CLUB/LOUNGE

MOVING SIDEWALK

We’ll admit we were huge fans of Goro & Gun as it always had interesting
food and, man, that beverage program. So when it abruptly went on “intermission” we were not all too thrilled...soon news spread of it reopening and
in the words of the immortal Lloyd Christmas: “So you’re telling me there’s a
chance?” Well, at least a chance to have those drinks again. That’s right,
Moving Sidewalk on the superblock of Main Street is the reincarnation. Or
maybe better said, as the growth plan for the bar program that resided within
Goro & Gun, and we are all better off for it!
During the intermission the interior was redesigned to fit the motif of the cocktail bar, so if you have not been back since Goro left, you are in for a nice
surprise. The long bar remains and fronts a to-the-ceiling wall of spirits galore.
We saw all kinds of bottles we have never seen before, with the new antique
chandelier lighting overhead guiding our tour. Tables are sparse, minus the
glorious banquettes to your left as you enter, but this layout serves the bar well
creating a great open and interactive atmosphere. The kitchen actually still
remains but it’s now a mad scientist lab back there helping facilitate the wild
cocktail program.

But really, everyone needs a Moving Sidewalk. (Think about it, how awesome
would that be...but we digress.) Truth be told what we all really need is a
drink like the ones at Moving Sidewalk because \
