Pete Wentz Opens NYC Dive Bar

5/2/07, 2:35 pm EST

We rolled up to the brand new East Village watering hole Angels and Kings — a joint venture between Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy, some of the fellas from The Academy Is… and Crush Management — for the star-studded opening. Hova showed up to sip a drink in VIP, Ashlee was in tow — hell, even Tommy Hilfiger showed up for a second. But after the big name celebs shoved off, it was mostly just skinny emo boys and the girls who love them. We toured the joint, sampled the drinks (solid), and caught up with Wentz in the back room to talk about his new role as proprietor.

Can’t be much of a “dive” if Hova and Hilfiger are there. Unless I just never noticed those guys frequenting the Mars Bar and The Niagara before. I’ll have to keep an eye out I guess.

Andrea | 5/2/2007, 6:34 pm EST

Haha. That Ashley Ice Tea probably will be removed from the list within the next 3 mths.

Katherine | 5/2/2007, 8:39 pm EST

Hahaaa true what Andrea said!!

jen | 5/2/2007, 9:15 pm EST

I give it three weeks…. and there will be no Ashley Ice Tea. I don’t like her but what ev. If Pete’s happy.

Ashley Iced Tea is named after Ashley from Crush Management. She actually was the one doing a lot of the work to get the bar open.

I wish him and everyone involved in the bar lots of luck. NYC needs some new cool bars/clubs.

lizy | 5/3/2007, 1:49 am EST

Ashley Iced Tea is for sure named after Ashley from Crush, not Ashlee Simpson, and indeed she was doing a great deal of the Angels and Kings opening day work. I am very proud of her for getting a drink named after her and hope that one day I can achieve such greatness.

comment on PW | 5/3/2007, 9:18 am EST

I hate this guy… he wears eyeliner and calls it guyliner, fruit…and he thinks he’s blade

DecayDance | 5/3/2007, 12:42 pm EST

i think that he is going to away from the band!, hope he cares more about the band that stupid bar!

Ade | 5/3/2007, 2:18 pm EST

Ashley Iced Tea is not named after Ashlee Simpson.

123 | 5/3/2007, 4:13 pm EST

Most of of pete’s fans are underage to begin with. So pete must not be thinking that his little “dive” bar will fail.

falloutgurl | 5/3/2007, 5:08 pm EST

pete is amazeing
hes way to awsome’
and hes so freaking well rounded and talented…
theo nly thing im wondering here is
the tour was just pushed
i hope that he wasnt to caught up in this… which seems VERY likely he needs to stay focused on fob…
and less on the other little things… although all amazeing
theband needs to be FIRST
=)

DJB | 5/3/2007, 5:24 pm EST

You stupid emo chicks think that Pete Wentz is God’s gift to damaged girls, but seriously, he’s a troll! He’s steal your heart and slip away into the emptiness of the night (because he CAN slip away, because he’s tiny as a midge….)

DJB | 5/3/2007, 5:28 pm EST

Whoa, whoa, whoa…WELL ROUNDED AND TALENTED??? I’m so glad I don’t know you.

webegenies | 5/3/2007, 6:20 pm EST

Wentz likes peepee.

b | 5/3/2007, 7:14 pm EST

I only comment on this site when they do an emo spot – I just can’t resist easy targets. And I love it when these emo fans address their comments TO the artist.

Oh, back to the point – Pete Wentz leads a musical fad as bad as the Back Street Boys stuff – though even more insidious because it masquarades as the great musical wonder that is rock and roll. I hope to see Wentz crying some day on Behind the Music because he realizes in his old age what a hack poser he’s been all his life. Now that’s emo.

falloutgurl | 5/3/2007, 9:01 pm EST

im sorry are you guys making millions of dollars and building empires?? just wondering cause if only if you are do you have the right to bash people making something of themselves. I dont like some bands but I’m not closeminded like clearly many of you ARE and I still respect that they are talented or they wouldn’t be selling albums. If youve listened to any falloutboy songs which pete wrote you would see that they are aware that they are a fad and that they wont be around forever but why not live it up and take advantage of your talents even if for a short while? and make all that money

The Dude | 5/3/2007, 9:31 pm EST

The drinks are too expensive and that owner guy is wearing makeup.

falloutgirl-lover | 5/3/2007, 9:52 pm EST

I decided to try and contact you through this!

falloutgirl-lover | 5/3/2007, 9:58 pm EST

Well sweetie if I’m awake when you call again (IF you call again) I will answer but now I’m off to bed. PLEASE try not to wake me when you get home :)

NDog | 5/3/2007, 9:59 pm EST

Emo girls love Pete…what a shock.

birah0701 | 5/4/2007, 6:53 am EST

god, travis mccoy is so hella sexy. i wish i were gonna be in this city this summer, i would love to check this place out.

CK | 5/4/2007, 12:55 pm EST

It’s really nice to see midgets having the same kind of success as normal size people.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiii ii:
Travis, a Buffalo Sabres fan! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JadziaDragonRider | 5/4/2007, 9:42 pm EST

I’m very happy for them. Maybe I’ll take the two hour trip to go there on a night when I know they’re playing a show in the area.

patrickiscute | 5/5/2007, 12:36 am EST

Well i think its great what pete is doing just though he is a bit of a tool if you no what i mean and get over the eyeliner bit alot of guys are starting to wear it and it looks hot. but the band needs pete to stay focused on them. they are definantly most important.

jef | 5/5/2007, 1:08 am EST

what kind of ‘dive bar’ sells $14 drinks?!?!? do what you do best Pete, play sh*tty music!

zuton | 5/5/2007, 7:56 am EST

well well, another step for the pete wentz empire huh? whatever, i guess if he can manage it all… the question is can he? and i like fob, sure theyre a bit pop, theyre a bit mainstream but i like listening to them. its sort of good mood music.

