumor that I have heard.

I have been waiting for years for Fun Spot to come out and announce the Bingo Hall building will be a casino.

Not saying they are, not saying they are not, and I do not have any information just saying I'm very surprised it has not happened yet

You might just see the Gringo move across the street into the Compass space.

Thats the word on the street... Not sure if it will keep the Crazy Gringo name. There was another player vying for the Compass spot as well. We will have to see what happens when the Gringo owners get back from a well-deserved vacation.

I hear that it's a done deal and paperwork was signed prior to that vacation.

I was just told that Compass is staying for another summer, from someone that was looking to take it over.

Maybe we should start a pool to predict what's gonna happen there! [emoji6]

Mike has been talking to her, I toured it with him a month ago. He was considering it and seemed close, but it sounds like she wants to run it again this year.

Wait, we can gamble on whether or not we will be able to gamble? This is the greatest thread in the history of the Forum !!

No .. Views from the C-Nile is the greatest thread in the history of the forum. This one could potentially be the second greatest. Ladies and gentlemen...place your bets!!!

I will bet a box of your favorite boxed wine that the Gringo isn't going there :cheers:

I can only relay what I hear, but as you know cab is the wine of choice! [emoji57]

So...does this mean you accept the bet?

I already know the outcome...the wine is mine!

I concede. The wine is yours.

I hear they have opened up as " The Clubhouse"!

Have any native Americans attempted to get tribal status established in NH and then leverage that to open a casino?

Are there enough descendants of the original tribes left to do so?

Only takes a few...consider how they did it at Mohegan Sun.

The land where to former King's Grant would make a great spot to build a tribal casino: it's close to the Weirs but not too close.

Maybe they could do that with the drive in property and avoid digging artifacts all together.

We went to the opening night. Limited menu. Mike is helping to get them going and is working there part time.

We have casinos in NH.
