At Mory’s, alcohol policies tightened
What is this nonsense
Mory has such lousy food that these cups were the only reason to go there, ever.
What is going to happen now? Very simple. Mory's will be serving non-alcoholic cups to the clubs, and the kids will just bring handles of vodka with them and spike the cups.
I can't believe how stupid the American drinking laws are. All that police effort wasted for nothing in a place like New Haven.
Poster #1 is right. This is the death knell for Mory's. Many students never set foot in that place during their entire Yale career because it has absolutely no appeal. If they want to attract students, perhaps they should think about their overpriced menu, a rude staff which treats students like dirt while pandering to the "old school" alumni, and the declining quality of the cups. But alas! It's too late. Will the members of YPU, various sports teams, fraternities and a cappella groups continue to go to Mory's, only to be served $30 cups of Hawaian punch? Will tradition save Mory's? The organization so fervently believes in tradition! Well it used to be tradition for Yale students to go to Mory's, get sloshed, and have a good time (I am not referring to Prescott Bush's era. I graduated in 2001 and was a regular patron). Perhaps the Whiffenpoofs should get in touch with one of many fine restaurants in New Haven (Union League comes to mind), in preparation for Mory's inevitable demise.
Well, guess I'll never be going to Mory's now.
"Mid Winter Luau Party" !?!? You've got to be joking. The police tend to leave private clubs alone as long as they stay quiet private clubs. Way to ask for attention.
Mory's has changed a lot over the past decade, primarily with a change in management and staff. The attitude towards students has become rather negative, the nostalgia has gotten stale, and (worst of all), the cups are both a lot weaker and a lot less full (I'd say half empty, actually).
People go to Mory's because it is Mory's, not because it's better than Bar and certainly not for nonalcoholic Razz-A-Ma-Tazz (you've got to be joking). Trouble is, it's not really Mory's anymore. A new solution needs to be found - this one is downright awful.
I agree with Poster #6. There have been too many changes within the last few years. Management needs to be replaced, starting at the top because the success of Mory's can be only as good as it's leader. I know I won't be going there anymore.
I can get punch from the cafeteria and if I choose to eat bland tasteless cafeteria food, I'll eat at the cafeteria as well.
Nice article, but that must have been frustrating to write. Can't we have a follow up with what students really think of that place?
The official statements are the most disingenuous fluff ever. They reek like stale booze. I'm also impressed you found a student to say Mory's is more than the ... Really? Really? Really!
I go to Mory's for the excellent culinary variety, clean bubbly atmosphere, quick service, the friendly and professional staff, the creaky doors that won't stay closed, and the constant reminder that in the good ol' days, Yale was a bunch of WASPy males. Keep it up Mory's, and you'll be Doodling sometime soon.
