Instead of sulking at home about not being able to get our semi-cold favorites, Wing and a Prayer Wheat and Iron Heart Stout, we decided maybe it would help to sit around the crumbled fireplace and tell stories. So please post your favorite Chumley's memory or any photo you might have of being there. Kumbaya fellow villagers.

My fav memory of Chumley's has to be the first time I found it. It was raining and we were trying to go to--gasp--Caliente Cab. Some nice person outside happened to tell us how horrific the food is and suggested Chumley's instead! What a treat! I wish I knew who that person was because I would send them flowers and a gift certificate to Chumley's, as it has been my boyfriend and my weekly favorite since then.
And to think...we almost missed it for Caliente?!!!
I can't wait for it to return. Keep us posted if there are any neighborhood events, fundraisers, etc. We don't live in the neighborhood (unfortunately) but we would still love to do what we can.

Don't really know if I have a SPECIFIC memory ,per se. I guess there are so many. I've lived in the W.V. since I graduated from NYU in 98 and I've loved every minute of that neighborhood.
The Bedford/Grove/Barrow block is in my opinion the best in NYC. I've had so many great first dates, last dates, beers with college buddies, meeting old friends--new friends at Chumley's that no single one is the best.
They are all special in their own way. It was a special place. Regardless of what happens, it will ALWAYS be a special place. I am looking forward to many more beers and burgers as soon as it reopens.
Kudos for starting this site. I look forward to many more memories being shared. Who's next?
Looks like the New York Times stole your picture for their article yesterday.
That writer must be secretly reading your awesome initiative!
