Lobo4819 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Anyone have any input on when The Dukes at Promenada will open? Dave? Was there the other day and peeked inside - looked like a nice brick bar had been completed, but not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may just have a dose of "friggatriskaidekaphobia". 13 is considered lucky in some countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Not much point in rushing it with the amount of customers there. I hope they got a nice discount on the rent for the first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I never thought I'd say this, but at least the parking situation at Prom will be easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) It has never really seemed to be full of a lot of people the three times I was there but the parking lots were full. WTK what do you mean the parking situation will be easier. Are they building another parking lot. They could make the one on the end of the mall heading back to the airport into a multi floored one. But it is quite a distance to walk especially if you have been shopping at Rimping. Looking forward to the Dukes there will be able to catch a movie followed up with a great meal and perhaps a little grocery shopping. I do hope that Rimping puts in decent lights. I admit the lighting system they have is great if you want Ambiance but I prefer the same quality of lighting I get at there river branch. Come to think of it their lighting is just a little brighter than Dukes on the river. Edit If I didn't change the spelling some one might rightly get the idea I can't spell with out a spell checker.

mic6ard Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 chock-a-block = full of people Right? If that's the case then the parking is definitely choc-a-block, but the rest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 WTK what do you mean the parking situation will be easier. I mean that the one on the river has no designated parking at all, other than what happens to be open along the road. So in comparison, even Prom is better. Duke's is one of those places where I only semi-commit to go for dinner, and if there's no parking then I just drive on. I do that a lot actually. Yesterday I pulled in to Jiang on the moat and it was completely full, not just the parking but the restaurant too.. so I drive on. It's Chiang Mai: where it's always an easy curb-crawl for food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaamNaam Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Open yet? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Open yet? Anyone know? He had the Monks in the other day to bless the place. Hope he paid them a little extra to bless the parking lots and make them grow. I have never been there when it was full chuk a blockl or what ever that is but I have been there two out of three times when the parking lot was. WTK I don't think you are looking at the situation rite. You can easily find a parking spot for Dukes at the Promenada and still have to walk farther than if you have to park a way from the Dukes. We have never had to go farther than the Iron bridge. We were in the airport mall yesterday see a movie (pain and gain) I want my money back ate at the Tops food court and got the last of the Pepsi Max and a case of Blue soda water. I waited out side the store for the car to come by and I will be dammed if I can see where they are losing customers to the Promenada. Even had to wait for a table at the food court.

A1Str8 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Any recent updates on Promenada? Is it still not worth to go there because half of it is not even open or it has changed? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theDukes Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 We should be open next week. We are hooking up the gas and we had to bring up the quality of the wiring and the last hood is taking some time. Other than a few other small things we are ready to go. The mall is also looking great. They could use a few more shops but it is coming along. Parking during the week is easy and on the weekends look to the outside lot and there are always spots available and there is a couple of elevators by the loading dock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was good having a "sit down" with you tonight about it all anyway. BTW. Love those new "rib sliders", should be a smash hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have any thing there other than the theater and Rimping to act as an anchor such as Robinson's? Sorry Dave I wish Dukes was big enough to serve as an anchor but alas you just don't have the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have any thing there other than the theater and Rimping to act as an anchor such as Robinson's? No and that's my point. Rimping is superb but the rest of the place is a large wasted space of numerous coffee shops and snack bars as well as some Thai buffet style restaurants. There are no shops I would ever buy anything from there; some small boutique shops and places selling cheap mobile accessories, etc. IT City has gone downhill lately in all of their locations and I would not buy from them again. The cinema was nice (especially the 3D) but more expensive than in Europe! Personally I hate malls but when I go to Airport Plaza I can find some shops that I do business with and can get in and out in 30 minutes or so. My family does not like wasting time is malls either so getting in and out quickly is a concern for us. I wish Dave and the new Dukes all the best of course!
