Goodbye, Dear Friend
It’s news sad enough to ruin my day—no, my whole week. A little dish reader has informed me of this depressing development…
My very favorite bar in Dallas and the cornerstone of Exposition Park, The Meridian Room, closed its doors Monday. Sadly, the bar is a casualty of the DART line that’s being built there. (Now, that stupid line is completely irrelevant to me because The Meridian Room would have been my primary reason for using it. The actual method of transportation has eliminated the destination!)
I’m genuinely heartbroken to hear this. The Meridian Room has not only been a Dallas institution, but a place that’s been dear to my heart. So many good nights have been spent with friends under that red tin ceiling. It’s been a place of reunions, goodbyes, birthdays, and the location for our annual Thanksgiving Night of debauchery. I can’t see another bar in Dallas taking it’s place…
Meridian Room, you will be sorely missed.
Get more on the story here.
this is GODDAMN RIDICULOUS!
PDX represent!
This is very upsetting news, and I don’t even live there! This is the bar you took me to with my cousin the night we went bowling right? And then the time we went with Brian and Jen when someone tried to steal our booth??
Dang! I never got to try this place.
andrea, yes. that was the place. also the place where i “got” your christmas present beer glass.
how could this be? i am so sad.
Ha ha. I forgot about that!! R.I.P. Meridian Room.
Hell, I used to go there in the 80′s when it was the State Bar. Sad, sad thing.
i am so sad…
where will we have the mcferrin extended family holiday drinking extravaganza?
i know. so depressing…
Meridian Room back in business…
