Ireland's Four Fields Forever! (Or Until April 2012)

Crap.  That's all we need.  Another indoor playground for drunken fratastic d-bags.  If McFaddens were a famous figure (alive or dead) it would certainly be Jerry Sandusky.  Too soon?  Please Frank, fight the power.  I will personally evacuate my bowels onto the floor of McFaddens the night they open.  Not that that would be different from any other night at McFaddens.

Cleveland Park needs a cupcakery!

...that also serves bubble tea, small plates ("Let me explain how things work here...") and "upscale comfort food."

It could really use a restaurant that specializes in breakfast cereal.

Only if you receive a discount for showing up in your pajamas.

McFadden's is nothing more than a fade...no pun intended. I went there once, and it was just OK. I love Cleveland Park because of its international, non-chain restaurants...please don't go Four Fields.  

NO FRAT BARS IN WARD 3 !!!

I have trouble believing that a McFadden's in Cleveland Park would be the same as a McFadden's in Foggy Bottom.  GW students aren't going to head to Cleveland Park for a night of drinking.  The clientele will still be local.  What McFadden's could bring from Foggy Bottom are some horribly overpriced domestic beers out of unwashed taps.  Now that's scary.  But to get all worried about a McFadden's opening up and attracting the "wrong crowd' is about as logical as worrying that a Bojangles in Union Station would bring an influx of fat Southerners.  Strke that, bad example. 

Plenty of the wealthier AU student set in Cleveland Park. 

Cleveland Park will not long survive the evil that now spreads from McFaddens. The light of the Four Fields is failing. As Post-Frat Bars' power grows, the neighborhood's strength wanes. Cleveland Park's life is now tied to the fate of the rent. The Shadow is
upon us. The end has come.

Being of British Blue Blood I am not fond of the Irish.

McFadden's does realize that Cleveland Park is not a bastion of underage, co-ed binge drinking, right?

Yet

Point taken. Wait until Tony & Joe's get wind of this move.

I'm sure Cleveland Park residents would be MUCH happier with the McFadden's clientele.

So much hate here.

Very disappointed Washington Psychotronic Film Society chose McFadden's for their return. Apparently the movies are being show in a basement I was unaware of, but I'm worried it's a trap. Has anyone attended and can report back something other than experiencing a block of lost time, a splitting headache, and waking up in an alley off Irving with their underwear on backwards?

and that's a problem because?

Fool me once with a chloroformed rag, shame on me. Fool me twice, SMELL YOUR OWN DAMN RAG!

They'd be much better off with just about anything other than McFadden's.

A combination Hooters/Methadone clinic would probably be a more pleasant addition to the neighborhood than a McFadden's.

McFadden's can go sell their herpes somewhere else, we are all stocked up here.

The trick is to burn your penis off before you go to McFadden's.

Or just wear a full-body condom when you go there.
