I love East Side because of their support of UNT, but…

1.  Can’t they come up with a promo without Aune?

2. Why does one beer cost what roughly half a six pack cost, and when did other drinks go through the roof price wise?  $16 for an old fashion with a middle of the road bourbon?

Eastside lost their way years ago....prices are dumb, great atmosphere, thatś what you pay for.  so many other great small bars in Denton to show your support...fry street...they always have the games on.  

 

I watched the game at the garage last night...put it on the TV I wanted on their patio...4 beers, 2 mixed drinks...17 bucks...but iḿ a cheap douchebag

Yeah agreed.  Eastside has become a country club these days

And why do they have watch parties for home games?  (And occasionally refer to UNT as North Texas University on social media??)

Not to dogpile Eastside, but “Hockatown” Mean Green Old Fashioned?

Made with the official North Texas Bourbon from that distiller.

Yes, but it’s Hochatown, not Hockatown.

perhaps a typo

[MeanGreenFan94]

I went to Eastside when NT had an away game basketball game and it was showing on ESPN+ last season. I went to a manager to ask them if they would put the game on for me. Guy spent about 2 minutes trying to look and said we don’t get that channel. I said sure but you all seem to have it during football season. Guy could have cared less. Finished my beer and went to another bar.

I’d say that’s obvious, but when you combine it with a picture of a player from last year and the “&” instead of the “$” before the 16 on the Hockatown Old Fashioned, I’d say they might want to have someone look it over before making it public.  Not a good look at all.

And if I wanted to get really nit-picky, I’d mention that the game time isn’t listed. Sure people can find that info other places, but they shouldn’t have to if you want them to come to your place.

And considering they have referred to us multiple times as North Texas University, I'd say they move from typo to "I don't care".  My suggestion, would be to find a bar that does care.

I don’t think we should be quick to alienate one of Denton’s only Mean Green athletic hotspots. Especially over a freakin typo.

Let them know that you think it comes across as lazy and unprofessional looking, and move on.

Could be autocorrect, which is obv out to foil the Mean Grene brand.

[cousin oliver]

I paid $24 for two pints in there and said that is it.  I have been hanging out at Lucky Lou's and they seem much more reasonable on their beers.  Also, I like that they have a grill and kitchen there.  The food trucks at Eastside are very hit and miss.

I don't think it has been quick considering some of the comments on here, calling us NTU multiple times, etc...  It takes two seconds to review that prior to sending it on for all to see.  It is lazy, unprofessional and, since it has happened multiple time, communicates a message that they don't care.

[greenminer]

Maybe I drink too much Meen Grean koolaid, but I just dont' think it's a reason to cancel them.  Find reasons to stay connected with local establishments, not burn the bridges.

Maybe a fan will want it enough to volunteer the two minutes to proof read their promos/releases before they get sent out.  They might appreciate that.

Just find another local establishment.  Not trying to burn any bridges, but this should be a two way street.  They have built that business off of the connection to UNT.  Now it appears they have stopped trying.

Seriously?  A fan to proof read for a business?  They didn't used to have this issue so why now?  Seems to me they are the ones burning bridges.  Honestly, I hate to see this.  I have been in East Side once in my life.  I don't live in Denton, so this doesn't effect me one way or the other, but they are their owner have been big supporters of North Texas athletics.  Maybe he is trying to attract a different crowd with the higher prices.  That is his decision, but at least put forth some effort with your marketing.

I don't think they're doing this out of spite, nor is this some massive stain on the UNT brand.  I stand by what I said, because I'm not interested in burning any bridges at all, and am willing to work with people on this.

Tough crowd, I guess.

[NT93]

I’d proofread it for a free Hockatown Old Fashioned.😄
