Reading the Caris James thread about coffin maker Scott Cummings I remembered having seen his myspace account when I was looking into James Alefantis there. This picture got my attention:

"Finally just finished my sign!" it reads indicating that he either is in the business of making signs (doubtful) or that this is "his" bar. If someone can dig out the official registry for this place it would be very helpful. So far all I've seen to find it that they are brought to us by the owner of "Cups and Sauces"

I stumbled upon this youtube video taken from inside the bar. The first thing I noticed was the creepy artwork:

The third thing I noticed was that the bar is decorated with a CHILD SIZED COFFIN with a PENTAGRAM on it:

"Live Music Specifically: Acoustic / Folk / Punk Photo Booth Pinball Specifically: 3 Machines / Addams Family / Simpsons / CSI With... Dog Friendly Minors Permitted Smoking Area"

All of the bands I could find on youtube performing at the Bar were Death Metal/Black Metal or Punk bands. Yet they are described as "kid-friendly" with features like pinball, a photobooth). Notice also "minors permitted" You would think that means maybe during the day but no, that seems to apply at all times which seems strange to me since where I come from that would never be tolerated at a bar at night.

From a yelp review:

"It was a busy day, there was a dude checking ID's at the door...that's cool...except the fact there are like 4 babies in this place. Instead of checking my ID maybe call child protective services because I'm pretty sure that baby isn't 21, and I am pretty sure both mommy and daddy are drinking. "..." I like this place, but I have a real issue with bar babies."

Google lists it as "kid-friendly" :

Reading through rest of the reviews on Yelp is like reading through rejected fan fiction of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episodes. It's seriously some of the worst reviews I've ever read:

"In short, the place was dirty, the food was tasteless, and the waitstaff gave us major attitude when we pointed out to them that they had overcharged us by $15, claiming we had 5 beers when we had only had one. When we pointed this out, the bartender claimed that "well it was on the ticket that you had five--I havent been here the whole time" She had been there the whole time actually, and I dont care really what your bad excuse is for being careless...when a customer points out a mistake of that magnitude, attitude is not acceptable--an "Im sorry let me make this right" is called for. I finally got my partial refund in cash which was strange, but we were just trying to get out of there at that point."

"We were hungry and wanted to order some nachos, a shot and a couple more beers. We waved our hands, put a wad of cash on the bar, whistled, and yelled. I think the bearded bartender was on E or in a K hole, because all he could do was dance and shake his tail.... Literally, he was wearing fox tails in the back of his pants. About 15 minutes after moving up to the bar, we finally got our $9 shot of Bulliet, downed that baby as fast as we could, and ran across the street for some tacos and good service."

"One, the people working here really need to fucking focus. Look at me. Take my order. It's really irritating that you're either so stoned you don't know where you are or I'm not your childhood friend so you're going to completely ignore me until you finish your conversation with the 7 dwarfs dressed in all black. Second, turn down the fucking music. I like loud. I like very loud. There is no reason however to turn the volume to painful levels. If I can't hear myself screaming at my friend then YOU are doing something wrong."

"The music may be up to the discretion of the bartender - it might be classic country (played way too loud) or death metal being played mid-day. The pinball machines, pool table, photo booth, and ample outdoor seating are a great bonus and bring in a interesting mix of people."

"Waiting to order at the bar I was wondering if someone had pissed under the bar - seriously strong. Maybe someones catheter bag broke?" "In general it is sticky in this bar. Bathrooms are disgusting. Dark and dirty - but the drinks are strong and cheap. I have not eaten here - I'm too scared." "The bathrooms are incredibly disgusting. The clientele for the most part appear to be unemployed hipsters" "Also, the bathrooms are horrifying. Jesus Christ." "There is a terrifyingly narrow bathroom that I was too scared to go in. Even the full size bathroom was a but terrifying. Not dirty, just dark, cold, and reminded me of a torture chamber. "

There are plenty more outrageous stories.

"Calling us all faggots was really professional of you. I really appreciate the 4th grade insult especially after the tip I left you." "I sat down at the bar, looked at the menu, then this blonde ***** of a bartender rudely asked what I want and if I don't say in the next two seconds she's going to the next person. "

I've compiled much of them in the comments in this thread (where there is also some more info)

And the rest of them are here

And to get a picture of the type of impression this place I decided to find how many times the word "hipster" was used to describe it, just in the comment section where I posted the other links. 19. Yes, 19 times.

If I were to describe to you a venue and describe it as a hipster bar/restaurant that has kid-friendly features, hosted punk/metal concerts for all ages and had some strange and creepy artwork inside you'd think I was talking about Comet Ping Pong. I am starting to think the loud metal music may be used to cover up other noise and that is a disturbing thought. I mean they can't really like this music that much can they?

I am looking to find evidence that the bar is in fact owned by Scott Cummings, even in part that would prove to be extremely damning when taken into context with the evidence we have found already. I need more people on this as well since I've only looked at this for a few hours now and there is already a lot of very disturbing stuff I'm discovering!

P.S. Can someone verify that this comment from "woolming.fam" is Scott Cummings? I seemed to gather that from the comments in the other thread but couldn't verify it: http://archive.is/6aaZ3

That is the absolute worst so far imo, worse than any of the Alefantis stuff and there is no way this can be brushed off as innocent or a "joke".