Ashwee | 5/5/2007, 11:08 am EST

Yay Pete.

i dont think the ashlee iced t should exsist because what are they going to do when and if they break up? i dont even think she should exsist!!

Andie | 5/6/2007, 1:48 am EST

Not to much on Ashlee Simpson you’re just jealous because she is pretty and with Pete.

JadziaDragonRider | 5/6/2007, 3:41 am EST

I just realized that Travie was rocking a Slick Rick The Ruler tee. Wow. Total love, dude.

kyle | 5/6/2007, 12:34 pm EST

i love it when there’s an article on fall out boy or pete wentz, they seem to be loved or hated! i think people should just take them 4 what they are, a commercial rock band! infinity on high is a very good pop album and im just glad u yanks r finally listening to rock music again and that hip hop and r@b are dying a very slow death! When Akon is the leading artist in hip hop u know the genre must b in trouble! oh and the arctic monkeys new album is the album of the year by far. it should of got 4 stars!!!!

Kat. | 5/6/2007, 7:30 pm EST

Yeah I think people’s stupid comments about Pete and Ashley should just shutup cause they have no chance with him.
Pete Is the most amazing guy ever.
And anybody who is gonna make stupid comments about him.Or about his fans should honstly get a life. rather than trying to trash someone elses.
Cause honstly you think Pete cares what you say.
At least hes made it somewhere in his life

justica | 5/7/2007, 12:23 am EST

i hate you ashley pete es mio

obviousfakename | 5/7/2007, 3:48 pm EST

The Ashley Iced Tea is not named for Ashlee Simpson. It’s named for someone who works for Fueled By Ramen.

Panic | 5/7/2007, 4:06 pm EST

I thought Ashlee’s name was spelled A-s-h-l-e-e. Nice going, Pete. xD Don’t even know how to spell your girl’s name.

Laura | 5/7/2007, 5:53 pm EST

i read enough about your stupid comments people. this is about a bar opening. not about the bar OWNER and his life. if you don’t know wentz personal, don’t judge him before you truly know him. you can agree and disagree with his actions, but he’s just a person. who cares if he wears guy liner. does it affect you in ANY way? my opinion is that he’s a great guy, but i can’t say that for sure because i haven’t even been near the guy. get a life. if you hate the guy, don’t even freaking post a comment.

Me? I dont do guilt. | 5/7/2007, 6:27 pm EST

Pete’s moving in on your man, William.

-lol-

Nikki | 5/7/2007, 8:20 pm EST

i don’t think Ashlee
isn’t pretty

she is just lucky!
:P

Ash | 5/7/2007, 9:40 pm EST

That’s cool. I’d actually love to see underaged fans try and sneak in.

kachingg | 5/9/2007, 7:25 pm EST

wahahah did he put on chapstick in the middle of an interview? …and what happened to pete being straightedge? blew it off for the bar, eh?

ALICIA | 5/10/2007, 6:20 am EST

linda is right the name on the list says ashley ice tea, if he was going to put ashlee simpson it would of seen it on magazines

samatthedisco | 5/10/2007, 4:22 pm EST

ha ha there is a drink on the menu called nails for breakfast tacks for snacks , the name of 1 of panic! at the disco’s songs but non of panic are old enough to drink it lol

Panic!_Is_ | 5/10/2007, 8:52 pm EST

OMG that is soooo AWESOME!!!! All you people out there bagg Pete&&Othere famous dudes but what have you made of yourself?? Say you used your real name to post these comments, I, and everyone, would probably look at those names and this ‘Who?’. So just lay off these guys, I mean maybe if you had met them and they had acted like complete prats then maybe you would have a say but for the people that haven’t… Why? I mean, why would you take time out from your day just to try and make someone feel small? Go Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, The Used and more!! I

Dani | 5/10/2007, 9:13 pm EST

Im a huge fan of FOB and Pete and all, and I dont mean this in a bad way, but how come no one has really brought up the fact that Pete’s straight edge, he doesnt drink. He opeand a bar. Ironic? I think so. But good idea Pete, keep them comming!

I love Pete Wentz..I also heard that his and Ashlee’s dating may lead to Fall Out Boy’s break-up…If she did then I will hate Ashlee simpson for ever..I will be her worst enemy!!!!

Kat | 5/13/2007, 12:08 pm EST

oh yeah Wentz, putting Chapstick on during an interview. That’s class.

…and yeah Travie is way tall.

christina | 5/20/2007, 4:04 pm EST

lol he used all the names of songs from his band, also from his friends bands. like:nails for breakfast, tacks for snacks-panic! at the disco, church of hot addiction-cobra starship, and 7 minutes in heaven-fall out boy. thats a good idea.. yay pete go make more money! i’m not being mean its called honesty, and i dont hate pete either hes hot

Ti'Ericka (tee.air.ick.kuh) | 7/25/2007, 1:50 pm EST

I have about 6 years before I can go to a bar but it seems exciting.I would like for “A.K.47″ (hee hee) to be the first I go to. I guess that’s because I like anything that has to do with Fall Out Boy. I think Pete is a smart guy. Maybe I’ll open a bar and serve different kinds of kool-aid,lemonade,and soda. It would be called From Our Band or F.O.B. (That was lame.) This is pretty cool though.
