New bar in town: The Hang Around
It was The Wall, but it is now called The Hang Around, and it is owned by a New York cop Joe Diageranimo, who has spent the past three weeks cleaning up the place. “Personally I have cuffed and taken down to the King County jail five guys. I am not going to put up with it any more.”
His efforts have made a real change in the place. I went there tonight and it is a completely different bar. Locals were hanging out playing pool, and a Dj was playing old school hip hop and soul. Couples were hanging out playing pool, and there was a distinct lack of “thug” vibe about the entire place.
The entire bar felt safe. The new owner has brought in a doorman, and has made a real commitment to keep the place clean and safe. We have all heard stories about The Wall. This is a different place. It is family run and operated. Just a nice and clean place for the neighborhood to hang around in. About time.

I don’t get out drinking much any more but I have always
enjoyed having a beer in Mac’ triangle pub. I never have
set foot in brewski’s or the locker room. I can’t wait to check out the hang around.

I have been there, It’s totally safe! They have security and monitor the business well. Cheers to the newest members of our community :)

I’m not much of a bar patron, but I like the idea that this will make the area safer for everyone.

We went to the Hang Around on Thurday night. It was just me and another girl. We felt comfortable, safe and I really enjoyed the DJ. The drinks and pool table were good. It was ladies night so their were good drink specials too.
If only their were more people dancing!
