We may have lost an old friend over the weekend. A little birdy says, "Was meeting some friends at Sweet and Vicious over the weekend. As I was approaching, I noticed that Vig Bar was closed. The iron gate was pulled down, and there was some kind of sign in the door. I couldn't read what it said though, and didn't head over there to look." Wow. Vig Bar seemed to be doing alright. They also seemed well positioned for the nightlife shift that is taking place. We certainly didn't see this coming. Hopefully, it was just a one off thing. Calls to the establishment went unanswered. Consider this developing.

New ownership/management took over not too long ago, perhaps they waited until the dead of summer to make changes
Who are the new group of owners? I'm a bartender and would love a new job, I currently work and Pink Elephant and it blows....
The sign on the door said that they were forced to be shut by the SLA for 2 infractions going back to 2005. Looks like they lost their appeals. But the mandatory shuttering was only for 1 week. They'll re-open this Thursday.
Just to let you know, the owners have not changed. They just have a new manager. Joel left to open his own place.
