I could never understand why people liked this place. Good riddance.
downtown-watch, This is you: http://i.imgur.com/ajDj9jV.jpg
Well, I was going to only write “good riddance” but I decided I’d provide some context. Thought provoking meme there in the link.
So so so sad. Can I buy a lifetime supply of Manchego fritters and freeze them, along with the delicious mango sauce?
Cous cous is fuckin delicious man what are you talking about?
Hey downtown watch… If you’ve got something negative to say then at least have the back bone to leave a name.
Besides that, this place was truly special and will always hold a special place in my heart and stomach.
What kind of drooling mouth breather says “good riddance” to Cous cous. That is a great place and I’m sad to hear this.
downtown-watch: I’m sure the people that will be out of work appreciate your sentiment.
In regards to: -yo son- “Cous cous is fuckin delicious man what are you talking about?”
Perhaps we disagree on their quality of food, but we don’t need to reduce to profanity.
In regards to: -Mickael broth- “If you’ve got something negative to say then at least have the back bone to leave a name.”
Mickael Broth, please feel free to let me know your second favorite establishment you frequent is, so that we can fight each other there.
In regards to: -lolwut- “drooling mouth breather.”
I do breath out of both my mouth and nostrils, also, I have graduated from elementary school.
In regards to: -bopst- “the people that will be out of work appreciate your sentiment”
I don’t blame the employees for the business failing, they just work there. If anything, you should be blaming the owners, not me-
I am sorry to hear that it is closing. I liked it.
What will take it’s place?
Taking pleasure in the hardships of others is so unbecoming.
I’m thinking that maybe you should go somewhere nice and quiet, and once you are there alone and away from the rest of humanity, you should vigorously and with great moral purpose, go fuck yourself.
I will truly miss that place . They have done so much good with their benefits not to mention the excellent staff and great food.
As for Down town watch. Ill be there tonight if your feeling jumpy . Jump little frog jump. Just ask the bartender to point you in my direction. Theses guys don’t deserve dip shit yelp comments like yours at this time so I will be happy to shut you the fuck up. Love ya
moral suasion fuk yourself
i always thought Robin was tres …. is she married
Place was kind of “meh”, not glad to see it go nor will I miss it. I’m sure whatever takes its place will be equally whatever.
This sucks. Al, Chris and everyone else there are swell people. I don’t get there too often these day (just too lazy) but it was alway nice to know it was there. I guess I’ll have to get off my ass and make one last visit. Cous Cous will be missed.
I went to a green day show once and new found glory opened for them, they sang good riddance before green day. It was pretty funny. And shhhhhhh Allison.
Lots of friends loved this place for night time hang sesh. Damn good food! Too bad.
Never ate there, but as a bar it was kinda “meh”. Not that the bartenders were particularly bad, but the lack of any decent specials and the jack booted thugs running the door kinda killed it for me. Hopefully everyone can find a new job and something cool will fill the void.
Why is it closing? is business bad? I mean cous cous was a great place!
Hopefully something better will take its place :)
Sorry for those losing jobs, but it had the Yamashita curse: mediocre food, spotty service and a crowd that makes you remember why you stay home more often these days. :/
Cous Cous closing truly sucks for RVA. And “Down Town Watch” person, I don’t believe anyone is trying to fight you, kind sir or madame. People just want you to be strong enough in your accusations and convictions to put your “real name” on your statement. So, if you can’t, then please, kindly and promptly, SHUT UP!
Man, they had the best happy hour scene in town. Quiet, dark, right next to campus. This is bloody awful.
BTW, thanks bopst for nailing that idiot.
hey guys, i’m doing a video project on cous cous & i’m looking for people who are willing to do an on camera interview. (it’s only going to be viewed by my professor & classmates)
i’m particularly interested in interviewing people who really love cous cous and/or have been going there for a long time. if you (or anyone you know of) would like to be interviewed for my project, please send me an email: walkers@vcu.edu
