    So, was last night really the end for Mooney's? I wonder what will open in that space.

    Well damn. Having only been in the neighborhood for a few months we had yet to make it over there. :(

    Yarn Monkey, why didn't you post yesterday and give us a heads up?
    My brother is in town and he wanted to go there (used to live here) and I thought it had closed already. Damn, I could have gone. :(

    I actually found out the details on Friday night. I was told Mooney's is officially closing it's doors next week Wednesday, so don't try to steal the taps off the bar just yet. You and bro should grab a cold beer at Mooney's tonight. It's best to out with a smile.

    I get off work at 2am on Monday. If you guys will still be out, I'm down.

    I won't be out until 2AM, but will join folks for a beer.

    ...on the real estate front, I'm trying to think (aka dream up) of what I would put in the soon to be vacated space. I might try to get the diner next to it. The Diner and Mooneys seemed to be stuck in 1978.

    The brother in law leaves today.
    I'll be spending the evening crashed out on the couch, AC blaring, cocktail in one hand and my netflix. Chillin' like a villian

    I'm up for tues or Wed though.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm 95% sure that last night was the actual last night for the ole Chez Mooney...

    I know they had almost no beer and almost no mixers Sunday night and Scot turned in his keys, so unless one of the Mooneys is behind the bar, I think it is over.

    But might be worth a try just in case - just don't want you to be totally disappointed if it doesn't work out.

    well, if they are out of beer, you can count me out. plus, it sounds like a very small group so far.

    i just called up...
    the voice on the other end said they're closed.

    so, now that Mooney's is history ...what would you put in that location if you had a magic wand?

    It's big enough for a somewhat high end restaurant. If I could take out the empty diner next to it, I might put in something big, boring and profitable ....like a Pier I.

    There is alreadys lots of stuff nearby, so the trick is to either get us all to say "yes, that's a great idea", or to have it actually happen.

    ...no fair cheating and using insider information....

    Dang- I missed the last night at Mooney's AND the last party at Florent. I am like, not doing too good on my party girl intuition this week. Day-yum!

    What I would put in that space if I had a magic wand would be Smooney's Pub. Or Mrooney's. Mnooney's? Fooney's?

    Damn it, I WANT MOONEY'S BACK. I can't decide which will piss me off more: the place staying vacant, like the same landlord's Royal Video property, or some lame ass corporate whorestore moving in. You know it's not gonna be anything with a tie to the neighborhood.

    The closing night bash on Saturday was kinda fun, in a late-Weimar-Republic sort of way.

    Landlord is asking $12,000/mo for a five year lease with option to renew. I can't imagine what kind of business can afford that.

    Hmm. there's already a Sleepy's in Atlantic Center.....
    but, I think it will be something uses the nightlife (aka serves booze)

    TGI Friday or something horrible could occur, there is enough foot traffic.
